Lavazza Vending 6 kg kit

The 6 kg bag is the intermediate size in the Lavazza Vending range — tailored for:

• Vending machine in a medium-sized office (15–30 users, ~40–80 espressos/day) — lasts ~3–5 weeks.
• Professional bean-to-cup machine for moderate hospitality use (bistro, hotel with a star rating of 3, neighbourhood brasserie) — lasts 2–3 weeks at 50–100 espressos/day.
• Busy self-service coffee station (large shop reception area, company lobby).
• Medium-sized coworking space — shared machine for 15–25 people.

For lighter use, choose the 3 kg bag. For heavier use, choose the 12 kg kit + accessories (with cups + sugars + stirrers).

This Lavazza Vending blend is perfectly suited to automatic bean-to-cup machines with integrated grinders. Typical compatible machines:

• Heavy home / semi-professional use: De'Longhi (Magnifica Evo, Dinamica, Eletta Explore), Jura (E, S, Z, ENA, GIGA), Melitta (Caffeo, Barista, LatteSelect), Krups (Evidence, Intuition), Philips (LatteGo, 2200–5500), Saeco.
• Vending machines / moderate professional use: Necta (Krea, Kanguro), Rheavendors, Sagoma, Wega, WMF (WMF 5000S / 9000S), Franke (A400, A600).

Recommended setting: grind selector medium 6–7/10, 8 g dose, extraction ~25–30 s for a 30–40 ml espresso. Adjust according to the texture of the crema produced.

The yield depends on the dose per cup:

• Short espresso (7 g/cup) : ~857 cups per 6 kg bag.
• Standard espresso (8 g/cup) : ~750 cups per bag.
• Long espresso / lungo (10 g/cup) : ~600 cups per bag.
• Filter coffee machine (60 g/l, equivalent to 12 g per 200 ml) : ~500 cups per bag.

With typical medium-sized office use of 40 espressos/day, a 6 kg bag lasts around 4–5 weeks. For heavier use (large vending machine, hospitality), consider the 12 kg kit + accessories.

Best practices after opening:

• Reseal the bag carefully (Lavazza heat-sealable strip) or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight container or an airtight machine hopper.
• Room temperature (18-22 °C), away from light and any heat source.
• Avoid the fridge, where the coffee would absorb moisture and odours.
• Ideally use within 4–6 weeks for optimal aroma (average office use).

An unopened 6 kg bag keeps until the stated best-before date (usually 18-24 months after roasting).

The single 6 kg format offers:

• Logistical savings — one order preparation, one delivery, one package.
• Roast consistency — the same batch throughout the bag, for complete consistency in the cup.

By contrast, two separate 3 kg bags offer:

• Preserved freshness — the second bag stays sealed while you use the first (useful for moderate consumption of 2–3 weeks per bag).

Your choice depends on how quickly you use the coffee: if you use 6 kg in less than 4 weeks, choose this single-bag format. If your consumption spans 8 weeks or more, choose 2 × 3 kg bags.
