Lavazza Crema e Gusto Ground Coffee — 4 x 8.8 oz Medium Roast Blend, Full-bodied Chocolate Notes

Lavazza Crema e Gusto is a medium-roast ground coffee that blends Brazilian Arabica and African/Indonesian Robusta for a full-bodied, chocolate‑tinged cup, sold as four 8.8 oz bricks.

Born from Lavazza's long family tradition dating back to 1895, this Crema e Gusto mix pairs balanced crema and pronounced body to suit espresso or everyday brewing. The recipe combines South American Arabicas for smoothness with Robustas from Africa and Southeast Asia for structure and fragrance. The result is a versatile ground coffee that works well in moka pots, espresso machines, drip brewers, and French presses, delivering a consistently rich flavor profile with subtle spicy and chocolate notes.

• Works in espresso machines and moka pots for concentrated, crema-rich shots
• Suitable for drip coffeemakers and French press for fuller-bodied filtered cups
• Eight-point-eight ounce bricks are easy to store and portion per brew size
