Customer Reviews

Wonderful cup of coffee! I just recently purchased a Preciso grinder and used the Lavazza crema beans; loved it! No sugar was needed! I dont understand the negative comments. This coffee is not bitter! Perhaps a good grinder would help. I have tried a lot of coffee beans, and these by far for the price are great!

Before this I've never taken home a coffee that wasn't maxwell house ground coffee or some off brand instant coffee at my local a&p. Also Kurig. This is so different and so much better that my first cup left me smiling. This purchase was preceded by my receipt of an Aeropress coffee maker. That plus this coffee is a great combo.

Customer Review
If you are fan of the Illy IperEspresso medium roast, then you'll probably enjoy the Lungo. I'm a huge fan of the dark roast capsule (see my other reviews), but the Lungo didn't suit my taste buds. I found it comparable to a strong cup of Colombian roast arabica. And, I prefer my espresso to taste, well, like espresso.

I tried the Lungo because I wanted a longer pour. I get every last drop out of the dark roast capsules, probably waiting too long to stop the brewing cycle. The two ounces of espresso-magic-in-my-mouth always ends too soon, and I'm left wanting more. I thought a larger cup of espresso would be the answer, but this didn't do it for me. If I want coffee, I'll use my coffee press.

I still gave this product 4 stars because, although it isn't for me, the Lungo still produces an exceptional cup of espresso. I just wish they used dark roast instead of medium.

As a side note - the size/design of this capsule looks the same as the other roasts, yet it seems to allow steam to travel through the pod faster. When I brew my dark roast, it usually takes about 30 - 40 seconds to get two ounces of espresso. The first time I used the Lungo I turned my back for 20 seconds and my illy cappuccino cup (5 ounces) was overflowing. So, yeah - pay attention!

How to make Gourment coffee as Barista by yourself!!!

Making a cup of coffee is one of the routine parts of our daily life but when it came to brewing of a perfect cup of coffee, it requires something more than put coffee, sugar and milk together. Here are few tips to help you brew coffee as perfectly as a barista.
Nothing can parallel the luxury of a fine wine before the dinner and freshly brewed hot coffee after it as coffee is concerned, you can drink it all though the day whenever you want an instant boost for your brain and spirit but a mediocre coffee doesn’t at all serve the purpose; for the ultimate indulgence in the lavish aroma of coffee, you should take the taste of the barista’s gourmet coffee.
Stay aroung barista bar
Everytime when you go to your favorite coffee shop, stay around the counter bar and watch the barista's work. You will be amazed to find how effortlessly he sails through the steps like measuring, tamping, pulling and any tips and tricks that they will surprise you.
The lesson here is the barista does know his job to the perfection and practice perfectly. So be prepared to go through little trial and errors and spoil a good many cups of coffee before you start making justice to your high quality coffee grinds.
Ingredients of barista style coffee
Stay around in the coffee shops will open up your eyes to the factors like quality of the coffee beans and their storage.

Gourment illy coffe beans taste and painted

A balance of tones, the subtle and nuanced dialog........

Son of illycaffè founder Francesco Illy: Ernesto Illy said “When we drink illy coffee, our tongue gets painted. As long as it stays painted, it remains tasty!!!”
Producing the world’s finest tasting coffee requires an exacting balance of subtle, aromatic nuances: a blending of acidic, sweet and bitter notes, in order to create the distinctive of illy taste. illy's rich body envelopes the palate, creating a pleasant tactile sensation as it paints the tongue. Numerous flavors ranging from fruity to flowery with traces of chocolate, caramel, hints of almonds and honey, all blend sweetly together. Even those who prefer sugarless coffee are sure to be more than gratified by the end result.

illy's approach to sustainablity and not just gain the profit

In 1998, illycaffè joined forces with Share Our Strength (SOS), a non-profit organization dedicated to eradicating childhood hunger throughout the world.

To help develop Ethiopia’s coffee, growing community, the birthplace of coffee, and a source of illycaffè’s premier beans – illycaffè partnered with Share Our Strength to launch Cup of Kindness. Founded in 2004, the program has funded construction and ongoing operation of the illy Community School in Moyale Woreda, a drought-stricken community in the Somali region of Ethiopia. illycaffè remains committed to the cause and the program, raising funds earmarked to help build yet more schools in Ethiopia.

Bodum Pavina Double-Wall Thermo Glasses

Product description
At last, a glass that won't burn or freeze your hand. Two walls of clear glass with an air layer in-between not only keep drinks cold--or hot--but prevent condensation from forming on the outside. So, an ice-cold shot of vodka or a steamy espresso feels just right, no matter the temperature. And coasters won't be needed, either.

Winner of the prestigious European iF Design Award, the mouth-blown Pavina glass exhibits Bodum's flair for the modern. Each two-ounce glass curves beguilingly and fits the palm just right. Mouth-blown of borosilicate glass, which is quite a bit thinner yet much more durable than regular glass, the two Pavina glasses in this set are safe for both the microwave and dishwasher, resist temperature swings, and resist scratching and dulling. Care should be taken when placing ice cubes in an empty glass, and metal spoons for stirring are discouraged. --Ann Bieri
