Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Gran Espresso 30 kg and the 20 kg size?
The coffee, its Arabica and Robusta composition, roast and tasting notes (cocoa, black pepper, spices) are exactly the same. The only difference is the pack size — 30 bags of 1 kg vs 20 bags of 1 kg. Choose according to your consumption:
- Gran Espresso 30 kg (this product) — high-volume cafés, hotels and restaurants, lasts 2–3 months.
- Gran Espresso 20 kg — medium-volume cafés, hotels and restaurants, lasts 1–2 months.
Gran Espresso vs Super Crema — which 30 kg pack should you choose?
These are Lavazza's 2 signature hospitality blends, each with a distinct positioning:
- Gran Espresso 30 kg (this product) — fuller-bodied, with cocoa and black pepper notes. A true classic Italian espresso. Best as a short espresso.
- Super Crema 30 kg — milder, with notes of honey and toasted hazelnut, intensity 7/10. A versatile blend, excellent for both espresso and milk-based drinks.
Who exactly is this 30 kg pack for?
For high-volume hospitality businesses that favour intense Italian espresso:
- High-volume Italian bar — multiple sites, customers who demand authenticity.
- Italian restaurant chain — consistent blend across all sites, Italian cuisine.
- Hotel rated 4–5 stars — lounge, bar, after-meal espresso service.
- Staff cafeteria for 100+ employees — customers who enjoy strong coffee.
- Event caterer — signature Italian espresso.
Estimated yield ~4 285 espressos using a standard 7 g dose.
Suitable for milk-based drinks or just espresso?
Gran Espresso also works in milk-based drinks, but its intense profile is best expressed in a short espresso or ristretto. In a cappuccino or latte, the cocoa and spice notes remain noticeable, but the bitterness may stand out more than with a milder blend. If your menu includes plenty of milk-based drinks, choose Super Crema 30 kg (more versatile). For a menu focused mainly on espresso, Gran Espresso remains the benchmark choice for Italian authenticity.
How should you store the 30 bags of 1 kg to preserve freshness?
Each 1 kg bag is sealed in a protective atmosphere (nitrogen) and fitted with a degassing valve. As long as a bag remains unopened in its original packaging, it will keep until the date shown on the bag. Store unopened bags at room temperature (18–22 °C), away from light — do not refrigerate. Once a bag is open, reseal it carefully or transfer the contents to an opaque, airtight jar, and ideally use within 3 to 4 weeks. For 30 kg hospitality use, plan your rate of consumption: 1 bag opened = 1 bag finished within a maximum of 3–4 weeks.
