Description
Lavazza Dek Decaf Coffee Beans 500g
Lavazza Dek decaf coffee beans are decaffeinated roasted whole beans in a 500g bag. This listing covers the blue professional Dek pack: an Arabica and Robusta blend with a medium-light roast. Lavazza identifies fruity, roasted cereal and winey aromatic notes for this version.
These decaffeinated coffee beans need grinding before brewing, unless you use a compatible bean-to-cup machine with a built-in grinder. One product unit contains one 500g bag, equivalent to 0.5kg; it is not a 1kg bag or a multi-bag case.

Decaffeinated Does Not Mean Caffeine-Free
Lavazza specifies a carbon dioxide (CO2) decaffeination process for Dek. Decaf coffee contains less caffeine than regular coffee, but can still contain some caffeine. This product should not be described as caffeine-free or guaranteed to contain zero caffeine.
No product-specific caffeine amount per cup is stated here. Serving size and preparation matter when comparing drinks, and a general estimate for decaf should not be treated as a laboratory result for this particular bag. The decaffeination method is separate from an organic certification or a health claim.
Brewing Lavazza Dek Coffee Beans
Espresso Machines
For a conventional espresso machine, grind a measured dose appropriate to your basket and follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Use a grind suitable for espresso, then adjust gradually to match the extraction and taste you prefer. Change one setting at a time so you can judge its effect.
With a bean-to-cup machine, use the whole-bean hopper rather than the compartment for pre-ground coffee. Follow the machine’s instructions for grinder settings, cleaning and changing beans. Prepare only the amount of coffee needed for your drink or batch.
Moka Pots
Lavazza also identifies moka preparation for Dek. Grind the beans for your moka pot and follow its instructions for filling, heat and cleaning. Do not assume an espresso grinder setting is automatically suitable for a moka pot. You can drink the brewed coffee black or add milk according to your preference.
Storage and Packaging
Keep the coffee in a cool, dry place, away from heat, moisture and strong odours. After opening, use a tightly closed container and follow the storage information on the packaging. Retain the bag so you can refer to its best-before date and batch information.
A best-before date is not a roast date, and this listing does not claim that the beans are roasted to order. The number of drinks from a 500g bag depends on the dose used: divide 500g by the grams of coffee per preparation to estimate your own yield.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lavazza Dek the same as every Lavazza Decaf blend?
No. Lavazza sells different decaf formats and variants. This page describes the blue professional Dek whole-bean pack, not ground coffee, capsules or the separate retail Decaf version. Check the exact product when comparing roast and flavour details.
Are these beans already ground?
No. You need a grinder or a compatible machine with an integrated grinder. They are not instant coffee.
How much coffee is included?
One 500g bag per product unit. Increasing the basket quantity changes the number of units ordered.
Where can I check UK delivery options?
