Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Lavazza Crema e Aroma Expert and Lavazza Super Crema?

- Crema e Aroma Expert — intensity 7/10 , a balanced multi-origin Arabica-Robusta blend with notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, and dried fruit . Cafemalin all-round, versatile , and absolute best-selling blend
- Super Crema — intensity 7/10 , a slightly more Arabica-dominant blend , rounder and honeyed , with an even denser crema. Often chosen by enthusiasts of high-end bean-to-cup machines (Jura, De'Longhi Prima Donna).

How can I store my Lavazza Crema e Aroma Expert coffee beans to preserve the aromas?
Whole bean coffee is more stable than ground coffee, but remains sensitive to air, humidity, and light. Best practices:
- The bag is hermetically sealed after each use (the Lavazza one-way valve lets CO₂ escape without letting oxygen in).
- Ideal: transfer to an opaque, airtight jar at room temperature (18-22 °C).
- NO refrigerator (humidity + odor absorption) or freezer (condensation).
- Keep away from light and heat sources.
A sealed 1 kg bag can be stored until the indicated best before date (generally 18-24 months from roasting). Once opened, ideally consume within 4 to 6 weeks for optimal flavor.
Why is this blend the best-selling coffee at Cafemalin ?
With over 27,600 customers and recurring purchases, Crema e Aroma Expert has held the absolute number one spot on the site for several years. Three reasons:
- A consensus profile — intensity 7/10 right in the middle, chocolatey notes appreciated by the majority of consumers.
- Unbeatable value for money — the authentic Italian Lavazza blend at around €20/kg, with pack sizes up to −25% for bulk households and professionals.
- Versatility of methods — works equally well as 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 hesitating between Lavazza blends.
Where is Crema e Aroma Expert roasted?
Lavazza Crema e Aroma Expert is roasted in Lavazza's factories in Italy. Lavazza has historically operated its Settimo Torinese plant (province of Turin, Piedmont), one of the largest roasting facilities in Europe. A second plant in Gattinara (Piedmont) complements the Italian production. The brand has also opened a site in the United Kingdom (Colombia) to serve markets outside the EU. For the French market, traceability is Italian (blend roasted in Italy, packaged in Italy or France depending on the size).
