Features
Usage & Compatibility
The 4g sugar stick is the French standard for coffee service in the hospitality industry (Café-Hotel-Restauration). Each stick contains one individual serving, presented in Lavazza-printed food-grade paper — ensuring consistent branding for Lavazza-affiliated establishments (bars, cafés, restaurants, hotels with Lavazza breakfast service).
Box size 700 units vs. 200 units: designed for high-traffic establishments (bars/brasseries serving 80-150 coffees/day = approximately 2 months' worth of consumption) or offices/meeting rooms with high usage (30-50 people = approximately 3-4 months' worth of consumption). Typical turnover for a French neighborhood bar: approximately 1 box of 700 units every 2-3 months. Delivered in a protective logistics carton — no compression, paper intact.
Premium French alternative : for high-end neutral branding (luxury hotels, tea rooms), see Saint Louis 4g x600 stick sugar — a historic French brand founded in 1867. For small volume, see Lavazza x200 stick sugar.
Compatibility: Serves espresso/long coffee, tea, herbal tea — universal for all hot beverages

Frequently Asked Questions
Why 4g per log?
4g is the official French standard for coffee/tea sugar cubes in the hospitality industry (CHR). It corresponds to the ideal dosage for a 25-35ml espresso or a 60-80ml lungo : enough to sweeten without masking the coffee's aromas. For a 160ml cappuccino or a 240ml latte , most consumers use 1-2 cubes.
Alternative format: some countries (Germany, Austria) use 5g ; Italy mainly uses 5g bar but 4g has become the standard in France since the 1980s.
Yield/turnover of a 700 gearbox in an office or bar setting?
Typical rotation depending on usage:
- French neighbourhood bar (80-150 coffees/day) — consumption ~30-50 logs/day (30-50% of customers sweeten) = ~2-3 months per box of 700.
- Restaurant / brasserie (150-300 coffees/day, including dessert) — ~50-80 logs/day = ~1.5-2 months per box.
- Hotel with breakfast (50-100 coffee/tea/morning) — ~40-60 logs/day = ~2-2.5 months.
- Office ~30 people (self-service coffee machine) — ~10-15 logs/day = ~4-6 months.
Difference with Lavazza Sugar Sticks x200?
Same product, different format :
- Box of 200 briquettes (#1540) — test size, troubleshooting or small team office (5-10 people = ~2 months). Higher unit price, retail presentation size.
- Box of 700 coffee sticks (this product) — professional volume (high-volume bar/hotel/office). Price per stick lower than the x200 format, intended for establishments with a regular coffee flow.
For occasional personal use, choose x200. For regular professional use, x700 is more economical and avoids stockouts.
Compatible with all brands of coffee?
Technically yes —sugar is a neutral, universal ingredient. However, the Lavazza branding printed on the paper is a choice specific to Lavazza-affiliated establishments (Lavazza-branded bars/cafés/hotels, respecting the brand's visual identity in the dining area). For neutral branding, opt for Saint Louis Sugar x600 (a historic French brand dating back to 1867, printed on premium neutral paper).
Storage and best before date?
Long shelf life (~18 months ) — sugar being a stable product (dehydrated, non-perishable), the shelf life is very long:
- Protect from moisture — place the box in a dry location (room temperature 15-25°C, relative humidity < 65%). Moisture can cause the sugar sticks (fusing together).
- Closed box — reseal after each use to avoid dust and ambient humidity.
- Avoid proximity to odorous products (coffee, spices, household products) — the paper could absorb the odors.
A well-preserved log can still be used well beyond its best-before date, but may slightly change color with age (yellowing of paper without altering taste).
Alternative options — brown sugar, sweetener, bulk format?
