Overview
Lavazza's Super Crema whole bean coffee is a 2.2 lb bag of medium roast arabica and robusta beans sourced from 15 growing countries, built specifically for espresso preparation rather than drip brewing. Packaging may vary by shipment.
The blend targets a full-bodied, creamy result meant for espresso machines rather than a general-purpose bean for drip or pour-over. The maker's own brewing guide calls for about 0.28 oz of ground espresso per 1 oz shot, which points to how specifically this blend is tuned for espresso extraction rather than casual brewing. It contains only coffee, made in facilities dedicated to coffee production.
- 2.2 lb whole bean bag
- Medium espresso roast
- Arabica and robusta blend
- 15 sourcing countries
Who it's for
Espresso machine owners who grind their own beans and want a medium roast blend built for crema rather than a drip coffee bean. Not the right pick for someone without a grinder or espresso setup, since it is sold as whole bean only.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Built specifically for espresso, with a stated brewing ratio
- Full-bodied, creamy result from the arabica-robusta blend
- Sourced from 15 coffee-growing countries
- Contains only coffee, no additives
- Whole bean only, requires a grinder

Performance notes
Blending arabica with robusta is a deliberate choice for espresso: robusta contributes to the crema layer on top of the shot, while arabica rounds out the flavor. The maker's brewing ratio, about 0.28 oz of grounds per 1 oz shot, reflects the fine, concentrated grind espresso needs versus a coarser drip grind.
