Café Aurora Italian Style

Bought the instant version of this. It's gross. One cup was too much, couldn't finish it. Too embarrassed even to give the remains away and inflict on anyone else. Sort of instant coffee you might have expected 50 years ago.

This is honestly the best coffee I ever had. Trust me it's really good.

I bought this Aurora ground coffee from Woolworths. I've brewed with cafeteria Moka pot. Taste is terrible.. I couldn't finish the mug. Don't even try and torture yourself.

Pungent smell, literally zero crema. Totally stale, brewed this with a Breville bes920bss. This should be taken off the shelf. If you are looking for a low cost but decent taste coffee then go for the Harris Dark Roast instead.

I've travelled the world. Drank coffee filtered through socks. This coffee is bitter and a total waste of money, even when blended with good coffee they turn horrendous. Never again.

I'm using Breville for machine. Since I change to this beans, I can't see any crema, terrible smell all the time. I'm trying to fix it by adjusting everything I could but I end up using
all beans(1kg) and still can't see any change. Just bought this a week ago. I wish I could get back money for this,

Mi local coffeeshop, Rockdale, Bar Fresko, changed from vittoria Nero to this poison called aurora.
I was unpleasantly blasted to a bitter, tasteless brew. Unsinkable,
Shame how coffee shops are bought by people from non coffee culture and do not bother to learn about the products and services they commit to provide
Little do they understand how much it is linked to the success of the business they paid good money for.
I’m sure they changed coffee based on price, looking to save $5 or kilo or about 3cents per cup, ignoring how good coffee get additional consumption.
Namaste and good luck! Since that’s all you have going for you.

Bought this at Coles because we were in a pinch. It was undrinkable, awful in flavour, tasted burnt and watery and the beans smelt odd. Doesn't mirror Italian coffee in the slightest, wouldn't recommend.

Bean variety and product information/origin lacking. A caution to start with. Muddy taste and low price doesn't compensate for a poor product. Roast is not enough and longer roasting would probably not have enhanced the flavour of poor beans.
If you like coffee this isn't it.

After usually only buying Lavazza or Vittoria Coffee beans I thought I would try one of the less expensive beans & was surprised to find these tasted pretty darn good.

When I first opened the Caffe Aurora Italian Blend beans they had a slight burnt smell & I thought NO this is going to taste terrible but surprisingly once they put through the espresso machine there was no sign of a burnt taste & in fact the end result was pretty close to Lavazza & Vittoria.
Excellent value & created a surprisingly good crema.

I bought 3 boxes of Caffe Aurora as they were on sale and claimed to be Nespresso coffee machine compatible. I have tried capsules from each box- Prima Qualita, Espresso and Italian but the capsule would not pierce in the machine and water leaked everywhere. Disappointed.

The 1kg bag of coffee beans regularly comes on special for around $10. The coffee beans are not overly roasted and therefore not bitter. When correctly grounded, they produce a good quality and flavoursome espresso crema.

Bought Caffe Aurora a while ago as 'emergency coffee'. It sounds tempting at the incredibly low price - do not be fooled - it is cheap for a reason. Caffe Aurora is the most disgusting coffee I have ever tasted and mine has gone where it belongs - the bin. Don't waste your money, even Lavazza or Vittoria is better. But seriously coffee should be treated like fine wine, go and fork out and buy coffee from Padre, Seven Seeds or any number of other specialty coffee roasters we are lucky to have in Melbourne.

I have been buying this on occasion for a while and its fairly hit and miss in a french press, this time when used in a steam process it has a disturbing chemical or pesticide smell that has put me off it.

Not sure if its just this batch that was on sale (batch number 4343126). I cant find a use by date...

I drink a lot of coffee and this has to be the best value ground coffee out there! Sure there are some that may taste a little better but cost much more.

Truly awful coffee. No wonder it's so cheap. Blurrggg. Save you money and put it towards a better quality coffee.

This is the best tasting coffee from a vacuum bag. I brew it in a plunger and goes down much better than instant.

This week Aldi in Broadway 2037 are selling Aurora ground coffee in 1KG bricks for $9.99 each. Bought 2 kilos to indulge in plunger coffee 4 times daily, makes it very affordable. Its heaven on earth if you add a drop of full cream, and/or teaspoon of brandy, vanilla or hazelnut syrup. Remember to decanter the brick and store in air-tight container, or store opened brick in freezer. Cheers!
