Super Crema flavour profile

This blend is aimed at traditional Italian espresso, with a pronounced aromatic profile and rich crema. The flavour notes describe the brewed coffee; they are not a claim that honey, sugar or nuts have been added to the beans.

Use those descriptors to compare coffee blends, then consider how you normally drink your coffee. A straight espresso, a longer drink and a cup with milk will not taste identical. Preparation matters too: changing the grind or recipe can change the result even when the coffee beans stay the same.

Choosing beans for an espresso machine

Check your equipment before choosing a whole-bean pack. A manual espresso machine needs separately ground coffee, while a compatible bean-to-cup machine can grind beans internally. Follow its instructions for filling the hopper, selecting settings and cleaning. These beans are not capsules, pods or instant coffee.

If you do not own a grinder or a machine with one built in, browse the ground coffee range and check each product’s preparation guidance. A name or brand alone does not tell you whether a coffee format fits your brewer.

Grinding and brewing Super Crema

Start with a consistent espresso recipe

Use your espresso machine’s recommended basket and dose as a starting point. Grind the amount you need for the next preparation. Keep the dose consistent while adjusting grind size in small steps, and observe how the shot flows before changing other settings.

Adjust to your taste

If the result is not to your liking, check the grind, preparation and equipment rather than expecting the blend to correct every brewing issue. Record a setting that works for your machine so you can return to it. There is no single grind number that applies to every grinder.

Espresso, cappuccino and latte

An espresso can be served on its own or used as the coffee base for a cappuccino or latte. Adjust the amount of milk to your preference and use your machine’s instructions for steaming. Milk preparation is separate from choosing the coffee beans.

Storing a 1kg bag of whole beans

Store opened coffee in a tightly closed, food-safe container away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. Check the pack for its best-before date and storage instructions. Choose a pack size that suits how quickly you use coffee, and avoid grinding the whole bag simply for convenience.

Lavazza Super Crema FAQs

Is Super Crema a dark roast?

No. Lavazza specifies medium roast for this blend. Check the roast level when comparing it with other products rather than judging it by the pack colour.

Is the Arabica and Robusta percentage specified?

The manufacturer’s UK product specification names both types but does not give a ratio. This listing therefore does not state a percentage split.

Can I use these beans in an AeroPress or French press?

Whole beans cannot go directly into those brewers; they must be ground to suit the equipment. Lavazza’s stated preparation for Super Crema is espresso, which is the focus of the guidance on this page. Follow your brewer’s instructions for other methods.

Where can I compare coffee beans and pack sizes?

Browse our coffee beans selection. Compare the format, pack quantity and price per kilogram, then check checkout for the total including delivery. Do not assume two Lavazza products have the same composition or roast because their names are similar.
