Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Lavazza Crema e Aroma Expert and Lavazza Super Crema?
These are two Lavazza Arabica and Robusta whole bean coffees with different profiles:
- Crema e Aroma Expert — intensity 8/10, the fuller-bodied of the two: Arabica and Robusta from Africa and the Americas, a dark chocolate and spice aroma, and fruity and woody notes. A versatile coffee and our best seller across all categories.
- Super Crema — intensity 7/10, Arabica and Robusta from South America and Asia, honey and hazelnut notes, smoother and medium-bodied.
Our advice: Crema e Aroma Expert for an everyday full-bodied espresso (at home or in the office), Super Crema for a smoother espresso with honeyed notes.
How many cups can I make with a 1 kg bag of Lavazza Crema e Aroma Expert?
The yield depends on the dose per cup:
- Short espresso (7 g/cup) : ~143 cups per kilo.
- Standard espresso (9 g/cup) : ~111 cups per kilo.
- Long coffee / lungo (10 g/cup) : ~100 cups per kilo.
- Filter coffee machine (60 g/l, equivalent to 12 g per 200 ml) : ~83 cups per kilo.
For typical household use of 4 cups per day, a 1 kg bag lasts between 3 and 5 weeks. For an office with more than 10 people or Ho.Re.Ca. use, consider the 3 kg pack, the 6 kg pack or the 12 kg, 18 kg and 30 kg professional packs.
Is Lavazza Crema e Aroma Expert compatible with my automatic bean-to-cup machine?
Yes, this coffee is suitable for automatic bean-to-cup machines (with a built-in grinder) as well as portafilter machines: Lavazza designs it for espresso. It is suitable for the following machines, for example:
- De'Longhi — Magnifica S/Evo, Dinamica, Eletta Explore, Prima Donna, Rivelia
- Jura — E range (E4, E6, E8), S8, Z10, ENA 4/8, GIGA 6/10
- Philips — LatteGo 2200 → 5500, 3200, 4400
- Melitta — Caffeo Solo, Barista TS Smart, LatteSelect
- Krups — Evidence, Intuition Preference
- Saeco / Siemens — EQ, Xelsis, Xsmall ranges
Recommended settings: medium (5/10) grind setting, a dose of 7 to 9 g, and an extraction time of 25 to 30 seconds. The Robusta content produces a dense, long-lasting crema.
How should I store my Lavazza Crema e Aroma Expert beans to preserve their aroma?
Coffee beans are more stable than ground coffee, but are still sensitive to air, moisture and light. Best practices:
- Reseal the bag tightly after each use (the Lavazza one-way valve lets CO₂ escape without letting oxygen in).
- Ideally, transfer to an opaque, airtight jar at room temperature (18–22 °C).
- Do not refrigerate (moisture, absorption of odours) or freeze (condensation).
- Keep away from light and heat sources.
An unopened 1 kg bag keeps until the date shown on the bag. Once opened, preferably use within 4 to 6 weeks for the best aroma.
Why is this blend Cafemalin's best-selling coffee?
Crema e Aroma Expert is the best-selling product on the site, with regular repeat purchases. Three reasons:
- A crowd-pleasing profile — intensity 8/10, body without harshness, and chocolate notes appreciated by most consumers.
- Recognised value for money — an authentic Italian Lavazza blend in a 1 kg bag, with better-value packs of 3 to 30 bags for high-consumption households and professionals.
- Versatile brewing options — works equally well in an automatic bean-to-cup machine, a manual espresso machine, a moka pot or a filter coffee maker.
This is the default choice we recommend to any new customer who is unsure which Lavazza blend to choose.
Where is Crema e Aroma Expert roasted?
Crema e Aroma Expert is a coffee from the professional range of Lavazza, the Turin-based company: its official product information names Luigi Lavazza S.p.A., in Turin, as the operator. The group roasts its coffees in nine factories across five countries, including the historic Settimo Torinese site near Turin; the production location is shown on each bag.
