Lavazza Espresso —

Excellent drip and espresso drinks, I prefer a single or double espresso. If you want to compare coffees, you need to do it with the basics ... anyone can make a decent Mocha. I've shown the light and converted three pretty hard corps Intelligentsia fans. They also have a great Friday special, buy a bag of coffee or beans and get a free drink!

Checkout one of their following locations:

111 W Jackson Blvd, Chicago, IL

134 N La Salle St, Chicago, IL

125 S Prospect Ave, Elmhurst, IL

Yum... you're so right about LavAzza java. I have a friend who works for them in Barcelona but he's constantly jet setting between Italy, Portugal and Spain. I'm a little jealous.

Thank you the next time I am in the City I will have to check one of these locations out.

Would love to know more about those photos !

Lavazza became my new favorite after Starbuck's bought and closed Torre Fazione. I like Intellegensia, but I agree that Lavazza is better.

Bah, next to no one can make a decent mocha, damn it!

I've only tried Lavazza once and I did enjoy their espresso. I'll try putting them in the rotation and get back to you.
