Flavour profile
The Lavazza Vending 12 kg blend is a balanced Arabica-Robusta blend developed by the Lavazza Professional division for heavy use in vending machines and automatic bean-to-cup machines. In the cup, it delivers the signature Lavazza medium roast: dominant notes of chocolate and roasted nuts (hazelnut, almond), with a rounded body and dense crema that works well to compensate for machines without pre-infusion. The bitterness is pronounced but clean, while the acidity is subtle. A versatile hospitality blend that delivers a consistent, reassuring cup — the Lavazza promise since 1895. The 12 kg format + accessories provides, in a single order, the coffee and consumables needed to equip a busy break room.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is included in this XXL 12 kg kit?
The kit contains 4 items:
- 12 kg of Lavazza Crema e Aroma Expert coffee beans (12 bags of 1 kg) — balanced Arabica-Robusta blend tailored to hospitality use / vending machines / professional bean-to-cup machines (intensity 8/10).
- 4 oz (12 cl) paper espresso cups — XXL quantity matched to a volume of 1 500 espressos.
- 4 g sugar sticks — standard office format, in a matching quantity.
- FSC wooden stirrers — an eco-friendly alternative to plastic spoons.
In a single order, the kit provides everything needed to equip a busy break room or stock an office vending machine in a large company. Alternative sizes: 3 kg bag on its own or 6 kg bag on its own.
Who is this XXL 12 kg kit + accessories for?
The XXL kit is designed for organisations with high consumption that need a complete turnkey supply solution — typically 30–50 daily users or more. Uses include:
- Large company / XXL office (30–50+ employees) — consumption of ~60–100 espressos/day, lasting 4–6 weeks.
- Moderate to heavy hospitality use (bistro, brasserie, hotel rated 3–4 stars, tea room) — continuous service, 100–200 espressos/day.
- Office vending machine in a large company — busy self-service break room.
- Large coworking space / university campus — machine shared by 50+ people.
For lighter use, choose the 6 kg bag on its own. For very high consumption, consider several kits or a recurring subscription (contact the Cafemalin business team).
Compatible with bean-to-cup machines?
This Lavazza Vending blend is perfectly suited to automatic bean-to-cup machines and heavy-duty vending machines. Typical compatible machines:
- Professional bean-to-cup machines: WMF (WMF 5000S, 9000S, Espresso), Franke (A400, A600, A800), Rancilio Classe series, Nuova Simonelli, Faema, Rocket.
- Vending machines: Necta (Krea, Kanguro), Rheavendors, Sagoma, Wega.
- Bean-to-cup machines for heavy home use: De'Longhi (Magnifica, Dinamica, Eletta), Jura (E, S, Z, ENA, GIGA), Melitta (Barista, LatteSelect), Philips (LatteGo, 5500).
Recommended settings: grind selector medium 6–7/10, dose 8 g, extraction ~25–30 s. On large vending machines / volumetric percolators, adjust according to the texture of the crema produced.
How many cups does a 12 kg bag make?
The yield depends on the dose per cup:
- Short espresso (7 g/cup) : ~1 714 cups per 12 kg bag.
- Standard espresso (8 g/cup) : ~1 500 cups per bag.
- Long espresso / lungo (10 g/cup) : ~1 200 cups per bag.
- Filter coffee machine (60 g/l, equivalent to 12 g per 200 ml) : ~1 000 cups per bag.
With typical XXL office use of 80 espressos/day, the 12 kg kit lasts around 4 weeks. With moderate hospitality use of 150 espressos/day, this falls to 2 weeks. Recommended ordering schedule: place your order 2–3 weeks before supplies run out.
How should you store an opened 12 kg bag?
Best practice after opening a large pack:
- Reseal the bag carefully (Lavazza heat-sealable strip) or transfer the beans to a large 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.
- Recommended stock rotation: ideally use within 4–6 weeks at most after opening. Beyond this, the aromas gradually fade (lipid oxidation + loss of volatile essential oils).
An unopened 12 kg bag keeps until the stated best-before date (usually 18-24 months after roasting).
Savings compared with 6 kg bags + separate accessories?
The XXL 12 kg kit + accessories offers logistical and volume savings compared with ordering 2 bags of 6 kg and individually selected accessories separately — a saving of −5% at current prices.
The kit also offers practical benefits:
- A single order for 4–8 weeks of heavy consumption.
- Guaranteed flavour consistency — the same roasting batch across all 12 kg.
- Office accessories supplied in quantities matched to the coffee volume — no running out of accessories halfway through.
For home or small-office use without accessories, choose the bags on their own: 3 kg or 6 kg.
