My brother-in-law made me a coffee snob. So, he surprised me with this Lavazza Espresso. I honestly thought it would taste like "Welcome Centre" coffee, but it was not bad. Sweet, oily, and quite easy to enjoy. But, it's just one of those things where I would only buy it if there were not many other choices.

Pointless fun fact with name drop, cause I am the main character right now, the cappuccino cup I am using came as a set, that was a gift from retired NBA player Danillo Gallinari. They were two, one fell and broke when I was in Texas. I have it in a box and will super glue it together some day. Also included were two espresso cups that I've never used.

Lavazza here in Italy is one of the worst. There was a scandal where it was discovered that defective capsules and other suff (I forgot the details) were mixed with fresh one and sold as special blend.

Also all of them taste like charcoal, extremely bitter and no taste.

But some swear it's the best. Not sure why.

EDIT: I checked, basically a nothingburger. Their coffee sill taste not good in my opinion. I think in the US it's roasted better. Not sure if Pellini is there, but give it a try, it's my go to when not in the mood for specialty.
