This three-pack of 8.8-ounce Lavazza Crema e Gusto bricks brings a classic Italian espresso-style character to everyday brewing. Crafted in Italy from a 70% Robusta and 30% Arabica mix, the blend emphasizes body and intensity with chocolate notes that stand up well to milk and strong preparations. The grounds are milled to a medium-coarse texture, optimized for drip coffee makers and French press, making it versatile for home kitchens and small office brewers.
What does Crema e Gusto taste like?
The blend delivers a pronounced, full-bodied profile with clear chocolaty tones and a rounded intensity from the Robusta content. Arabica adds balance and subtle aroma while Robusta provides crema and strength, resulting in a bold cup that remains smooth instead of bitter when brewed properly.
- Flavor notes: dark chocolate, roasted cereal, mild caramel undertones
- Body: full and dense with lasting mouthfeel
- Aftertaste: persistent, slightly nutty finish
How should I brew it for best results?
Use medium-coarse grounds for drip machines or a French press to highlight the blend’s body and chocolate character. Measure by coffee-to-water ratio and adjust extraction time to avoid over-extraction; shorter steeping for drip, 3–4 minutes for French press is a good starting point.
- Drip coffee: 1–2 tablespoons per 6 oz water, adjust to taste
- French press: coarser grind, steep 3–4 minutes then plunge
- Not ideal for espresso machines without repackaging/pressing finer
What’s in the pack and why choose this format?
Each purchase includes three individually wrapped 8.8-ounce bricks, convenient for rotating fresh supply or sharing across locations. Brick packaging helps preserve aroma and makes storage tidy on pantry shelves compared with bulky bags.
- Pack size: three 8.8 oz (250 g) bricks
- Packaging: airtight bricks to maintain freshness between use
- Made in Italy: consistent roast profile from Lavazza’s blending expertise
Is Crema e Gusto suitable for milk-based drinks?
Yes—its chocolatey, robust profile pairs well with milk, producing a balanced cappuccino or latte that keeps flavor depth when combined with steamed milk. The Robusta component preserves crema and body, so the drink won’t taste washed out.
- Works well in cappuccinos, lattes, and flat whites
- Retains character when mixed with milk or milk alternatives
- Good choice for those who prefer bold coffee in milk drinks
Who is this for? Lavazza Crema e Gusto ground coffee is aimed at coffee lovers who want an authentic Italian, full-bodied cup without needing espresso equipment.
