Crema e Gusto is one of Lavazza's most recognizable blends, created from a carefully selected blend of Arabica and Robusta beans, designed for those seeking a bold yet balanced espresso. The intense roasting enhances a bitter flavor profile with distinct chocolate notes, a combination that has won over coffee lovers around the world over the years.

The 250g ground format is designed for practical, everyday use, suitable for both traditional moka pots and other finely ground preparation methods, for those who want to bring the typical taste of Italian espresso to their cup without complications. Being a vegetarian product, it also adapts to different dietary habits without compromising on quality.

Lavazza traces its roots back to 1895, when Luigi Lavazza, a Brazilian coffee enthusiast, opened his first store in the heart of Turin. Since then, the brand has built an international reputation based on quality and innovation, achieving a milestone few other coffee brands can boast: in 2015, Lavazza supplied the coffee for the first espresso machine ever installed on the International Space Station, thus taking true Italian espresso off the planet.

With Crema e Gusto, Lavazza brings this legacy of tradition and innovation directly into Italian homes, offering a blend designed for those who don't want to give up the authentic taste of Italian coffee in their everyday routine.
