Tierra! Selection Whole Bean Coffee Blend, Medium Roast, 2.2LB Bag , 100% Arabica, Rainforest Alliance Certified, sustainably grow

Great coffee. I’ve been committed to beans from a local roaster but will stay with Tierra now. Classic Italian roast flavor.

Great product and no chemicals.

I MAY change this to five stars later. This review is only after my first cup. I am used to ultra dark roasts like Starbucks Italian Espresso Dark Roast(the standard that they use for all lattes) and Cafe Bustelo, Cafe Pilon(both very dark Cuban roasts from Miami). I use a Delonghi Retro (Amazon, like all my stuff) and a Krups grinder(yes, also an Amazon purchase). I quickly dumped the whole bag into an air tight container. Aroma is on the low side, but pleasant. Beans are much lighter roast/color that I normally drink. Lighter by quite a bit. I read here in the reviews that the best espresso is NOT made with dark roasts. We will see. EDIT: Later this same day, I changed my rating to FIVE stars from four. I found out how to best make Lattes using this Tierra. You must pull STRONG double shots...Twenty seconds (2 oz) or less. Use MUCH less steamed milk than you use with a dark roast. I found out that about 35%-40% LESS milk helps you better experience the smooth, complex flavor of this Tierra. Warning: This bean may not look or taste High Octane, but it IS! The caffeine content seems through the roof, even compared to my Cuban beans. I never get buzzed from a double shot of Starbucks or Buslteo. I DO, from this Tierra. That is a good thing. Do NOT drink any of this before Doctor's physical. It will skew the BP and pulse results. I am not kidding. I ground some up, not too fine, to pull the best shots using my $99 Delonghi. My first double shot came out a bit underwhelming. I brewed a second double shot waiting 20 seconds instead of my usual 30 seconds. MUCH better. I may have to get used to the roundness and complexity of this coffee. I am used to "in your face" dark roasts. I may have to transition slowly by mixing my remaining dark roast with the Tierra. Maybe 75% Tierra and 25% Starbucks/Bustleo. Don't cringe. EDIT: That didnt work too well. But I find a blend that I loved: 95% Tierra and 5% Starbucks. When the Starbucks is gone, I will never buy again. Boycott due to their discriminatory hiring practices. Lucky I found this Lavazza. I do love it. Perhaps my taste in coffee/espresso is finally evolving. I bought this brand because of a guy on DIsqus I met while commenting on recent politics. Somehow espresso came up. He mentioned Lavazza. He drinks another type. I chose the Tierra. Did I choose well? Are there other types/blends of Lavazza I should consider? It is a bit confusing sifting through all the versions that Lavazza offers. Tierra users seem the most passionate. So, I went with Tierra...for now anyways. Two pounds is a LOT of espresso! And $16 per pound is a lot more than the $5 per pound that Bustelo costs me.

I grind Lavazza beans for use in a drip coffeemaker. This Tierra! blend is among the first Lavazza varieties that I tried. It makes a solid cup. It is a bit stronger than your usual supermarket shelf swill, but it is far more satisfying. This blend makes a strong and full-bodied cup. It has a little bit of a caffeine kick, but not excessively so. I didn't find this blend to be as smooth as some of the other Lavazza blends, but it's okay. Overall, I'd say Tierra! is among the more accessible Lavazza blends - it's not exotic or exceptional in any one area. It covers all of the bases and is just good enough in every noticeable area. I find Tierra! to be the most American-leaning blend that Lavazza offers. If you like Starbucks, for instance, but wish it didn't have that burnt taste and over-roasted flavor profile, you might like this coffee quite a bit. This blend probably makes a superb espresso shot, too, but I wouldn't know. Not my thing. YMMV. There are other Lavazza blends that I like better, but this is a solid choice if you are looking to create the coffeehouse flavor experience in your home.

The best coffee. I will never change—only TIERRA!

Outstanding flavor! Smooth and tasty!

We've tried a lot of different coffees in our espresso machine and liked a few of them pretty well; typically we were paying $12 up to $18 per kilo bag at Sam's Club. While browsing different espresso/coffee sites the name Lavazza had repeatedly come up, so out of curiosity I splurged on a bag. This isn't a coffee that wows at first sip, but it was notably better than anything we had tried to date, including from the local coffee roaster. The color of the beans is lighter than the typical espresso or french roast, and the smell of the beans is light and pleasant. It doesn't promise an "intenso" kind of cup, and it doesn't deliver that; what it does deliver is nice and smoooooth, nice aroma and good coffee flavor but no bitterness. With every cup I come to appreciate it more, it is just yummy. If this coffee were the same price as what we can get locally, it would be our only coffee . . . but this is 50% more expensive at nearly $30 per bag. I had this coffee yesterday, and switched back to our previous coffee today (I'm sipping a cappuccino right now), gotta say the Lavazza is just better tasting, and not by a small factor. Take this as a warning: if you don't want to spend this much money on your daily coffee, don't try this coffee because you can't un-taste it! There's no hope for us, we're hooked- there might be other coffee out there that is as good, but you won't find it at a grocery or warehouse club; this is a coffee I can end the search on. Is it worth close to $30 a bag? I don't know, all I know is I want it, I need it . . . okay, yes it's worth it.

I've been a fan of Lavazza Tierra for several years, and have bought 36 bags since 2009. I like the Lavazza Tierra! 100% Arabica Whole Bean Espresso Coffee a lot. I've tried many brands, many blends, and many types of beans. I consider Lavazza Tierra very reliable. The beans have a round, pleasing flavor. Not burnt, not acidic. It's an assertive flavor, like a short espresso from a good Italian or Spanish cafe. I like them more than the other Lavazza options in 2.2 lb bags. These work well in both my old superautomatic espresso machine, and my current semi-auto. Nice crema. Nice flavor. The crema lasts for more than 5 minutes. Regarding quality: My 35th bag was horrible. I couldn't drink it, and threw it out. Burnt, caustic flavor. My 36th bag was good again. I think this might partially explain the polarized reviews. For me 35/36 bags were good. My experience suggests a 3% chance of a crummy bag.

Está delicioso el café!!!

Full taste, low acidity, enjoy every cup

çok pahalı olmaya başladı, fiyat politikası yüzünden vazgeçtiğim satıcı

Very good quality just like a good coffee from good Cafe, it's dark roast with slight bitterness at the end , but agreeable sting of coffee you need to wake up , for coffee lovers , machine used is delonghi magnifica evo

Lovely taste smooth and no bitterness
