Taste Profile
The Lavazza Vending 12kg blend is a balanced Arabica-Robusta blend calibrated by the Lavazza Professional division for vending machines and intensive automatic bean-to-cup coffee machines . In the cup, you'll find the signature Lavazza medium roast : dominant notes of chocolate and roasted nuts (hazelnut, almond), with a round body and a dense crema that compensates well for machines without pre-infusion. The bitterness is present but clean , the acidity subtle . A versatile blend for the hospitality industry that delivers a consistent and reassuring cup —the Lavazza promise since 1895. The 12kg format, plus accessories, delivers the coffee and consumables needed to equip a busy break room in a single order

How to store an opened 12 kg bag?
Best practices after opening a large format :
- Carefully reseal the bag (Lavazza heat-sealable strip) or transfer the grains into a large capacity opaque airtight jar or a sealed machine hopper.
- Room temperature (18-22 °C), away from light and any heat source.
- Avoid the refrigerator, where the coffee would absorb moisture and odors.
- Recommended stock rotation : ideally consume within 4-6 weeks of opening. Beyond this time, the aromas gradually fade (lipid oxidation + loss of volatile essential oils).
An unopened 12 kg bag can be stored until the indicated best before date (generally 18-24 months from roasting).
Economy vs. 6 kg bags + separate accessories?
The XXL 12 kg kit + accessories offers logistical and volume savings vs separate order of 2 bags 6 kg + accessories à la carte — saving −5% at the current price.
The kit also offers a practical :
- One single order will last 4-8 weeks of intensive consumption.
- Guaranteed aromatic uniformity — same roasting batch across all 12 kg.
- Office accessories sized to the volume of the cafe — no mid-course accessory break.
For home/small office use without accessories, choose the bags alone: 3 kg or 6 kg.
