EDIT 1/24/11
I meant to update when I re-ordered coffee but forgot. This 5lb bag lasted us from 10/30/10 through 1/17/11, sometimes brewed twice, most times brewed once daily. I got wonderful news from my doc that I needed to cut my daily caffeine intake, so I'm down to brewing in the morning, which means this next batch of coffee might last a little longer...let's see how fresh it stays. All-in-all, this was a very good coffee. So good that we'll continue to purchase this brand and blend from now on.
EDIT #2 5/10/11
Upgrade to 5-stars.
I re-ordered another 5lb bag at the end of April 2011. The previous bag didn't last nearly as long as my first order. I tihnk it has something to do with the fact that we (wife and I) purchased an expresso maker. It's not a fancy one, but the mypressi TWIST Handheld Espresso Maker makes pretty good espresso and these beans realy do make a decent shot. I don't have a burr grinder, but bought this Mr. Coffee electric grinder to prepare grinds for the espresso shots. Even after being ground with an electric grinder (purists will not agree), these beans do make a good shot with even better crema. Now I can honestly say these beans do not disappoint one bit - for both daily drip coffee and single shot espresso, these beans are superb.
What they all have in common is that they are over rated and not worth the money. I do not mind spending top dollar for great coffee but if it is going to be mediocre then what is the point? I may as well buy coffee in the Super Market.
The Love Joy by far is the Best For Me. The problem is that it is hit or miss. I own the IZZO Duetto 3 and the Electronic Mini grinder. My Machines are pretty much top of the line. So I do not get the fact that the flavor is not consistent. I have been doing this for a while. I know someone will comment that maybe it is my Tamping. That is not it. I have used over 12 bags of the Love Joy and in between waiting for my order to arrive I have used other brands. The first few bags gave me that Choco taste and then hit or miss. This last order of six has not really been that great.
This is a Review Of Coffee Bean Direct Italian Roast, Not Love Joy. I am just trying to lead into why I am giving the Coffee Bean Direct Five Stars.
When I opened the Bag of Coffee Bean Direct the first thing I noticed was a fairly dark roast that had that Oily coating. So it looked great. I have switched from Dark to medium roast over the last year, but reading reviews about this coffee I expected it to be a dark roast. I decided to order it anyway. What do I have to lose? I am looking for my dream coffee and I will try anything.
This Coffee is not my Dream Coffee but it is every bit as good, if not better than all the other coffee brands. There is no way I will get that Chocolate taste from this. I know that and the reason is because it is a Dark roast. I had no great expectations about this coffee too be honest. I basically would not have been disappointed either way.
I spent time writing this Long review because maybe someone out there is like me? Trying to find the right combination. I will purchase the Love Joy again in the hopes that it will be consistent for my taste buds. Mean while I am going to stick with the Coffee Bean Direct Italian Roast. It does not have that severe Bitterness of the Lavazza and the coffee looked fresh and the taste wasn't bad.
I am giving this Five Stars because of the Cost Factor. It was fresh in appearance and the flavor was pretty good. I would suggest if you have a Food Saver to seal up one pound portions as soon as you open this bag. This is Five Pounds of coffee and unless you are going to use it all in a few days? You may want to protect your investment.
