How to Use
Use about 0.28 oz of grounds to pull a single 1 oz espresso shot, or 0.56 oz for a double 2 oz shot, adjusting tamping pressure to taste. Because the coffee is pre-ground for espresso, it is not recommended for drip machines or French presses, which need a coarser grind. Store the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight to keep the grounds fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Lavazza Espresso Barista Gran Crema Ground Coffee contain allergens?
Coffee itself is not one of the major labeled food allergens, and this product's ingredient is roasted, ground coffee. It is packaged in a facility that may also process other coffee blends, so anyone with a specific sensitivity should read the printed label on the bag before use, since facility notices can change between production runs.
What grind size is Lavazza Barista Gran Crema and how do I use it?
The coffee is ground very fine, in the 200 to 250 micron range, and calibrated specifically for espresso machines. Use about 0.28 oz for a single shot or 0.56 oz for a double shot, adjusting tamping pressure for your machine. It is too fine for drip coffee makers or French presses, which need a coarser grind.
What is the difference between Lavazza Barista Gran Crema and Lavazza's whole bean espresso coffee?
Gran Crema is pre-ground to a fine espresso grind, ready to use straight from the bag in an espresso machine. Lavazza's whole bean coffee needs to be ground fresh before brewing and can be adjusted to a coarser setting for moka pots, drip machines, or French presses. Choose ground for convenience and whole bean for a customizable grind.
Where is Lavazza Espresso Barista Gran Crema made and what size is the bag?
It is roasted and packaged by Lavazza in Turin, Italy. This listing is the 2.2 lb (1 kg) bag, a bulk format intended for daily espresso drinkers, small offices, or anyone who wants to avoid running out of coffee between orders.
