Milder mocha flavor with very little caffeine jitters compared to some other coffees I've tried. Very nice coffee with excellent cream and flavor.

Percolator coffee tastes richer and more satisfying in my opinion. I can't speak to the expresso question but would think coffee brand and amount used could be managed for an acceptable result.

I have only tried this brand and I got it for my husband who loves his coffee in the morning. He says this brand of Kona is milder than most that he's had. It doesn't have that bold taste that he's had with other Kona coffees he's tried.

The sound of brewing is fairly muted, but at the end you hear a series of bubbles. That sound kicks in a Pavlovian response inducing me to satisfy my caffeine need as quickly as possible.

I guess the question applies to caffeine sensitive people. If you are one of them and based on experience of one of my own family, if you stick to one cup you will be fine; second and third cups you will start feeling the effects.

Using the finest grind, without adjusting the volumes I have tested 5 beans and here is my order of preference:1) Illy red cans (medium roast). Great aroma, perfect bitterness and acidity.2) Lavazza top class. More subtle and less acid than the other lavazza, great flavor.3) Lavazza gran Riserva. A bit more acid and less aroma than top class.4) Lavazza super crema. More on the acidic side. Medium aroma. A bit nutty.5) Lavazza Gold. Worst of the lot. No interest at all, bitter, lower aroma.Note: I only drink Espresso...

I think they say there's no reduction in caffeine compared with regular instant coffees, just a reduction in acid. I notice no difference in caffeine myself..."feels" the same as regular, just no stomach issues.

Somewhere on their site or in the blog I came across mention that they use a blend of robusto and arabica, that's how they boost the caffeine while still achieving good aromatics and flavor. It seems that they also have a source of very high quality robusto beans.

I am looking at their coffee booklet right now and it looks like they are caffeinated... But they have a decaf selection. I have had their decaffeinato Lungo and the straight decaffeinato and they are both very good. Otherwise I like the intense dark coffees.

I actually like them all. The malt/dark choc is probably my least favorite though, yet I still like those. I shake a box up in the morning without looking and just do a random pull, that would be the one I drink that day.

I had a one-on-one demo yesterday of the VirtuoLine (slightly newer product - said the only difference was size/shape and larger water reservoir). The coffee was plenty hot, and i like mine hot. It was too hot to drink and for quite some time.

It has a different taste than the NOW stevia. I think now has more of an aftertaste. I had to adjust. I buy both and use differently. Mood and Mind is more cost effective. Use M&M; in food, and NOW in drinks. I use a lot of stevia.

I have brewed 3 batches of the "Everyday IPA" and everyone that tried some loved it. I have a batch of Grapefruit Honey in the fermenter now.

I have not tried that one. I will have to buy a bottle to compare. Let me know what you think if you buy one.
