Flavour profile
Lavazza Aroma Top is the 100% Arabica coffee in Lavazza's professional range: a blend of Arabica from plantations in Central and South America, with a medium roast. Lavazza describes it as full-bodied and aromatic, with a velvety crema and a sweet, lingering finish. In the cup: a delicate flavour with notes of biscuit and toasted cereals. Designed for espresso, it also suits those who enjoy a light, fragrant filter coffee.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Aroma Top and Aroma Più?
These are the two Lavazza blends for cafés, each with a distinct positioning:
- Aroma Top (this product) — 100% Arabica, medium roast, delicate flavour (biscuit, toasted cereals). Positioned for high-end gastronomy.
- Aroma Più — Arabica and Robusta, extremely creamy, with notes of honey and almond. Positioned for everyday café use, with broader appeal.
Choose according to use: Aroma Top for a signature coffee on a fine dining menu, Aroma Più for a high-volume café.
Does a 100% Arabica coffee produce a good crema?
The crema of a 100% Arabica coffee is lighter and finer than that of an Arabica-Robusta blend: Robusta produces a denser, longer-lasting crema. Lavazza describes Aroma Top's crema as velvety. To optimise the crema: use a machine with pre-infusion, a precise grind, a 9–10 g dose and a 25–30 s extraction. Crema is an indicator of bean freshness — if it disappears quickly (<30 s), check the best-before date.
How many cups can I make with 1 kg of Aroma Top?
The yield depends on the dose:
- Short espresso (7 g) : ~143 cups.
- Standard espresso (9 g) : ~111 cups.
- Filter coffee machine (60 g/L) : ~83 cups of 200 ml.
Café serving 100 espressos/day: ~1,5 days per kilo. Household drinking 4 cups/day: ~4–5 weeks.
Is Aroma Top compatible with my bean-to-cup coffee machine?
Yes, all brands: De'Longhi (Magnifica, Dinamica, Eletta), Jura (E, S, Z, GIGA), Philips (LatteGo, 2200–5500), Melitta (Caffeo, Barista), Krups (Evidence, Intuition), Saeco. Recommended settings: medium grind 5/10, 9–10 g dose, temperature 92 °C, 25–30 s extraction. Please note: its refined, delicate profile may seem light to those used to full-bodied Italian blends (Kimbo Prestige, Lavazza Gran Espresso) — this is normal and intentional, not a fault.
How should I store the 1 kg bag to preserve the aroma?
Coffee beans are more stable than ground coffee. After opening, reseal the bag carefully or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight jar and store at room temperature (18–22 °C), away from light and heat sources. Avoid the fridge (moisture and absorption of odours). An unopened 1 kg bag keeps until the date shown on the bag. After opening, ideally use within 3–4 weeks for optimal aroma.
Is Aroma Top available as ground coffee or capsules?
On Cafemalin, the Aroma Top range is mainly available as coffee beans in 1 kg bags (this product). For a filter coffee machine without a grinder, choose an equivalent Lavazza ground coffee. For capsule use, the Lavazza range offers premium 100% Arabica versions for the A Modo Mio, Blue and Espresso Point systems.
