What is the difference between "in Blu" and the "Lavazza Caffe Espresso" in the black can?

The in Blue has a better taste and when we tried the Caffe Espresso it did not work as well in our Espresso Machine. Both are good but we liked the taste of the in Blue better.

In Blu is a much finer grind (like powdered sugar) than Caffe Espresso (like typical sugar crystals). It is so fine that my DeLonghi EC155 espresso maker can barely push the water through it if I tamp the In Blu like I did the Caffee Espresso. I have to just smooth the In Blu ground coffee barely pressing it into the portafilter with my measuring scoop. Blu has a sweeter flavor, but less body and less crema than I got with the black can Caffee Espresso. I used a hand-held tamper with Caffee Espresso.

The milk is in liquid form, in a separate t-disk. So for instance, if you order cafe latte, you get espresso disks + creamer disks. It's a 2-step process - you run the milk disc first, then insert the espresso disk and run that. It mixes together in the cup, and is actually quite good.

Just stay away from the usual American blends and you'll be fine. I usually use Lavazza Roma or Prima Gusto but I heard Illy is even better. Lavazza Roma is a bit less intense compared to Gusto but its upto your taste requirements.

It's dark espresso. Put it beside black, and you can see the difference. Stick it into a relatively dark space in a room, and it may look black.

A latte is coffee, with milk ("latte" is "milk" in Italian). It's called "cafe au lait" in French (again, coffee-with-milk). Some coffee shops will distinguish between the two, based on the differences in French and Italian preferences for how much milk, how hot the milk is, how foamy the milk is, etc.A cappuccino is more or less the same thing, but it's presented with a layer of foamed milk on top. Some say that the foamed milk resembles the hood of a Capuchin monk

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

Hi Pam, The difference that I know of is the holding tank at the back of the coffee maker. The BXB has a round silver tank and the GRB has a more square look. Both are offered in Black and White. Both makers do pretty much the same thing in the same amount of time. We chose the BXB just because i liked the way it looked compared to the other. If you choose one, I can honestly say you won't be disappointed..Hope this helped...

The latte macchiato has a very distinct 2 layer drink. it is also less 'milky' in taste. the cappucino uses more milk. At the end of the day, it does not differ much.

I'm shopping for a single-serve cofee maker, and am looking at the Tassimo just because Starbucks came out with T-Discs. I tried the regular ground Cafe Verona from Starbucks, and it is my favorite. It's dark roast but not as strong as Italian-roast espresso--which is normally my gold standard, but I liked the Verona better for straight coffee.

The color is Espresso. It's really more brown than black. I hope I have answered your question.

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.

espresso is coffee only whereas a cappuccino has frothed milk in it. A more complete definition is...Espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods, has a higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids, and has crema on top (literally cream, a creamy foam on the surface of the coffee). As a result of the pressurized brewing process the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of espresso are very concentrated. Espresso is the base for other drinks, such as a caff latte, cappuccino, caff macchiato, cafe mocha, or caff Americano. Espresso has more caffeine per unit volume than most beverages, but the usual serving size is smaller-a typical 60 mL (2 US fluid ounces) of espresso has 80 to 150 mg of caffeine, a little less than the 95 to 200 mg of a standard 240 mL (8 US fluid ounces) cup of drip-brewed coffee.[

The espresso finish is more black looking. The counter top is slightly green.

No that pod is way smaller I have had both and the taste of the coffee is similar but then espresso has to have that pod.

I guess everyone may have different tastes, but one coffee I always comeback to is Caffe Vita - Luna blend. It's based in Seattle and Amazon do carry them(not Prime, though). You won't be disappointed.

They are the same unit. Keurig renamed all its models, changing the B to a K.

Guess it depends on your taste. I believe black and espresso go well together. Good luck!
