In this
Lavazza Super
Crema Espresso
One of the most popular coffee bean of Lavazza is the Super Crema Espresso. As the name suggest, this bean makes for an excellent espresso, with a rich crema, and fruity taste.
Lavazza Gran
Crema Espresso
If you like it a bit bolder, the Gran Crema Espresso is a better fit. Roasted dark, this bean has a more intense taste, which is a bit more bitter, with chocolate notes and a creamy layer.
Lavazza Crema e Aroma
The Lavazza Crema e Aroma tastes a lot like the Super Crema, but has a slightly different blend, and therefore flavor profile. This bean has been called more allround, with less acidity.

The goal of each of the reviews on Let's Grind Some Coffee is to do an insane amount of research, so you don't have to anymore. We work with a number of talented and experienced writers, who know what they're talking about. Each writer is responsible for conducting his/her own research, so there's no miscommunication possible. When doing this article we didn't had any of the beans at hand, however, most of these beans have been used by us in the past. For conducting this article we used other product reviews, customers comments, and instruction videos and manuals.
Each of our Lavazza coffee reviews will give you a good idea of what to expect, but a few caveats apply if you’re going to take our reviews seriously. First, make sure that the beans you receive aren’t compromised in any way. Frequently, beans’ packaging will become slightly compromised during shipping, which can make the beans stale rather quickly.
Next, do yourself a favor and brew with your best technology. Great beans will still taste good with sub-optimal brewing methods, but you’ll get the best results—and the most bang for your buck—if you brew with a method that’s known for producing great espresso.
The Super Crema Espresso is a creamy and fruity mild bean which you’ll be able to make a delicious cup of espresso out of. This is the perfect espresso for a summer day spent on the patio, and nobody will be offended by its savory flavor.
Type of bean | Origin | Roast | Tasting notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Arabica/Robusta | Brazilian, Central American, Indonesia | Light | A creamy flurry of light notes and mild smoothness. |
Lavazza’s Gran Crema Espresso is the espresso enthusiast’s espresso bean. The Gran Crema will please the person looking for a bitter sip to accompany a sweet desert just as well as it’ll please someone making a cappuccino. People who can’t tolerate intense espressos probably won’t want to dabble with the Gran Crema unless they intend on exclusively putting it into milky drinks.
Type of bean | Origin | Roast | Tasting notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Arabica/Robusta | South America, Southeast Asia | Dark | Dark, intense, creamy, with a hint of nuttiness. |
Crema e Aroma is a delicious espresso bean that has something to offer for everyone. If you’re looking for intensity, the Crema e Aroma won’t disappoint you despite its medium roast. If you’re looking for a bean that can take the back seat in a cappuccino yet still be full of character, you’ve found the right one.
If you don’t prepare this bean with care, it’ll probably taste a bit acidic due to the percentage of Arabica beans in the blend, so take care.

Crema e Gusto is an interesting bean whose taste will surprise you because of how uncharacteristic it is for its roast and blend. Though you’d expect the Crema e Gusto to have a powerfully intense arrival on your taste buds and finish with a retreating smoothness, instead you’re treated to a sweet approach and an earthy chocolate finish.
This coffee has something for everyone, but its flavor is too complex to mix into milky drinks—you wouldn’t be doing it justice.
Type of bean | Origin | Roast | Tasting notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Arabica/Robusta | Brazilian, African, Indonesia | Dark | Smooth, syrupy, pleasant, chocolatey, and not too bitter. |
The Caffe Espresso is the pre-ground version of the bean we’ve already discussed. Like its full bean twin, the Caffe Espresso is the representative of all espresso beans everywhere. Because it’s vacuum sealed, the ground up version should be nearly as good as the full bean version.
Type of bean | Origin | Roast | Tasting notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
100% Arabica | South America | Medium | A touch of acidic and a |
The Qualita Rossa is a medium roast that plays like a light roast would on your tongue. If you’re not a fan of acidity, look elsewhere—but if you love those delicate fruity notes and a fully features aftertaste, the Qualita Rossa is the right espresso for you.
Type of bean | Origin | Roast | Tasting notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Arabica/Robusta | Brazil, Africa | Medium | Fruity intensity to start and |
The Gran Selezione is a smooth and intense dark roast that will please any drip coffee enthusiast while still being approachable to those who don’t chase the intensity. The Gran Selezione is intense enough to show through any milky drink you throw it into, which might be a good feature or reason to avoid this bean.
If you’re looking for a dark roast that will taste deliciously deep and rich without turning anyone away from the bitterness, the Gran Selezione will do the trick.
