Italian Roast Ground Coffee 12oz Bag, Extra Dark Roast (Pack of 1) - Package May Vary

I do not normally write 5 star reviews, but I will sure as heck write 1 star reviews by the thousands. So when I write a 5 star, take notice. This coffee is awesome, its especially awesome if you like real dark real strong coffee. Its got a punch but it is not bitter. I am typically hung up on Starbucks Italian Dark roast whole bean, so far this is the only coffee that comes close. My wife purchased a bag at the grocery store even though I only use whole bean that I grind myself in small batches at a time, but I am really glad she got this ground coffee for me to try. It is strong, real dark but mellow. First sips in the morning is a bouquet of flavors; light chocolaty, different nut flavors, and very rich coffee flavor all its own. I wish I could afford it in whole bean, but what they have it priced at is out of this world. I did not understand why they charge so much more for many of the whole beans. But I think I found out why, and I really think its wrong, a little off the subject but please bare with me. Before I retired I owned and operated a multi-million dollar company, the only time we raised prices is if our product costs increased, or we had unusual cost increase in operating expenses. Otherwise our increases sales we generated added to our profitability. I was reading one of the many articles that I get in the Wall Street Journal, and one of the writers interviewed a CEO of Levi Strauss who said something that just ticked me off, and I quote, " We have a particular version of Jeans that we have AN OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE OUR PRICES ON". They have an opportunity, to charge more, they don't need it because of higher costs, or because they need to charge more because of increased expenses. They just have an opportunity to charge customers more. I guess it is the same thing with whole bean coffee, it don't cost the sellers more for whole beans, if anything it costs them less, but they have AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHARGE MORE, an thus the price gouging begins again and it just makes inflation worse. I apologize this is really not the place. Try this Lavazza Italian Roast Ground Coffee, you'll love I am sure, and you will love the low price Amazon is selling it for, it is a very fair price. Amazon, reader of reviews, you have my permission to delete the part about the Wall Street Journal subject matter.

As many others have said, this is excellent coffee. I normally buy whole bean coffee and grind it myself. However, I opted for ground coffee for when I just wanted a quick pot of coffee without dragging out the gear. The grind is fine and uniform. Smells great and tastes even better. High-end coffee at an affordable rate. Well worth it.

Smooth, strong espresso flavor with low acidity. Works great in my espresso machine and produces good crema. Not too bitter compared to other dark roasts. If you like bold coffee without harshness, this is a solid choice.

Good taste

This coffee tastes great! The six pounds are much less expensive than purchasing coffee in the grocery stores.

Love this coffee. The flavor is bold and fresh. The grind level is perfect. It’s become my go to brand

beats the crap out of Folgers crystals!! lol its good... good enough that my neighbor comes over every day for a cup er 3. Heavy cream and a douse of chocolate makes for a great morning.

This coffee has really good flavor. The reason for 3 stars is because 3 of the 6 bags were leaking coffee from open seams on the bottom of the bags which meant that I had to transfer that coffee to a different container. None of the bags are resealable which is a big PITA. Why can't you, Lavazza, bag the coffee in a RESEALABLE bag?!?!?
