What is the difference going from Super Crema to Gran Crema?

I buy both of them and alternate my use mainly due to the price fluctuation. I can say that they are both excellent choices. Especially if you drink espresso because that's when you can really tell how good the coffee is. In its bare true form. On the Lavazza website the Gran Crema is described as this: "Creamy and bold, its full body makes Gran Crema Espresso ideal for a cappuccino or latte. This blend is made of South American Arabicas and Southeast Asian Robusta beans, distinguished for their rich, intense flavor and velvety crema." Someone made this comment comparing the two: "Just tried the Gran Crema beans in an espresso show. And it's crema is as good as the Super Crema bean. It's taste is milder than the super, but still a full-bodied one. It coats the sides of my tongue and finished clean; it doesn't hang on the tongue. The Super Crema coats my tongue down the middle from the back to the tip and stays on my tongue for a second or two. But that's a good thing." You really can't go wrong with either one. I have to say, having a proper machine makes a huge difference in how you can extract the full flavor and Crema from your coffee. It's all about the pressure, isn't it? My German Miele coffee machine is amazing but I have had the same blend of Lavazza in Italy made by professional machines at coffee bars, and the taste is unparalleled! Having said that, you can brew any of these two blends in a good old Bialetti Moka Express, which is what the majority of citizens of Italy use, and it will be excellent still. I hope this helps.

It's Nescafe Classic like the picture. I don't know why Nescafe has two products, quite different, with almost the same name; the one Amazon is selling (in the photo) is the more expensive product that tastes a lot better than Classico.

They are two different models. The two wheels in front (the cheaper model) has has small hard wheels front and back, which is good if most of your pushing is going to be done on hard surfaces that are even - concrete, bitumen, etc. The single wheel at the front is the mini GT. It's more expensive and has the air-filled tyres and wheel suspension, which allows a bit more of a comfortable ride for bubba on uneven surfaces such as boardwalks, dirt, grass, etc.

I have used both. The impact is the same but the red lid seems to be newer.

The superfine is what was used in a class I took in Italy by Chefs; however, I do not know. I am using it for pasta

I'm not sure of the differences. I have always used this one and it works well for me. Lots of energy and keeps me my sweet cravings at bay.

I have both. The magnum is faster. Period. But the Cole and Mason is much easier to set the grind size. In fact, with the magnum, it takes a lot of guesswork. I use the magnum for cooking. The Cole and Mason for the table.

I've got three of these in 3 different locations and they all produce good crema. By good I mean about 1/4 thick. The amount of crema is affected by the type of coffee and amount of water. I use only Baronet and Melitta because that's what I like. Try reducing the amount of water to 5 or 8 ounces. If it doesn't produce crema to your satisfaction look under the outflow where the liquid coffee comes out and there is a little screen filter, slide it forward with your finger. Clean it under running water and put it back. If that doesn't work I would call Suncana at (855) 786-2262.

The answer is a very sad "No." I liked the coffee for our old machine, Gran Crema, in pods better than the Nespresso offerings. Tried to recapture them with their capsules but they are too big and the wrong shape for our Nespresso machine...Carolyn

S.S.--I have much better results with Expresso powder vs Expresso ground coffee. The powder is formed from a water based distilling process and not simply finely ground Expresso beans. The texture & taste is smooth, subtle & delicous in confections, mousse, frostings, ice cream, etc. The powder is more expensive but the results are worth it. J.B.

Can't compare, because I haven't had both, but my Delonghi model consistently produces good coffee. It's stronger than brewed/poured-over coffee but not as bitter as espresso. So far, I'm very pleased with my electric model.

Funny, 6 of the answer posted are basically "I don't know" and one is off topic. Why bother answering if you don't know? The restaurant one is 4 inches wide and the classic is a bit over 5 inches, so larger. That's the difference. They both grate cheese in fine mode so very good for hard cheeses.

It will make a smooth, flavorable cup of regular coffee. Just grind the beans for a drip coffee machine. The Super Crema Espresso Beans are an Italian roast (medium) rather than a dark roast that is sometimes bitter. Some mornings when time is tight, I make a pot of regular coffee and steam milk for cafe au lait.

That is precisely what you'll get here. I used to buy cinnamon in my local stores, but was lucky to get this instead. The taste is milder and far superior. I prepare espresso with half and half and sprinkle this cinnamon on top of crema every morning.

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

I'm not sure I know what the difference is. To me it looks just like a Dutch Oven and that is how we are using it. Not sure if this helps. We have used it on top of the stove and in the oven. We have been very happy with out purchase.

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...
