Lavazza Crema e Gusto is a 2.2 lb whole-bean medium roast blend of Arabica and Robusta designed to deliver a full-bodied cup with warm spice notes and a creamy finish.

With an intensity rating around 7/10, Crema e Gusto aims to offer satisfying body and crema without overwhelming bitterness. Packaged in a 2.2 lb bag, it’s sized for home lovers who want freshly ground beans and consistent results, backed by Lavazza’s long history of roasting expertise.

What flavor and roast characteristics can I expect from Crema e Gusto?

Crema e Gusto is a medium roast that emphasizes body and rounded flavor rather than bright acidity. Tasting notes lean toward warm spices and a pleasantly creamy texture, with underlying cocoa and nutty hints typical of blended Arabica and Robusta beans.

• Medium roast profile: balanced, not too light or too dark
• Aromatic spice notes with mild cocoa and nut undertones
• Creamy mouthfeel and lasting finish

How does this blend perform in different brewing methods?

Crema e Gusto was formulated to be versatile: it delivers good extraction and structure across several extraction styles. Espresso brings forward crema and concentrated flavor, while drip and French press accentuate body and spice; moka pot produces robust, espresso-like cups.

• Espresso: thick crema and concentrated flavor
• Drip: balanced cup with full body
• French press: richer mouthfeel and pronounced spice notes
• Moka pot: bold, slightly syrupy brew similar to stovetop espresso

What’s in the bag and where are the beans sourced from?

The bag contains 100% coffee whole beans — a blend of Arabica and Robusta sourced primarily from South America and Southeast Asia. Lavazza lists only coffee as the ingredient and produces this product in facilities dedicated solely to coffee, which helps reduce cross-contamination risks.

• Blend: Arabica + Robusta for balance and crema
• Origins: beans from South America and Southeast Asia
• Ingredient list: only coffee; single-purpose facilities
• Bag size: 2.2 lb (1 kg) whole beans, pack of 1

How should I store and grind these beans for best results?

Keep the sealed bag in a cool, dark place and open only when ready to grind to preserve volatile aromatics. Grind immediately before brewing to maximize flavor: finer for espresso, medium for drip, and coarse for French press.

• Storage: cool, dry, away from direct light
• Grinding: grind fresh just before brewing
• Grind settings: fine for espresso, medium for drip, coarse for French press
• Use within weeks of opening for best aroma and crema

Who is this for? Crema e Gusto suits home baristas and everyday coffee drinkers who want a dependable, full-bodied medium roast that performs well in multiple machines. If you enjoy a spiced, creamy cup with strong body and good crema—without moving to an intense dark roast—this Lavazza blend offers a practical 2.2 lb supply for frequent drinkers or small households. It’s also a match for anyone who prefers whole beans so they can control grind size and freshly extract each cup.
