Lavazza Crema e Gusto Ground Coffee, 4 x 8.8 oz Bricks — Medium Roast, Full-Bodied Chocolate Notes

Lavazza Crema e Gusto is a medium-roast ground coffee blend of Brazilian Arabica and African/Indonesian Robusta that delivers a full-bodied, chocolate-tinged espresso experience.

Rooted in over a century of Italian coffee craftsmanship, this set of four 8.8 oz bricks brings Lavazza's signature Crema e Gusto profile to home brewing. The blend pairs South American Arabicas with Robustas from Africa and Southeast Asia to produce a rich aroma, a dense crema when prepared as espresso, and underlying cocoa and spice notes. It’s suited to a range of brew methods, from moka pot and espresso machines to drip and French press, making it a versatile choice for daily coffee rituals.

What flavor and roast level can I expect from Crema e Gusto?

Crema e Gusto is positioned as a medium roast with a hearty character — not as light and acidic as a city roast, nor as smoky as a dark roast. The Arabica beans contribute sweetness and nuanced aroma while Robusta adds body and crema, producing a balanced cup with chocolate and spice hints.

• Roast profile: medium, with a 7/10 intensity feel.
• Tasting highlights: cocoa, light spice, and toasted notes.
• Body: full and robust, suitable for espresso-style extraction.
• Caffeine: naturally caffeinated blend due to Robusta content.

How should I brew Lavazza Crema e Gusto for the best results?

This ground coffee is ground to suit several home machines; the recommended methods are espresso machines and moka pots for the classic Italian result. It also performs well in drip coffeemakers and French presses if you adjust grind and extraction time appropriately.

• Espresso/moka pot: compact puck, 20–30 seconds extraction for espresso; short stovetop brew for moka.
• Drip: use a medium grind setting and a 1:15–1:18 coffee-to-water ratio.
• French press: coarse grind and a 4-minute steep for balanced body.
• Storage tip: keep unopened bricks in a cool, dry place; transfer to an airtight container after opening.

What’s inside each pack and how is it sourced?

Each purchase contains four vacuum-sealed 8.8 oz bricks of pre-ground Crema e Gusto. Lavazza combines Brazilian Arabica beans with Robusta from Africa and Indonesia, selecting origins to build the blend’s aroma, crema, and structure while relying on long-standing sourcing relationships.

Who is this for?
