Lidl Italiamo Coffee Beans

Espresso Magnifico is part of the Italian products promoted by Lidl, the German grocery store chain.

The aroma of the ground beans is extremely chocolatey and naturally sweet.

Many of the classic Robusta elements are there – flowers, earth, and vanilla.

Spoiled by Lidl? Tesco blows my mind – Beans.

Anyway, dark chocolate is the key spec. you get the impression that this will be an extremely full-flavored blend.

Bellarom Bio Organic 100% Arabica

The bouquet was highly similar. It was sweet, with a bit of a hint of vanilla in the background.

Pleasant enough, but nothing extraordinary.

There were no apparent nuances to speak of, just your regular grocery store Arabica smell.

The mixture tasted a lot drier than guessed, somewhat bitter, and acidic even—nothing to write home about, indeed.

Italiamo Caffè Tradizionale 100% Arabica

This mixture is blended for Lidl in Italy.

While the firm does not provide any additional information about its origin, you can tell Caffee Tradizionale is different from the blends under the Bellarom brand name.

As you open the bag, you are welcomed by the familiar aroma of the Italian express blend, bitter, dark chocolate, some almonds, even an amaretto-like aroma in the background. Very perfect.

The bouquet feels pretty much the same. Just the dark chocolate has turned into milk chocolate by now.

The flavor is much more uniform than in Crema, yet not perfectly full by any means. Cafe Tradiozionale is a medium blend, both in strength and body.

It is not too sweet, but not too bitter either. You get a perfect taste of milk, almonds, and chocolate.

Caffè Tradizionale does what you guess from it. It may not be top-notch artisan coffee, but a rightly enjoyable Italian medium espresso, right up there with your Lavazzas of Segafredos.

Just the price is affordable.
