Dark-roasted Italian beans in a 1 kg bag: these Lavazza coffee beans bring together Brazilian and Colombian Arabica with Asian Robusta. The dark roast pushes the sweet, spiced side forward — dates, cinnamon, spiced biscuit, a little honey and almond — while the Robusta keeps the body up under milk. Good as a firm espresso, good in a cappuccino, and plenty of character as filter coffee.

What goes into Super Gusto

Lavazza builds Super Gusto from natural Brazilian Arabica out of Cerrado, Mogiana and South Minas, washed Colombian Arabica from the Andes, and Asian Robusta. The naturals bring the sweetness and the dried-fruit side, the washed Colombian keeps the cup clean, and the Robusta adds weight and crema. The roast is dark, taken far enough to draw out the spice without burning off the aroma.

In the cup

Dates, cinnamon and spiced biscuit lead, with freshly baked bread in the aroma. Underneath sit honey, almond, caramel and dried fruit, and the finish is warm and faintly spicy rather than sharp. At 8 out of 13 on our strength scale it is a full cup that still stops short of a bitter bar roast.

Brewing it

As an espresso it gives a dense shot under a firm crema. In a cappuccino or a latte the spice and the sweetness stay legible through the milk, which is where this blend is at its best. Filter brewing gives you the body and a longer drink, though the sweeter notes read more clearly in a short one. Whole beans, so you will need a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine.

If you already drink Qualità Oro and want more body and more spice, Super Gusto is the step across.

FAQ
Customer Questions
How does the Lavazza Super Gusto coffee taste compared to other Lavazza blends, such as the Oro?
Lavazza Super Gusto stands out for a more powerful and spicier character (intensity 8 out of 13) and a full body. While Lavazza Oro has a somewhat milder flavour, with the Super Gusto you will clearly experience aromas of dried fruit, speculoos, cinnamon and freshly baked bread. It can taste slightly more bitter and stronger than the Oro, which is ideal if you enjoy a robust cup of coffee.
Where do the flavours of speculoos, dried fruit and spices in this coffee come from?
The distinctive flavour notes of speculoos, cinnamon and dried fruit are created by the blend of carefully selected Arabica and Robusta beans from Brazil, Colombia and Asia. The result is a coffee with deep aromas, a slightly spicy undertone and a pleasantly full finish.
Is the flavour of this coffee very bitter?
The Lavazza Super Gusto is powerful and full-bodied, with a rich flavour. You may notice a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, which is typical for strong blends containing Robusta. Overall, the coffee is nicely balanced and not overwhelmingly bitter, especially if you enjoy a robust cup of coffee.
Is this coffee suitable for making a lungo, or can it also be used for other brewing methods?
These beans are very suitable for a lungo due to their full flavour and powerful body, but you can also use them for espresso or cappuccino. As a lungo, the coffee keeps its strong aroma without losing flavour.
