Super Crema Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Espresso Roast, Arabica and Robusta Blend, 22 oz Bag

I picked up this big 2.2 lb bag of Lavazza Super Crema because I wanted a reliable everyday coffee that could do double duty in my espresso machine and drip brewer. Right out of the bag, the beans have a nice medium roast aroma—not too strong, not too mild. The blend of Arabica and Robusta gives it a classic Italian espresso vibe with a little bit of body and sweetness, without getting too bitter or intense. Brewing it as an espresso, I got a smooth shot with a decent crema that holds up well under milk drinks like lattes or cappuccinos. And when I switched to a pour-over or drip setup, it still tasted pleasant—balanced and easy to drink with subtle notes (a hint of chocolate/nuts if you pay attention). Some folks say medium roasts like this don’t wow specialty coffee fans, but for the price and bag size, this one’s been really good everyday coffee for home use. ✨ Highlights: Big, budget-friendly bag — great if you drink coffee daily. Medium roast that’s versatile for espresso or regular brew. Smooth and balanced—easy to drink black or with milk. 👍 Good for: Daily use, espresso lovers who don’t want something too bold, households that go through beans fast. ☕ Personal takeaway: It’s not the most complex coffee ever, but it gets the job done with a pleasant flavor and rich aroma. A solid pick if you want dependable, Italian-style espresso beans without breaking the bank

This Lavazza Super Crema coffee arrives fresh and maintains excellent flavor. The medium espresso roast provides a smooth, rich blend of Arabica and Robusta beans that produces a perfect cup every time. The beans are never expired on arrival, which is a significant plus for a subscription product. At this price point, it offers exceptional quality and consistency that I can rely on month after month.

I tend to buy local and fresh and local but thought i'd give this a try as it is well known for a quality espresso shot. I was not disappointed, it lives up to it's name and produces a nice head of crema and it produces excellent espresso, bold but not oily which is perfect for semi-automatic machines. My Rancillio Silvia is manual but I don't plug my Ranciallio Rocky grinder by sticking with beans compatible with semi-automatic. When I come across others that appear to oily, I run them through my burr coffee grinder instead and make drip coffee instead. I normally opt for local coffee shop beans but they have been out recently of the origins I prefer so thought i'd try something different. I wasn't disappointed after a month of espresso pulls so would recommend this product and the price is right.

As someone who enjoys a classic, well-balanced espresso, this blend—which combines Arabica and Robusta beans—has completely impressed me with its consistent quality and flavor profile. The beans are a perfect medium roast, producing a shot that is rich and full-bodied without any harsh bitterness. It lives up to its name, consistently pulling shots with a beautiful, thick, and lasting crema. The official notes mention hints of honey and almond, which ring true, adding a lovely sweetness that works perfectly whether you drink it black or use it as a base for lattes and cappuccinos. Every time I brew a cup using these beans, the aroma and smooth flavor immediately transport me back to sitting at a sidewalk café in Europe. It has that quintessential Italian espresso taste—bold, comforting, and utterly consistent—the kind you find everywhere from Turin to Florence. It truly brings that continental experience right into the kitchen. My only slight observation, and why I didn't give it five stars, is a comment on value in the broader market: while this is a fantastic quality-for-price ratio on Amazon, if you watch the big warehouse or box stores (the ones that sell in bulk), you can occasionally snag these large bags at a steeper discount. However, if you need them quickly and appreciate the convenience of Amazon Prime, this is still an excellent and reliable purchase. Highly recommended for the home barista seeking a genuinely European flavor.

I’ve tried a lot of coffees over the years. I used to switch it up about every three months, always looking for something better. Then I found Lavazza Super Crema and I stopped searching. I knew almost immediately this one was different. And now, I’ve been using it consistently for over a year. That alone says everything. This is the only coffee I drink. Every day, without exception, I make at least one espresso and turn it into my Cuban coffee. It’s part of my morning rhythm. Out of all the coffees I’ve tried, this is still the best I’ve had to date. What stands out most is how creamy and smooth it is. It pulls a thick, beautiful crema and makes an espresso that’s rich and balanced and its not bitter, not harsh, just clean and satisfying. It also works extremely well with the Breville Barista Pro, which is the machine I own. The grind and extraction are consistent, and the results are reliable every single morning. When something becomes part of your daily ritual, it has to earn that place. This one did. If you drink espresso daily, love Cuban-style coffee, or want a dependable whole bean that performs on a home espresso machine, Lavazza Super Crema is absolutely worth it. Over a year later, it’s still my standard.

This is the best price for quality coffee! I took a risk and bought 8 pounds only because the reviews were mostly positive. The taste: Espresso brew= fruity, woodsy, not bitter! Coffee brew= smooth but still strong enough to satisfy, not bitter. Quality: Two dates on bag, manufacture, and best before. Transparency is important to me, many coffees don't disclose dates, this one does. Although this batch was made 4 months ago, the quality is still there. Conclusion: Great quality, great taste, fair price. I will try more varieties from this company in the future.

I purchased Lavazza Super Crema because it is highly recommended for fully automatic espresso machines, and it did not disappoint. The beans produce a smooth, well-balanced espresso with no bitter aftertaste. The flavor is pleasant and consistent, and it creates a rich, creamy layer of crema with each cup. The beans also did not seem as oily as other medium-roast coffee beans I’ve purchased in the past, which had clogged my espresso machine. Overall, it’s a great choice for anyone looking for reliable performance and a smooth-tasting espresso from a fully automatic machine. I will definitely buying this again!!

I’ve been drinking this Lavazza Super Crema for a while now, and I have to say, it’s bean a long time since I’ve had a cup this good. I was going to write this review yesterday, but I decided to wait... you know, better latte than never! Now, being in the CST timezone, my internal clock usually starts ticking around 6:00 AM. But before I have my first cup of this liquid gold, I’m basically a zombie. My wife asked me this morning if I’d seen the cat, and I told her, "Honey, I haven't even seen my own face in the mirror yet. I'm feeling a little depresso." But then, I heard the grinder start. That’s the sound of progress, folks! I love the "daily grind," especially when it involves these whole beans. Here’s why this coffee is the "cream" of the crop: 1. The Crema is Super: They call it "Super Crema" for a reason. It’s so smooth and velvety. I told my kids this coffee was "super," and they asked if it had a cape. I said, "No, but it’s definitely a lifesaver!" It’s got a great personality—it really knows how to espresso itself. 2. The Flavor: It’s a medium roast, which is perfect because I’m a medium-sized guy with a medium-sized appetite for puns. It’s not bitter at all. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. It’s so friendly, I’m surprised it doesn't wave at me from the mug. 3. The Energy Boost: After one cup, I’m ready to tackle the world. Or at least tackle the laundry pile. I told my wife I felt like a "whole new bean," and she told me to go mow the lawn. Careful what you wish for—this caffeine kick is no joke! 4. Italian Roots: Since it’s Italian, I tried to tell a joke about Rome, but I didn't have enough grounds to support it. Let’s just say it’s "A-mugs-ing." I used to use pre-ground coffee, but then I realized I was just being lazy. Now that I’m grinding my own Lavazza beans, I realize that I’ve finally found my filter—and it’s definitely 5 stars. Pros: Tastes like a vacation in Italy, makes the house smell like a professional cafe. Cons: I’ve ran out of coffee puns. Just kidding, I have a whole latte them left. Bottom line: If you don't buy this coffee, you're making a huge-a mistake-a! It’s simply tea-rrible to drink anything else. (Wait, wrong beverage...) Stay grounded, my friends!
