I usually get the purple bag with gold lines, "Super Crema" is what's called. It's a medium roast, flavor seems pretty well balanced with the all crema that comes out, hence the name. There's another purple bag but with red lines called Gran Espresso. Has a little stronger espresso taste compared to the Super Crema which Is pretty good if you're after the espresso taste.
I know what you talking about, their regular Espresso black bag. It's alright, seems to be lacking something.
I also like illy medium roast and dark roast whole beans as well.
