So what's the difference in taste between this and the dark brown can of "Lavazza Cafe Espresso?"

They are similar but the Crema e Gusto is better if you take your espresso with milk.

i have never ordered the can, so I can not compare. I would recommend you phone Lavazza in NYC, that is how i learned it was available on Amazon. they told me they were changing packaging..so, maybe that is all it is. Sorry I could not help more

I think you're referring to the black can, at least it's black on Amazon for me. That one is 100% Arabica beans. This is a blend of Arabica/robusto/Indian. It will have a chocolaty undertone and tastes bold, yet smooth if extracted right. If it's over extracted, it can be a bit sharp and bitter. I've never actually tried the black can though. I did get Blu once, and that was really good. Didn't care for Qualita Rossa. That one was too burnt tasting to me. Not as sweet.

The difference is in the roasting, Crema e Gusto is more mild and with gentle acidity.

I buy this in Italy for about 7euros on sale, the 4 pack kilo, whenever I go. When I am not in Italy I order it here for double price. It is the same as what I buy there, only there there are many choices for the Crema e Gusto, I like the Napolitano Gusto. Also I prefer the Lavazza Rosa. Crema e Gusto is a lighter blend that has espresso but I don't think of it as their real espresso. I would go for the Lavazza Nero or Espresso (black package/container) for the full flavor espresso, very strong, pure espresso. Lavazza Rosa is a bit stronger than Crema e Gusto but still a nice blend.

I can't tell a difference in flavor, but I like this one because I kept breaking the glass ones. I think maybe it keeps the coffee hot longer, but I can't say for sure. I also think it looks really elegant.

It's pretty dark espresso brown. If you don't put it next to each other, it probably wouldn't be too obvious. It's closer to black. But, if you put it side by side, you could see the difference. HTH. :)

It's hard to make out in the product picture because they used cold lighting but it's more of a deep rich brown, like you'd expect of some furniture. I'd say it's...darker than milk chocolate and just lighter than dark chocolate if that helps at all..? Can't think of another reference at the moment."Espresso" works. But take into consideration that the room lighting will play a HUGE difference in your color. My nursery was more dimly lit so it seemed almost black. When I moved it to another room with large windows good sun exposure, it was unmistakably brown.

There is a taste difference but once you start using it (and you acquire the taste) Coffee-Mate will begin to have that different taste-and no it isn't MAJOR.

Yeah, I ordered the brown. It's pretty close to what is shown in the display. Not great for an espresso table. Ah well, safety first.

I don't think it is as rich as expresso, but it has a fuller taste than from a drip machine. I really like my Presto.

The Fogo is a much more mild flavor than the Lazzari. I've used both. I've mixed them for a slight mesquite flavor which is great. I feel like the Fogo lasts a bit better. After using it the first time it seems to be pretty large still. I've been able to cook low and slow and very high with both charcoals.

It is not espresso. It is actually much lighter, as the picture depicts. It is also very small.

Dark Magic decaf and Barista Prima are MUCH stronger and bolder. I agree that this one tastes watery, which is a shame because I was excited about the organic and biodegradable factor!

I use the Lavazza "Cafe Espresso" blend - the black 8 oz can. One can will typically last us 1 week and we typically brew 3/4 shots a day. The can costs about $7, so it works out to something like 25c-33c per shot.

The Italian Roast has kind of a burnt taste. Maybe a darker roast then the French. I have had the French before and liked it better. Had been getting the Poor Man's Blend and really liked it. I am not a real strong coffee drinker.

I think espresso would be darker.it does look like you see in the picture. The wood is beautiful, it doesn't look cheap.

espresso and cappuccino are almost the same color. The Nolan tables are a dark brown I would call expresso. I love the end tables as well as the coffee table.

I recall it as Arabic, I don't buy anything else; but I don't have the can here; I empty the grounds and put them in a plastic container. I have to be honest that although I buy things from Amazon and value their reviews to purchase what makes me happy (I'm glad they are honest as it works out well and I cross compare lots of shopping on Amazon), this coffee is cheaper at Costco; if anyone can't afford a finer coffee and likes a lot of body and depth with something that works caffeine wise with no bad side effects, this is the best deal you will find. Some cans this size aren't full in other brands; this one is so the cost value is very high.
