Lavazza Torino Qualita Oro, 100% Arabica coffee beans.
Medium roasting, strength: 4
"Qualita Oro has an intense taste with the rich flavour and aroma expected from a true Italian espresso."
I have been grinding the beans at home (on a fine setting) and then brewing the coffee in a standard large coffee plunger.
When drunk black, this coffee has a full-bodied, nutty flavour with a hint of sweetness. It is smooth on the tongue rather than being noticeably bitter, but there is an underlying sense of that warm and rich bitterness that you get with a good dark chocolate. The aftertaste decays gradually.
Adding milk dampens down the sense of bitterness and enhances the smoothness, and it would be quite easy to drink a lot in one sitting!
Verdict: a pleasant, smooth and sophisticated cup of coffee.
