Lavazza Crema e Gusto is a 2.2 lb whole-bean medium roast blend of Arabica and Robusta crafted for a full-bodied cup with spicy aromatics and a creamy finish.
This blend pairs South American Arabica beans with Robustas from Southeast Asia to deliver balanced body and crema suitable for espresso, drip, moka pot or French press. Roast level sits in the medium range, giving a rounded flavor profile with noticeable spice notes and a satisfying mouthfeel. Packaged in a 2.2 lb bag, the beans are ideal for frequent home use or small offices where freshness and versatility matter.
How does Crema e Gusto perform in an espresso machine?
Crema e Gusto is formulated to produce a rich crema and a concentrated, full-bodied espresso. The Arabica brings aromatic complexity while Robusta increases body and crema retention without overpowering the cup.
- Grind medium-fine to fine for best extraction.
- Expect a bold, rounded shot with spicy top notes.
- Works well at typical espresso pressures (9 bar).
- Blend helps maintain crema even after cooling slightly.
What flavor profile should I expect from this medium roast?
The roast emphasizes a balanced body with aromatic spice highlights rather than bright fruitiness. The finish leans creamy with a steady intensity that sits around 7/10.
- Primary notes: warm spices and toasted tones.
- Body: full and rounded, thanks to Robusta presence.
- Finish: creamy and persistent without excessive bitterness.
- Acidity: moderate, supporting the overall balance.
Which brewing methods suit these whole beans best?
Crema e Gusto adapts well across common brewing methods, from concentrated espresso to more open extraction like drip or French press. Adjust grind and dose to each method to highlight either crema and body or a smoother cup.
- Espresso: fine grind for crema and intensity.
- Moka pot: medium-fine grind for robust stovetop cups.
- Drip/automatic: medium grind for balanced extraction.
- French press: coarse grind to emphasize body and mouthfeel.

It suits home baristas dialing in espresso shots, households that brew multiple ways, and small offices looking for a 2.2 lb supply of versatile beans. With Lavazza’s long history in coffee sourcing and roasting, the pack is geared toward people who value consistent performance and traditional Italian-style blends rather than single-origin light roasts or specialty microlots.
