Tasting notes & flavour profile
Flavour notes
The set brings together four varieties of coffee beans from Lavazza, in 1 kg bags, to compare the Turin coffee house's blends, from the mildest to the most full-bodied. Gold Selection combines washed Arabica from Central and South America with Robusta: pronounced sweetness, with notes of honey and nuts (intensity 4/10). Super Crema, with Arabica and Robusta from South America and Asia, is smooth, with notes of honey and roasted hazelnut (7/10).
Crema e Aroma produces a dense crema, with notes of milk chocolate, cocoa and dried fruit (8/10). Gran Espresso, with Arabica from Central America and Robusta from South Asia, is the most full-bodied of the four, with notes of cocoa and black pepper (10/10).

In what order should you taste the four coffees?
From the mildest to the most full-bodied: Gold Selection (4/10), then Super Crema (7/10), Crema e Aroma (8/10) and finally Gran Espresso (10/10). To compare them, use the same brewing method and dose.
Which machines can you use these coffee beans with?
With a bean-to-cup machine with a built-in grinder, simply pour the beans into the hopper. With a grinder, you can also use them in a portafilter espresso machine, moka pot, filter coffee maker or cafetière: adjust the grind to suit the brewing method. They are not suitable for capsule machines.
How many cups of coffee does the gift set make?
The four bags contain 4 kg of coffee: enough for around 570 espressos at 7 g per cup, or around 140 per coffee variety.
Can you have the gift set delivered directly to the recipient?
Yes: enter the recipient's address as the delivery address when you order. No invoice is included in the parcel.
How should you store coffee beans?
Keep away from air, moisture, light and heat: after opening, reseal the bag carefully or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight jar and store at room temperature. Avoid the fridge, where coffee absorbs moisture and odours. An unopened bag can be kept until the best-before date printed on the packaging.
