Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Espresso Roast, Arabica and Robusta Blend, 2.2 lb Bag, Package May Vary (Pack of 1)

This Lavazza Super Crema coffee arrives fresh and maintains excellent flavor. The medium espresso roast provides a smooth, rich blend of Arabica and Robusta beans that produces a perfect cup every time. The beans are never expired on arrival, which is a significant plus for a subscription product. At this price point, it offers exceptional quality and consistency that I can rely on month after month.

I tend to buy local and fresh and local but thought i'd give this a try as it is well known for a quality espresso shot. I was not disappointed, it lives up to it's name and produces a nice head of crema and it produces excellent espresso, bold but not oily which is perfect for semi-automatic machines. My Rancillio Silvia is manual but I don't plug my Ranciallio Rocky grinder by sticking with beans compatible with semi-automatic. When I come across others that appear to oily, I run them through my burr coffee grinder instead and make drip coffee instead. I normally opt for local coffee shop beans but they have been out recently of the origins I prefer so thought i'd try something different. I wasn't disappointed after a month of espresso pulls so would recommend this product and the price is right.

I picked up this big 2.2 lb bag of Lavazza Super Crema because I wanted a reliable everyday coffee that could do double duty in my espresso machine and drip brewer. Right out of the bag, the beans have a nice medium roast aroma—not too strong, not too mild. The blend of Arabica and Robusta gives it a classic Italian espresso vibe with a little bit of body and sweetness, without getting too bitter or intense. Brewing it as an espresso, I got a smooth shot with a decent crema that holds up well under milk drinks like lattes or cappuccinos. And when I switched to a pour-over or drip setup, it still tasted pleasant—balanced and easy to drink with subtle notes (a hint of chocolate/nuts if you pay attention). Some folks say medium roasts like this don’t wow specialty coffee fans, but for the price and bag size, this one’s been really good everyday coffee for home use. ✨ Highlights: Big, budget-friendly bag — great if you drink coffee daily. Medium roast that’s versatile for espresso or regular brew. Smooth and balanced—easy to drink black or with milk. 👍 Good for: Daily use, espresso lovers who don’t want something too bold, households that go through beans fast. ☕ Personal takeaway: It’s not the most complex coffee ever, but it gets the job done with a pleasant flavor and rich aroma. A solid pick if you want dependable, Italian-style espresso beans without breaking the bank

Update (+2 Stars): After a few days of the coffee airing out in my grinder and also changing my grind from medium to coarse (highest setting on my OXO Grinder), the coffee seems to taste significantly better when brewed and the unpleasant smell has dissipated. I'm increasing my rating of the coffee for this reason, as it actually is good enough to be a daily drink for me at this point, but I still don't believe the price is worth it as you can purchase from a local roaster or have a higher quality coffee subscription for around this price, so I likely won't be buying it again unless it goes down closer to $9/pound. That said, I'm definitely glad now that I'll be able to enjoy it in the meantime. Original Review: I tried this coffee this morning, as I didn't want to keep paying the high price for the coffee I normally bought from a local roaster, but honestly it's regrettably not that great. I wish that I had read the description better to see that it was 40% robusta coffee beans, because it is definitely lacking 40% of the flavor that I'd rather it have, and while I do feel a big caffiene punch from it, that's about it. It's oddly weak-tasting, even when brewed strong. It's a little tiny bit chocolatey/hazelnutty like the description says, and it's very fruity, but two qualities in coffee I don't care much for are excessive (unbalanced) fruitiness or acidity. This one does pass the acidity aspect (it's a bit more on the bitter side, but pleasantly bitter if that makes sense), but yeah, it's definitely not a coffee I'd serve anyone. I don't have an espresso machine, so I just tried this as pour-over coffee in a V90, but it ain't good and I'm not buying it again. It may be good for cold brew or espresso -- it DOES taste like cold brew I've gotten at a coffee shop before -- but not for pour-over coffee. Also, some people say that they LOVED the smell of this coffee as soon as they opened the bag, but I had the exact opposite experience. It smells like that overwhelming almost burnt smell that you smell in some coffee shops (the ones that serve cold brew and have a sealed concreet floor). IF that is the kind of coffee you like, more power to you!! This probably is a roast that will satisfy people who prefer robusta beans or just want the hit of caffeine, but it just isn't mine. Positives: - Bitter but not TOO bitter -- much better than coffee which is overly acidic - Was roasted recently (September 2024 -- bought in December 2024) - The flavors they say will be there -- hazelnut, chocolate, and fruit -- are indeed there Negatives: - It tastes very weak, even when brewed strong - The fruitiness flavor is very dominant -- it's not well-balanced in this aspect - Smells like the smell I can't stand in most coffee shops - 40% robusta beans and yet priced like 100% arabica coffee blends

I’ve tried a lot of coffees over the years. I used to switch it up about every three months, always looking for something better. Then I found Lavazza Super Crema and I stopped searching. I knew almost immediately this one was different. And now, I’ve been using it consistently for over a year. That alone says everything. This is the only coffee I drink. Every day, without exception, I make at least one espresso and turn it into my Cuban coffee. It’s part of my morning rhythm. Out of all the coffees I’ve tried, this is still the best I’ve had to date. What stands out most is how creamy and smooth it is. It pulls a thick, beautiful crema and makes an espresso that’s rich and balanced and its not bitter, not harsh, just clean and satisfying. It also works extremely well with the Breville Barista Pro, which is the machine I own. The grind and extraction are consistent, and the results are reliable every single morning. When something becomes part of your daily ritual, it has to earn that place. This one did. If you drink espresso daily, love Cuban-style coffee, or want a dependable whole bean that performs on a home espresso machine, Lavazza Super Crema is absolutely worth it. Over a year later, it’s still my standard.

Extremely expensive beans, but very good quality

Packaging poco curato e appartenendo ad una spedizione multipla, praticamente era priva qualsiasi protezione. Il prodotto in se, credo sia una dei migliori caffè mai assaggiati, essendo un consumatore che predilige la cremosità, l'intensità, persistenza e corpo, posso dire che questo caffè rappresenta quel che a mio parere è il perfetto bilanciamento tra le varie caratteristiche. Anzitutto è di una cremosità a dir poco sorprendente ma soprattutto persistente, non è il classico caffè che lasciato per un 1 minuto perde completamente la crema. Il corpo è ben deciso presentando diverse sfumature tra le note di testa, di corpo e di fondo, persistenza ottima lascia quell'ottimo gusto di caffè in bocca anche per 1/2 ora, poco acido quindi per alcuni potrà risultare "poco forte" ma lo stomaco risulta ringrazia ed inoltre decisamente il consumatore che riscontrerà tale mancanza risulterà poco coerente con la scelta in sè in quanto è precisamente scritto "con note di nocciola e zucchero di canna". Insomma non è il prodotto giusto per chi è in cerca di acidità. A fronte del prezzo richiesto 17€/kg e della qualità offerta è sicuramente un BEST BUY! Super consigliato!

High quality product for high price

This is beautiful coffee, perhaps the best crema-type coffee I have tasted. It is full-bodied and very smooth crema coffee. I make my coffee in a Moka pot, and I have had 2 cups of this coffee today. What more can I say?
