Lavazza Super Crema is a whole bean coffee blend from an Italian roasting house, packaged in a single 2.2 pound bag. The beans are taken to a light to medium roast, giving a mild, creamy cup with aromatic notes of hazelnut and brown sugar. The recipe combines Arabica and Robusta beans in a 60/40 ratio, a balance built for espresso preparation and for the thick, compact crema that gives the blend its name. Because the beans arrive whole, grinding happens at home, which suits anyone working with an espresso machine and a grinder. The blend carries a natural sweetness that many drinkers find sits well without added sugar. Nothing but coffee is in the bag.
- Weight: 2.2 pound bag, pack of 1
- Roast level: light to medium
- Blend: 60% Arabica, 40% Robusta
- Format: whole bean, best suited to an espresso machine
When grinding for espresso, aim for a fine, consistent particle size and grind only what you plan to use in a single session. The 40 percent Robusta content plays a practical role here: Robusta beans are denser and harder than Arabica, which means the grinder has to work a little more, but the reward is a thicker, more stable crema in the cup. Once the bag is open, store the remaining beans in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid the freezer if you are opening the container regularly, since repeated temperature changes draw condensation into the beans. A cool, dark cabinet works better for daily use.
The 2.2 pound format lasts a solo drinker several weeks and a two-person household roughly two to three weeks, making it a practical size for regular home use without the beans going stale before the bag is finished. This blend suits someone who prefers a smooth, low-bitterness espresso as a standalone shot or as the base of a milk drink, where the mild profile holds up without becoming lost. If you are comparing whole bean espresso blends, the Arabica-Robusta ratio is worth checking, since an all-Arabica blend will typically produce a lighter crema and a more acidic cup than this one.
