Description
Lavazza Crema e Aroma Brown Coffee Beans 1kg
Lavazza Crema e Aroma Brown is an Arabica and Robusta blend of roasted whole coffee beans. This listing is for one 1kg bag, not ground coffee or a multi-bag case. The brown-pack version has a medium roast, chocolate aromatic notes and an intensity of 8/10.
It is an option for espresso and milk-based coffee, including cappuccinos and lattes. Whole beans need grinding before brewing unless your coffee machine has a built-in grinder.

Lavazza does not state the Arabica-to-Robusta percentage on its UK retail product page. Intensity is a flavour rating, not a measurement of caffeine per cup.
Chocolate Notes and Milk-Based Coffee
Lavazza describes this as a creamy, aromatic coffee suited to milk recipes. Chocolate is a tasting note of the coffee, rather than a claim that chocolate has been added. The final taste in your cup also depends on the grind, dose, water and brewing method.
For a latte or cappuccino, prepare the espresso first and then add milk in the proportions you prefer. Trying the espresso on its own before adding milk helps you decide whether to adjust the extraction or the amount of milk. These beans can also be used for black coffee; milk is optional.
Grinding and Brewing Crema e Aroma
Espresso and Bean-to-Cup Machines
Use whole beans directly in a bean-to-cup machine’s bean hopper, following the manufacturer’s instructions. For an espresso machine without an integrated grinder, grind a measured dose separately. Start with your machine’s recommended settings and make small adjustments to grind size, keeping other settings consistent while testing.
Moka Pots
Grind the beans for moka brewing and follow your pot’s instructions for filling, heat and cleaning. Do not assume that the same grind setting used for espresso will suit a moka pot. Choose a grinder setting appropriate to the equipment rather than using an arbitrary universal recipe.
Filter Coffee
For filter brewing, grind only the amount you need and use a grind suitable for your brewer. An espresso-fine grind may not suit filter equipment. Measure the coffee and water so that adjustments are repeatable, then change the ratio or grind gradually to match your taste.
Packaging and Storage
The product is sold in a 1kg bag. Once opened, keep the coffee beans in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, away from heat, moisture and strong odours. Open packaging carefully and retain the label so you can refer to the best-before date and any pack-specific storage information.
A 1kg bag’s number of servings depends on your dose: divide 1000g by the grams of coffee used per drink. This is a calculation, not a guaranteed cup yield. Grinding close to brewing lets you prepare only the amount needed for each batch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Crema e Aroma Brown a dark roast?
No. Lavazza specifies medium roast for this brown retail pack. Its 8/10 intensity should not be confused with the roast classification.
Is this the same as Crema e Aroma Blue?
Do not treat Brown and Blue as interchangeable specifications. This page covers the brown retail pack; check the separate product’s label and description when comparing the Blue version.
Are these beans suitable for espresso?
Yes. They can be ground for espresso or used in a compatible bean-to-cup machine. They are not capsules, instant coffee or ready-ground coffee.
How many bags are included?
One 1kg bag per product unit. Increasing the basket quantity changes the number of product units ordered.
Where can I check delivery information?
UK delivery charges and available options are shown at checkout. Check the current options for your address before placing an order; this description does not promise a dispatch time or guaranteed arrival date.
