Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My review isn't so much about how good this espresso bean is because it's just fantastic. However, I've found very little about the difference between this and the "Super Crema" version of the same Lavazza espresso bean. I started about a year ago buying Super Crema and love it. It is a fantastic bean. However, being the price had seemed to come down a bit on the Gold Selection I figured I'd give it a try after a year of Super Crema. The Gold Selection is absolutely fantastic. I love both, but now prefer the Gold a bit more. Crema: Not sure what makes "Super Crema" any different than Gold Selection. Both have a great deal of crema and it holds very well. I noticed really no difference and if anything, Gold Selection may have a bit more crema. Roast: The Super Crema is a lighter bean. It's much smoother, with less aromatics. The Gold Selection is a darker roast and the aroma hits you upon grinding. Both are absolutely FANTASTIC. Here's how I'd suggest using. If you like to drink your espresso straight with no milk, maybe try the Super Crema as it's a bit smoother and more mellow. If you like to make lattes, go with the Gold Selection. I think the milk drowns out the mild flavor of the Super Crema a bit more than Gold Selection. I like to still taste the coffee. Sure you can use less milk to get the same result but this gives you a better overall drink JUST IN MY OPINION.
