Lucaffé Mamma Lucia - coffee beans - 1 kilo

What is Lucaffé Mamma Lucia?

Lucaffé Mamma Lucia is an Italian coffee bean blend from Lucaffé. The beans are medium roasted and have a powerful, intense flavour with distinct chocolate notes. The pack contains 1 kilo of coffee beans, convenient for everyday use.

Lucaffé Mamma Lucia is a blend of 40% Arabica and 60% Robusta beans. That ratio gives a firm body and a rich crema. The coffee is neither acidic nor bitter, but it is pronounced in flavour.

Arabica and Robusta: what does this blend mean?

Arabica gives the coffee softness and aroma. Robusta adds strength, body and a dense crema. Combining the two creates a coffee that is both intense and easy to drink. This is a classic approach in the Italian roasting tradition.

Who is it suitable for?

Lucaffé Mamma Lucia is suitable for anyone who enjoys a strong, full coffee. The 1 kilo pack is practical for home users who make several cups every day, but also for small offices or hospitality settings.

• Coffee lovers who enjoy an intense, powerful coffee
• People who want a robust start to the morning
• Home users with an espresso machine or coffee grinder
• Small businesses that use beans daily
• Anyone wanting Italian coffee beans without compromise on flavour

The coffee is less suitable for those who prefer a light or fruity coffee. If you are looking for a 100% Arabica blend, consider another option within the Lucaffé range.

How to use Lucaffé Mamma Lucia?

Lucaffé Mamma Lucia coffee beans are versatile. They work well in an espresso machine, but also in a filter coffee maker or a moka pot. The medium roast makes the beans suitable for various brewing methods.

Tips for the espresso machine

Grind the beans just before use for the best results. Use a grind size that suits your machine. For espresso, a fine grind is most suitable. The Arabica-Robusta mix provides a firm crema and a full flavour in the cup.

Tips for filter coffee

For filter coffee use a slightly coarser grind. The intense flavour of Lucaffé Mamma Lucia remains present with filter brewing. Use slightly less coffee per litre if you prefer a milder cup.

• Grind the beans fresh before use
• Store the beans in a sealed, dry container
• Use filtered water for the cleanest taste
• Clean your machine regularly for optimal results

Lucaffé Mr Exclusive

Lucaffé Mr Exclusive is made from 100% Arabica beans. This variant is softer, less intense and has a more fruity and floral aroma. Mr Exclusive is suitable if you prefer a milder coffee over the powerful taste of Mamma Lucia.
