Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Coffee 2.2 lb — Medium Espresso Roast, Creamy Crema

Lavazza Super Crema is a 2.2 lb whole-bean medium espresso roast that combines Arabica and Robusta beans for a full-bodied cup with a creamy crema and notes of hazelnut and brown sugar.

This blend is one of Lavazza’s most popular offerings, crafted from beans sourced across 15 coffee-growing countries to deliver reliable flavor and texture for home espresso machines, grinders, and moka pots. The medium roast profile balances sweetness and structure so shots pull with a smooth mouthfeel and persistent crema. Packaged in a resealable 2.2 lb bag, Super Crema is designed to keep whole beans fresher longer while giving enthusiasts the flexibility to grind to their preferred fineness.

How will Super Crema perform in my home espresso setup?

Super Crema is formulated to behave consistently under pressure, producing a rich, velvety crema and a balanced cup when dialed in with the right grind and extraction time. Its mix of Arabica and Robusta delivers sweetness from Arabica and body and crema from Robusta, which helps in short espresso shots and milk-based drinks.

• Use a medium-fine espresso grind for 25–30 second extractions on most machines.
• Pull 18–20 grams for a double shot to highlight hazelnut and brown sugar notes.
• Great for cappuccinos and lattes—Robusta adds structure under steamed milk.

What flavor and roast characteristics should I expect?

This blend sits at a medium roast level, meaning you’ll get pronounced sweetness and aromatic notes without heavy roast bitterness. Expect a full-bodied profile with noticeable hazelnut and brown sugar tones and a creamy texture that lingers after each sip.

• Medium roast brings balanced acidity and sweetness.
• Hazelnut and brown sugar are the dominant tasting notes.
• Robusta inclusion adds weight and a lasting crema.

How should I store and prepare the 2.2 lb bag to maintain freshness?

The resealable bag helps preserve whole-bean freshness, but because this is a larger 2.2 lb package, follow simple storage rules to keep flavor bright. Grind only what you need, reseal the bag after use, and store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat sources.

• Grind beans just before brewing for peak aroma.
• Use an airtight container if you plan to store for more than two weeks.
• Avoid refrigeration; room temperature storage in a dark place is best.

Is Super Crema suitable for other brew methods besides espresso?

While Super Crema is optimized for espresso, its medium roast and balanced profile can adapt to alternative brewing methods if you adjust grind and dose. Pour-over, drip, and Aeropress will reveal different aspects of the blend—more clarity and brightness with longer extractions.

• Use a coarser grind and longer extraction for pour-over clarity.
• Try Aeropress to emphasize sweetness and reduce bitterness.
• For drip machines, follow manufacturer dosing guidelines for consistency.

Who is this for: Lavazza Super Crema 2.2 lb whole-bean coffee is ideal for home baristas and coffee lovers who want a dependable espresso-blend with creamy crema and nutty-sweet flavor. It suits households that pull daily shots, make milk-based drinks, or prefer buying larger bags for value while still expecting café-style texture and balance.
