The best before date is printed on the pack of the Lavazza Crema e Aroma coffee beans. Because our stock keeps rotating, that date differs from one delivery to the next, so we cannot name a fixed date on this page.

Would you like to know the date before you order? Send us the types of coffee you want via our contact form and we will check the warehouse and tell you the best before dates that are ready to ship that day.

Store your beans cool, dry and dark in the resealable bag to keep them at their best. Once opened, coffee beans taste best within a few weeks.

The DVA water softener runs on a supply pressure of at least 1 bar and no more than 8 bar. That range applies to the 12 litre version as well as to the 5 and 8 litre versions, since they share the same housing and the same 3/8" BSP connections.

Most household and hospitality mains supplies sit comfortably within that window. If your mains pressure is higher than 8 bar, fit a pressure reducer ahead of the softener, otherwise you risk damaging the housing and the seals. Before first use, flush the unit with plenty of water (10 litres or more) until the water leaving the filter runs clear. After that, regenerate the resin with salt once you reach the throughput stated in the manual.

Many people ask if coffee beans are already too old after three weeks. The answer to that is: no. Freshly roasted coffee actually reaches its best flavour after a few weeks. During roasting, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is created inside the coffee beans, which can mask the taste at first. That is why coffee is at its best between one and four weeks after roasting.

After roasting, the beans are immediately packed in special coffee bags with a one-way valve. This valve allows CO₂ to escape without letting oxygen in, so the aromas are preserved and the coffee remains fresh. This way, you can count on an optimally fresh product with a full flavour!
