Vittoria Espresso

I'm extremely disappointed with this product! It was my go-to ground coffee for a number of years but then it became too expensive for me to buy. When a friend bought me a surprise packet for Christmas, I was delighted. I opened the packet and have been using it while trying to enjoy it. I shall be getting rid of it because it has lost so much of… Read more

the beautiful essence of the coffee I used to enjoy each morning. I am even more disappointed knowing that this is an Australian brand ~ shame, shame, shame!

I've tried many coffees in my lifetime but Vittoria coffee is by far the worse coffee in the market. I find it difficult to comprehend who buys this low quality coffee, and it is even more difficult to understand how they still manage to exist in the coffee market given the offensive flavour of Vittoria coffee. No wonder why every supermarket in the country has Vittoria coffee either on sale or heavily discounted. Show details

Get the beans and enjoy – Iv had one bag of ground beans, that were possibly old stoke, not great. That’s the only reason I didn’t give 5 starts. However But the beans, honestly pretty smooth. I mean incredibly smooth. I will only grind fresh from the bag. Because wow totally different taste and texture in my opinion. Let’s be honest, sometimes you get coffee from… Read more

places that have had it sit for longer than you should. Therefore flavor changes.

Get beans, check the date, bam presto amazingly smooth coffee.

My default home espresso beans – We try some of our local Melbourne roasters from time to time in 250g bags, some hit some Miss, but every time I see the vittoria espresso beans in the supermarket on special I buy a kg bag. Don’t understand some of these reviews - it might not be unique flowery or wine-y tasting odd beans here, but it actually tastes like coffee should, a little… Read more

bitter, sweet, powerful and perfect for my mornings at least. Maybe it’s it Italian in me, but this is the bar, coffee flavoured coffee.

Just came to check out some reviews for some other stuff to try and felt I had to give solid shout out to my old faithful beans! Enjoy..

coffee – Wont drink anything else,Moccona .any instant coffee is disgusting,every time I have instant coffee I regret doing it. Vittoria coffee has that authenticate taste and nothing else can compare.Any brought coffee from outlets,example Mc Donald's taste the same.

Not a Fan – It's a no from me. Very difficult to extract well, and the end product manages to taste both burnt AND... bland(?) at once. Don't waste time with this brand. Do some tastings and discover one of your wonderful local roasters instead. Show details

Terrible – Purchased 1 kg pack of espresso ground coffee, coffee smelled burned and when I made it for my guests they all commented that it tasted burned. It was not made with boiling water. I wrote to Vittoria via email on their website and asked them for advice, they didn’t bother replying. What a waste of money and time. Show details

Terrible beans – Terrible beans for espresso machines can’t get the extraction right no matter what setting it’s on, the flow is just to fast.Don’t waste your money on these beans you will regret it. Tastes like [Content Removed]. Show details

Atrocious Coffee ☕. Very disappointed in both Costco & Woolies for selling rubbish coffee such as Coffex, Vittoria & Lavazza. Don't pay $60 for rubbish coffee called Vittoria, I recently discovered 2 awesome coffee ☕ beans you can buy from cherry beans cafe in Carnes Hill & Three stores coffee from the Coffee ☕ club in the Westfield Liverpool.… Read more

The coffee club sells an awesome fresh coffee for $40 a kilo & Cherry beans cafe in Carnes Hill sells another good coffee ☕ for $45 a kilo. You do get what you pay for.

Vittoria is Inferior Coffee – After trying both the Vittoria Mountain Grown 1 kg and the Vittoria Organic 1kg coffee blends I have been left with a bad taste, literally. Neither of these blends extracted properly through my espresso machine, they both run way too fast even on the highest grind setting and have a very bitter taste. After explaining this to Vittoria's customer… Read more

service I was asked to send pictures of the coffee including batch numbers. Weeks went by until they finally got back to me and said (with no surprise) that here was nothing wrong with the batches but they would replace one of the bags for free. After supplying my address twice the replacement bag was never received, this was just an extension of the inferior experience I have had with Vittoria. I now give Vittoria Coffee a wide berth, this coffee is B grade at best.

Don't believe the hype – I bought the Victtoria Italian 100% Arabica instant freeze dried today, I was so excited to taste it because of the hype around this coffee and the constant barrage of commercials and thought ill give it a go, what a big disappointment, I was totally let down I drink coffee like I drink water 6/7 cups a day but I won't be drinking this coffee again. Show details

No good for espresso, over extracts – Awful beans for espresso machines. Cannot get a good extraction at all even going right down to the finest setting on the grinder. Coffee has unpleasant taste due to overextraction. This is only good for French press or moka pot.

