Lavazza Caffè Crema Gustoso box discount

Lavazza Caffè Crema Gustoso is a full-bodied bean blend for people who like a powerful, creamy caffè crema. It rates 9 out of 13 on our strength scale, so it belongs with the stronger coffees.

What's in the blend

Arabica beans give aroma and nuance; Robusta adds body, strength and a fine crema. The medium roast keeps plenty of flavour in the cup without going too dark or sharp. Together they make a solid coffee with plenty of character.

How it tastes

Spicy notes and a pleasant hazelnut-like finish, with a rich mouthfeel and a hint of chocolate. The crema is amber-coloured and holds for a long time.

Made for bean-to-cup machines

Crema Gustoso performs especially well in fully automatic (bean-to-cup) machines, where it makes a full caffè crema with a creamy texture. A caffè crema is a longer black coffee with crema on top, and this blend has the body to carry that extra volume. The robust flavour also stands up to milk, so it works well in:

• cappuccino
• caffè latte
• latte macchiato

As an espresso or filter coffee it gives a powerful, aromatic cup. Adjust the grinder to the drink: fine for espresso and caffè crema, coarser for a filter machine.

Gustoso or Cremoso?

Next to Espresso Cremoso, Caffè Crema Gustoso is stronger and spicier, with more body and a nuttier finish. Pick Gustoso if you want character; Cremoso is the softer of the two.
