I am espresso aficionado and prefer regular. My wife drinks decaf and really likes the Lavazza espresso decaf. I occasionally drink th decaf and find it very flavorful. Having lived in Italy 5 years, I can say that Lavazza is a well regarded brand.
I have never liked decaf but I can't drink the real stuff at night or I will stay awake. Pleasantly surprised to truly enjoy this decaf in my Rivo. I don't feel deprived anymore. My husband and I look forward to our "fancy coffee" lattes in the evening using the Decaf pods. Love my RIVO!
