- 100 percent Arabica beans — a single-origin-style bean blend, per the label

- Whole bean format — grind fresh just before brewing for the fullest aroma
- Multiple brew methods — suited to espresso machines, moka pots, drip makers, and French presses

How to Use
Grind the beans just before brewing rather than in advance, and match the grind to your equipment: fine for an espresso machine, medium-fine for a moka pot, medium for a drip coffee maker, and coarse for a French press. Brew immediately after grinding for the best flavor. Store unused beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture, and avoid the freezer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Lavazza Espresso Whole Bean Coffee contain allergens?
Coffee itself is not one of the major labeled food allergens, and the only ingredient here is roasted Arabica coffee beans. The beans are 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.
Can I use Lavazza Espresso Whole Bean Coffee for drip coffee, not just espresso?
Yes. The beans work in espresso machines, moka pots, drip coffee makers, and French presses, but the grind size needs to match the method: fine for espresso, medium-fine for a moka pot, medium for drip, and coarse for a French press. Grind the beans fresh right before brewing for the best flavor.
What is the difference between Lavazza's whole bean coffee and its Barista Gran Crema ground coffee?
This whole bean coffee lets you choose and adjust your own grind for different brewing methods, from espresso to French press. Barista Gran Crema comes pre-ground to a very fine setting made specifically for espresso machines, so it is more convenient but less flexible across brewing styles.
Where is Lavazza Espresso Whole Bean Coffee made and what size is the bag?
It is roasted and packaged by Lavazza in Turin, Italy, using the family recipe the company has followed since 1895. This listing is the 2.2 lb (1 kg) bag, a bulk format for daily coffee drinkers, small offices, or anyone who wants to avoid running out of beans between orders.
