Il Mattino Vivace |Pure Ground Coffee | Blend of Arabica & Robusta| Medium Roast | Notes of Caramel | Intensity 7 | 200g Pouch

Awesome classic aroma & pure south indian coffee experience!! Just need to add an extra spoon or two of powder, since this does NOT have chicory, and I like strong coffee. I have tried 40+ coffees instant & ground. This seems like ROBUSTA beans, which I love more than the "premium" over-hyped ARABICA, now will (the elite) society accept me for saying this? On opening the seal you get the punch of strong aroma, initially and if you open after every few days. The key to retaining this aroma is using an air-tight container. But after consuming for few days, there is bound to be air locked inside the jar. The volatile aromatic compounds get oxidized with air exposure and hence you get the strong aroma only when you open after not opening for a few days (of aroma accumulation inside the jar). Truly air-tight models for coffee, suck out the inside air using special lid mechanism, but those are extremely expensive. Arabica will be good for black coffee with water, with it's fruity and mild non-bitter qualities. But when used in milk, the Arabica result feels "smooth soft creamy" and "feels and smells like milk" - which I do NOT like. Also brewing Arabica milk coffee with ground powder (not instant) is somewhat a pain, you can never get a high strength taste, need to add too much powder. This problem reduces reasonably with "very dark" roasted Arabica beans that state taste profiles like nutty, chocolatey, bitter etc. Do NOT use those "speciality" "premium" "delicate" "fruity" "floral" types of Arabica in milk!! Those are for black coffee in water. Many of us like "south indian filter coffee" actually due to a part of chicory in it. But that sometimes starts feeling boring or polluted or adulterated :) and you crave for "pure" coffee. This model comes handy for those purist craving seasons. You can also mix this into your chicory-coffee blends to strengthen the coffee part, add some variety. I personally do NOT like more than 15% or max 20% of chicory, any more chicory than that I lose the coffee taste/experience, and start feeling like I am drinking chicory root instead of coffee beans. This one is not expensive as well.

It's a great deal for those who want a more international flavour. Lavazza of course is a global brand, and I appreciate the affordable pricing because other Lavazza or illy or other coffees are super expensive. Lavazza is a great daily coffee, but I will agree that it is a milder roast. A gentle and reliable daily everyday coffee of good quality rather than a strong punch of something exotic.

Good coffee. Premium quality. But the flavour is not very strong. Still I like it.

Product is correct in price range and the coffee tastes good. Highly recommended for daily espresso machines and who dont want to grind everyday.

Coffee is average. Not that strong which they advertise. Works well in my home expresso machine but its too acidic. I have to take something for acidity if i take more than 2 cups in a day.

Filter coffee powder , I liked . Used to have it every morning for some years . Price has more than doubled and the aroma less .

Good

I bought it for the discount price, just to try something new, and the 1st I made the coffee it didn't taste nice, not being dense. After a week, I opened it again to finish it asap, and I prepared it in an hurry and boy oh boy for the first time I tasted the SMOOTHNESS OF ARABIC BEANS. So smooth, mild but lovely taste. Definitely gonna try their range of products.
