Lavazza Intenso Coffee

Lavazza Intenso CoffeeThis is our second sampling from the new Lavazza range - and it's the top strength number fiver. As with all Lavazzas, it's based on Robusta beans which makes which in this case are darkly roasted - so this one was never going to be for the feint hearted. They suggest nuts and chocolate on the packet - but let's face it, there's none of that here. This is just a good old fashioned hard hitting coffee for those who like a pick me up so strong it would even get Pete Doherty out of bed before 9am. Strong though it may be - it's not harsh and there's no metallic after taste which is so often the case with the dark, Robusta roasts. We like it, so it's 8/10

What the Manufacturer's say: 

"Lavazza's experts have carefully selected the finest coffee beans from three continents to offer a distinctive blend: Robusta beans from Latin America, Africa and South East Asia provide intensity, a full bodied texture and a lingering dark chocolate finish while Arabica beans from Brazil add a touch of nutty notes. Perfect for those who love to enjoy the authentic Italian coffee pleasure."

Big fan of Lavazzas, so was happy to see some new names on the shelves of the supermarkets. The extra roasting gives this particular blend a slightly smokey flavour, which divides opinion for many coffee lovers. For me, I quite like the difference it brings to the brew. However, its the after taste that really steels the show, strong without a trace of sickliness.
