Espresso Review
Rizz’s Take: Hazelnut, brown sugar, and thick golden crema — Lavazza Super Crema is the home espresso workhorse for cappuccino and latte lovers. The 60/40 Arabica-Robusta blend gives it the crema consistency that pure Arabica blends often lack. Authentic Italian, reliably great, and priced so you can actually use it every day without guilt.
Overview
Lavazza’s Super Crema Medium Roast Espresso is a staple in espresso-loving households. A light-to-medium roast blend of approximately 60% Arabica and 40% Robusta, designed to deliver rich flavor and consistent crema. Sourced from multiple countries across Central and South America, this blend represents reliable, authentic Italian espresso at great value.
Sourcing & Blend
A proprietary blend drawn from 15 global coffee-growing regions, combining Arabica and Robusta beans. The medium roast profile balances richness with manageable acidity. Lavazza’s tradition — established in 1895 — emphasizes sustainable sourcing and quality control, backing every bag with over a century of Italian roasting expertise.
Flavor & Brewing
A creamy, full-bodied espresso with tasting notes of hazelnut, brown sugar, and subtle cocoa undertones. The blend produces a thick, golden crema and holds up beautifully in milk-based drinks like cappuccinos and lattes. Versatile enough for drip, AeroPress, or French press — yielding a smooth, balanced cup with rich sweetness across all methods.
Digestive Comfort
Not marketed as low-acid, but Super Crema’s medium roast and bean origins contribute to moderate acidity — typically easier to digest than lighter roasts. The Robusta content does add an extra caffeine kick, so sensitivity will vary by individual. Those with pronounced acid or caffeine sensitivity may want to explore a pure Arabica option.
Customer Ratings
OnlyCoffeeFans Verdict
Creamy, rich, and reliable without breaking the bank. Thick crema, consistent flavor, and bulk value that makes it the natural daily espresso choice for cappuccino and latte households.
Best for: Home espresso lovers, cappuccino and latte fans, and budget-conscious buyers who want authentic Italian quality at everyday prices.
Pro Tip: For best espresso extraction, use 19–21g of coffee ground to a fine setting and brew at 195–205°F for 25–30 seconds. This brings out Super Crema’s sweet crema, smooth body, and balanced hazelnut and brown sugar flavor at its best.
