Lavazza Crema Ricca coffee beans 1 kg

Three Lavazza blends, all focused on crema, but with different emphases:

• Crema Ricca (this product) — a balance of crema and indulgent aroma. Medium-dark roast, notes of milk chocolate / caramel / nuts. Intensity 8/10. A signature blend for gourmet bars.
• Super Crema 1 kg — very dense crema is the priority. Medium roast, notes of honey and toasted hazelnut. Intensity 7/10. Milder and more versatile.
• Pronto Crema 1 kg — optimised for fast extraction in bars. Ho.Re.Ca blend for high-volume bars. Intensity 8/10.

Crema Ricca literally means ‘rich cream’ in Italian — a product promise stated in the blend's name. The blend is specifically tailored by Lavazza's master roasters to maximise the abundance and persistence of the crema: thick, golden-hazelnut in colour, lasting several minutes after extraction. A blend focused as much on visual presentation in bars as on flavour profile.

Aimed at Ho.Re.Ca bars seeking a signature crema and offices with premium espresso enthusiasts:

• Signature bar / gourmet café — customers who value the visual presentation of espresso.
• Restaurant / hotel — after-dinner coffee, signature lounge bar coffee.
• Office with a taste for dense crema — premium domestic bean-to-cup machine.
• Semi-professional espresso machine at home — enthusiast who appreciates beautiful crema.

Estimated yield: ~143 espressos with a standard 7 g dose. Lasts ~1–2 weeks with light bar use.

For now, the Crema Ricca blend is mainly available in individual 1 kg bags at Cafemalin. For higher-volume professional use, choose a similar Lavazza blend in a multi-kilogram pack: Super Crema 6 kg (focused on even denser crema), Pronto Crema 6 kg (quick crema formation for fast-paced bar service) or Crema e Aroma 6 kg (balance of crema and aroma).

Excellent. The very abundant crema characteristic of Crema Ricca creates a striking visual contrast with steamed milk — perfect for signature cappuccinos and latte art. The milk chocolate and caramel notes pair naturally with the sweetness of heated milk. The crema supports the milk well without collapsing, allowing clean, stable latte art patterns. This is the Lavazza blend recommended for a bar that wants to focus on presentation.

The 1 kg bag is sealed in a protective atmosphere (nitrogen) and fitted with a degassing valve. As long as the bag remains in its original sealed condition, it keeps until the best-before date shown (18–24 months). Store it at room temperature (18–22°C), away from light — do not refrigerate. Once opened, reseal carefully (heat-sealable strip or clip) or transfer to an airtight, opaque jar, and ideally use within 3 to 4 weeks for optimal crema (the aromas oxidise).