Can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear – Despite buying severall bags and trying all sort of grind size I can't get a good coffee or creme with these beans. Agreed with other reviewers the beans should be avoided in espresso machines. Will not try again after wasting another $25 on inferior beans. Show details

average product – Delight Baristas, delicious coffee, fast service & a stunning ambient coffee lounge. The new space is stunning, it’s so spacious, really clean and inviting. There was a good buzz when I went there on a Sunday afternoon without being too busy. The barista that served me was so friendly and made my day with the small bit of chitchat. The coffee is good and it came out really quickly. I was throughly impressed.

Agree with most others that these beans are not suitable for espresso – My experience is the same as many others: you can't get good extraction with these beans, no matter what the grind, whether using a single shot or double shot, or tamping harder. Perhaps they are really just suitable for pour over coffee (but I haven't tried that) or using a pressurised filter basket (which I don't have and which produces inferior shots anyway).

Very good strong coffee – Really like this coffee, l like strong coffee and this delivers. It has very good depth of flavour and it's well balanced too. The initial extraction is a very dark rich colour, which speaks for it's strength. People on here giving it a bad review saying it's rubbish because it's weak and watery because they can't get a good extraction is… Read more

ridiculous. Obviously you're grind isn't fine enough and or tampering is incorrect. If you are using the finest grind on you're grinder and it's still running too quickly, get a better grinder. These beans require a fine grind and obviously need to be tampered correctly to get a good extraction. I use a Breville Smart grinder pro, a cheap grinder and it does it well. Also those that have a gripe with their order or the company etc and give it one or two stars shouldn't be posting in here. This review is about the beans not the company.

Terrible customer service, bad all around company. Stay away – They will immediately stop responding to you if you request a cancellation or refund. I've had 3 emails now, sent on various days over the last week, all have gone unanswered and unresponded to. Just be careful.

Will you like this? Depends on your expectations – I want to start off by saying that we used Vittoria for years prior to purchasing a pod coffee machine. Recently our pod machine gave up the ghost, and we upgraded to a much more fancy machine that grinds it own beans and has a milk frothing attachment. Living as we do in the inner North of Melbourne, we started buying whole beans from various… Read more

suppliers around the local area, to see if we could find a new favourite.

One Saturday afternoon we found ourselves without coffee beans, and with all the boutique roasters closed, we headed to the IGA and found Vittoria on sale for $22 per kilo, which is a significant saving on the $45-65 per kilo that we'd been paying for beans from small roasters using fair-trade beans with provenance.

There was also a difference in the crema (thinner, and fast-disappearing) and the flavour. The Vittoria beans are not terrible, not by a long shot, but there's something lacking in the body, and the "presence", if you will, compared to the fancy boutique beans.

Living in inner Melbourne has spoiled us as far as coffee is concerned. What was once our staple is now stored in the freezer, lest we ever face the horror of running out of beans again. We're happy to have them in the house to save us from a tight spot, but once you've discovered the products sold by small roasters, you realise that Vittoria is just not up to scratch for daily drinking.

Waited 1 months for delivery – Waiting for my delivery of 2 bags of coffee beans. Waited up to 4 weeks for delivery. Coffee beans probably not as fresh on delivery. Contacted supplier and sent out another batch of bags. Show details

Strong with the right machine. Great creaming. Very dark. But not to my taste – We've gone through 2 bags of Vittora Espresso on a Delonghi upper mid range coffee machine ($1700). The beans smell divine. Unfortunately that doesn't translate to a particularly nice coffee, espresso, latte, cappacino. I'm using a fine grind (about 1.5 in range of 1-7). I don't know where people are claiming of watery coffee. Maybe its the… Read more

machine, or settings. We customise our coffees including water temp, water quantity, milk quantity. It's strong but maybe not fully bodied. It reminds me of a middle eastern black coffee powder (extreme roasting). Indeed, when I make a black coffee, the cream disappears after a couple minutes and the colour (using a glass double walled cup) is almost black.

Was going Crazy... tried every single setting. Faulty beanz – Legit the worst coffeee ever, no matter what grind setting I put it on its runs through like water. Tried multiple machines including a commercial machine, unfortunately these beanz are sickening and extremely low quality.  Show details

Phew!! – Sorry to say I’m so happy that almost everyone else is having the same problem. I’m using a Breville barista pro , and I was using Lavazza beans which produce a perfect extraction for my liking. But the second I switched to Vittoria beans ( only because they were on special ) the extraction was horrible, weak and watery no matter what grind setting I tried. I urge anybody with the same machine to stay away from Vittoria beans. They suck !  Show details
