Lavazza Crema e Aroma Expert coffee beans 18 kg pack — 18 × 1 kg

Yes, this pack contains 18 identical 1 kg bags of SKU Crema e Aroma Expert 1 kg, delivered in 3 boxes of 6. Same blend, same roast, same best-before date — saving −14% compared with buying 18 separate 1 kg bags. Each bag is individually sealed in a protective atmosphere, preserving freshness far better than a single large container.

The 18 kg pack is the catering format in the Crema e Aroma Expert range:

• Brasserie, restaurant or hotel (~100 coffees/day): 18 kg provides ~3 and a half weeks of service.
• High-volume office or cafeteria (40 to 60 coffees/day): ~6 to 9 weeks.
• Low-volume establishment (~30 coffees/day): choose the 12 kg pack or the 6 kg pack so that you open each bag while its aroma is at its best.

For a household, the 1 kg bag or the 3 kg pack remain the right formats.

The yield depends on the dose:

• Short espresso (7 g/cup) : ~2 571 cups.
• Standard espresso (9 g/cup) : ~2 000 cups.
• Lungo (10 g/cup) : ~1 800 cups.
• Filter coffee machine (12 g/cup) : ~1 500 cups.

For a restaurant serving 100 coffees/day, the 18 kg pack lasts ~26 days. For a hotel serving 150 coffees/day at breakfast and at the bar, allow ~17 days.

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) — office with 15–30 people, small hotel, restaurant or café.
• 18 kg (3 cases, this pack) — restaurants, hotels and high-volume offices.
• 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.

The 18 × 1 kg format is designed for long-term storage: each bag remains hermetically sealed in a protective atmosphere until opened. Good practice in the kitchen or storeroom:

• Keep the boxes closed in a dry storeroom (18–22°C), away from light, moisture and heat sources — never above the machine or near the dishwasher.
• Open one bag at a time and use it within 4 to 6 weeks for optimal aroma.
• Only fill the machine's hopper with enough coffee for one or two days of service; reseal the opened bag (one-way valve) or transfer its contents to an opaque, airtight jar.
• Best-before date for unopened bags: printed on each bag.
