## Description

In 1895, Luigi Lavazza began perfecting the art of coffee blending and roasting. His dedication to innovation and passion for quality helped spread the coffee culture across Italy, establishing Lavazza as one of the premier names in Italian coffee excellence. For Lavazza, authentic Italian espresso is the perfect balance of body, aroma, and flavor—an elegant tribute to our tradition, honed through a century of expertise and craftsmanship. Gusto Crema offers a blend with a rich, balanced taste, featuring a carefully crafted mix of Arabica and Robusta beans. These beans are handpicked from the renowned plantations of Coorg and Chikmagalur, offering an exotic flavor profile with hints of chocolate and spices, creating a truly exceptional coffee experience.

Review: The flavour is beautiful. The roast is rightly dark, but not too dark. It is perfect. It has been decades since I drank Qualita Oro. So I cannot compare this one to Qualita Oro which is Ethiopean if I remember right. That would cost you Rs. 7,200 a kilo. Qualita Rosa would cost about half of that. At 800 a kilo, Gusto Crema is a bargain. India is an important coffee grower. I have bought Chikmangloor grown Plantation and Peaberry beans from a local reseller. I have bought Classic coffee beans, Rage, Vero which stopped the Indian production of beans. For a lot of years I had to find a balance between flavour and the cost which Vero had offered. After that stopped I was on the lookout for an alternative. And of course, for the price, I just could not ignore Lavazza Gusto Crema. The cost actually made me wonder (it's so cheap) whether I should take the risk. But I could rest assured with the Lavazza name. For Rs. 800 a kilo, it is really cheap. But rest assured, the quality is international. If you enjoy real coffee, if you can appreciate a coffee from a gourmet coffee shop like CCD, Barista, Starbucks etc., then this coffee is for you. Please don't buy it if you like coffee with strong chicory flavour. Don't buy this coffee if you are the one who adds a tinge of Nescafe to a glass of milk and lots of sugar. If you are an instant-coffee lover, this definitely isn't for you. If you like your beans over-roasted so that they almost smell like dried fish or prawns, this isn't your coffee. But if you have never tasted the real coffee or find it too expensive, this definitely is worth a try. It is real coffee at a bargain price. I can understand why Vero (I loved their coffee by the way) had to shut down the Indian manufacture. I can give 100% guarantee for this Lavazza Gusto Crema.
Review: Its good, but beans are sometimes over roasted. But taste and aroma is good
