Flavour profile
This 12×1 kg pack brings together 12 identical bags of the Crema e Aroma Expert blend, Cafemalin's best-selling coffee, in 2 boxes of 6. Lavazza blends Arabica and Robusta from Africa, Central America and South America for a rich, balanced taste: an aroma of dark chocolate and spices, fruity and woody notes, and a dense, enveloping crema. The 12 kg format is designed for regular use: an office or small business serving several dozen coffees a day opens one bag after another, with each remaining sealed in a protective atmosphere until opened — the freshness of a 1 kg bag, with the reserves of a bulk format.

Frequently asked questions
Does the 12 kg pack contain exactly the same coffee as the 1 kg bag?
Yes, this pack contains 12 identical 1 kg bags of SKU Crema e Aroma Expert 1 kg, delivered in 2 boxes of 6. Same blend, same roast, same best-before date — saving −12% compared with buying 12 separate 1 kg bags. Each bag is individually sealed in a protective atmosphere, preserving freshness far better than a single large container.
Who is the 12 kg format for?
The 12 kg pack is the entry-level professional format in the Crema e Aroma Expert range:
- Office with 15 to 30 people (30 to 60 coffees/day): 12 kg lasts ~4 to 8 weeks — the open bag is used within a few days, while the rest remain sealed.
- Small hospitality business (brasserie, tea room, ~100 coffees/day): ~2 and a half weeks of service.
- Heavy coffee drinkers and associations that have already tried and approved the blend in the 1 kg size or the 6 kg pack.
For a household, that same 12 kg quantity represents more than a year's supply of coffee: choose the 1 kg bag or the 3 kg pack instead.
How many cups can I serve with this 12 kg pack?
The yield depends on the dose:
- Short espresso (7 g/cup) : ~1 714 cups.
- Standard espresso (9 g/cup) : ~1 333 cups.
- Lungo (10 g/cup) : ~1 200 cups.
- Filter coffee machine (12 g/cup) : ~1 000 cups.
For an office with 20 people drinking 2 coffees per person per day (40 coffees/day), the 12 kg pack lasts ~6 weeks. For a brasserie serving 100 coffees/day, allow ~17 days.
Which format should I choose: 6, 12, 18 or 30 kg?
All four packs contain the same 1 kg bag, in boxes of 6; only the quantity changes, and with it the saving per bag:
- 6 kg (1 box) — office with < 15 people, high-consumption household.
- 12 kg (2 boxes, this pack) — office with 15–30 people, small hospitality business.
- 18 kg (3 boxes) — catering, hotels and offices with high coffee consumption.
- 30 kg (5 boxes) — high-volume hospitality businesses and institutions.
A simple rule: choose the format you will use within no more than two months, so that you open each bag while its aromas are at their best.
How can you store 12 kg of coffee beans without losing their aroma?
The 12×1 kg format is designed for long-term storage: each bag remains hermetically sealed in a protective atmosphere until opened. Best practices:
- Keep the boxes closed at room temperature (18–22°C), away from light, moisture and heat sources (never near the machine or dishwasher).
- Open one bag at a time and use it within 4 to 6 weeks for optimal aroma.
- Once the bag is open: reseal carefully (one-way valve) or transfer to an opaque, airtight jar; only fill the machine's hopper with enough for one or two days of service.
- Best-before date for unopened bags: printed on each bag.
