Flavor Profile and Aroma

The flavour profile of Lavazza Espresso Italiano is characterised by a beautiful balance between intensity and smoothness. The coffee is medium roasted, resulting in a rich, full body and a velvety smooth finish. In the aroma, you’ll notice subtle hints of chocolate and light floral notes, which together create a deep and inviting espresso character. The espresso has a mild acidity and a slight, pleasant bitterness, making it perfect for both pure espresso and as a base for cappuccinos and other coffee specialities.

Usage and Brewing Advice

Lavazza Espresso Italiano is best enjoyed when freshly ground just before use. For a traditional Italian espresso, follow these steps:

• Use approximately 7-9 grams of freshly ground Lavazza espresso beans per cup.
• Prepare the espresso with an espresso machine for optimal extraction and crema.
• Pay attention to the extraction time: a perfect espresso takes about 25 to 30 seconds.
• Suitable for moka pot, fully automatic machines, and French press: adjust the grind size accordingly for the desired result.
• Briefly flush the machine’s brew group before and after use for the best flavour experience.

Packaging and Contents

Lavazza Espresso Italiano is supplied in kilogram bags of whole beans. This packaging is designed to preserve the freshness and characteristic aroma of the espresso coffee for longer. The sturdy foil and valve protect against light, air, and moisture. Clear information about the weight, coffee bean type, and recommended best before date is printed on the packaging.

Storage Advice

To keep Lavazza Espresso Italiano as fresh as possible for longer, here are some practical tips for home use:

• Always store the coffee beans in a well-sealed, airtight container or storage tin.
• Keep the coffee in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odours.
• Avoid storing coffee in the fridge; temperature fluctuations can negatively affect the beans.
• Grind only the amount of coffee you plan to use immediately to enjoy the full espresso flavour profile.
• Optionally, use a separate coffee reservoir for daily use, so the original packaging remains sealed longer.
