My brother-in-law made me a coffee snob. So, he surprised me with this Lavazza Espresso. I honestly thought it would taste like "Welcome Centre" coffee, but it was not bad. Sweet, oily, and quite easy to enjoy. But, it's just one of those things where I would only buy it if there were not many other choices.

Pointless fun fact with name drop, cause I am the main character right now, the cappuccino cup I am using came as a set, that was a gift from retired NBA player Danillo Gallinari. They were two, one fell and broke when I was in Texas. I have it in a box and will super glue it together some day. Also included were two espresso cups that I've never used.

My wife had parosmia for more than a year after anosmia from covid and she had the same issue with coffee. At the beginning she asked me if I'd started adding garlic to our espressos... 😅 I never did try Lavazza with her, unfortunately.

But just a small correction: anosmia is when you lose your sense of smell. Parosmia is when your sense of smell is distorted. But I think "paranosmia" would be when you can smell ghosts and wear-wolves! 🙃😜

    That's what I had. It was creepy.

    It's actually a term from a game I'm working on, and my phone decided to autocorrect for me. How helpful...

    Honestly, I would have preferred garlic than rotten fruit lol! But yeah, it sucked.
