 Which is better, the Lavazza Gold or Black can variety? Well, I'll tell you.Jun 30, 2008
By J. Randolph
"Lover of all gadgets."
The major difference between the Lavazza Qualita Oro Espresso (the gold can) and the Lavazza Italian Coffee, Caffe Espresso (the black can) coffees is that the Gold can Lavazza uses 100% Arabica beans from two different countries and the Black can Lavazza uses 100% Arabica coffee beans from only one country.
The Lavazza Gold AND Black canned coffees BOTH are:
1. Lavazza coffee
2. Made using 100% Arabica coffee beans
3. Blended from 100% Arabica beans.
4. Blended to make espresso
5. Roasted and Packaged in Italy.
Differences:
The Lavazza Gold can coffee uses 100% Arabica beans from two countries:
1. Central America and,
2. Africa.
Note: Lavazza states that the Central American beans in this blend contributes a floral aroma.
The Lavazza Black can coffee uses 100% Arabica beans from only one country:
1. South America.
Note: Lavazza states that the South American beans in this blend are sweet and aromatic.
Opinion: Both coffees are excellent. They have different characteristics and while everyone pretty much agrees that both are excellent coffees, some will favor the Black Can variety over the Gold Can - and vice-versa. NEITHER are bad coffees, they just appeal to different tastes and one might perform better in your coffee making procedure/equipment than the other. That still doesn't make either one "bad", it just makes one variety better suited to a particular brewing procedure and to personal taste.
I prefer one variety to the other MOST of the time - primarily because of the excellent result/taste I get from one using my primary coffee making procedure. When I use a completely different system AND procedure for making coffee, I prefer the other variety. BOTH are excellent coffees but one is more likely to perform better in your coffee making method and system and give you better results than the other. Properly made, I sincerely believe that BOTH coffees are EXCELLENT! Now, please excuse me while I go make myself a fresh mug of Joe (quadruple espresso, nothing added). MMMmmmmmmmmmm....

If you love true Italian Espresso and have a good pump machine but don't want to mess with grinding your own coffee - THEN this is the coffee!!! Great aroma, excellent flavor and rich crema!! Qualita ORO makes a great espresso or cappuccino. FIVE STARS!

 Black is better ...Jul 22, 2009
By N.W.H.
The Lavazza black is better and cheaper than the gold. It is also smoother and less acidic. I've tried both and the black is definitely better. You won't be disappointed with the black.

For those that don't like bitter (Starbucks) coffeeMay 02, 2008
By C. Cole
This is very good italian coffee and is worth the $12/lb price. It is medium roast and very smooth with no bitter taste. I find that it comes out best when you use a percolator rather than a drip coffee pot. It is espresso ground so you may end up with some grounds in your coffee using a percolator. If you like Starbuck's, don't buy this coffee.

Delicioso!May 22, 2011
By Brewha
I am a LOYAL fan of Lavazza. For two years I lived in Caracas, Venezuela and I would order both Lavazza Black and Gold because I needed my at home espresso! I read the reviews from others, but I had to taste it for myself. I then moved to Decatur, Al. and... THEY HAVE NO LAVAZZA!! So AGAIN, I continued to order to get my fix. I found myself narrowing down which coffee tasted better. Although the Black gives a true espresso hit, it is VERY bold.. but, it leaves a sort of tart aftertaste. The Gold too gives a great espessso hit, gives you a coffee/espresso richness, but the taste over all is WONDERFUL! I look forward to each brew because it truly is a tasty experience. YES, GOLD is my choice of Lavazza!! Happy Cupfulls to All.
