Welcome to Seattle Coffee Gear’s great selection of Lavazza coffee, where you can browse all your favorite blends by this quintessentially Italian coffee roaster. You probably instantly recognize Lavazza, since it’s one of the world’s biggest and most beloved coffee roasters. But did you know that Lavazza is also one of the oldest coffee roasters, too?

For Lavazza Packaging Changes, Lavazza says: "We are constantly reevaluating our portfolio to offer the best assortment, experience, and taste to our customers." - Updates to the design of the packaging is common, if you have any concerns please let us know and we can verify you have the correct item.
For Lavazza's compressed or slightly puffy packaging on whole bean coffee, Lavazza says: "All bags of Lavazza coffee are fitted with a patented one-way valve allowing air and naturally occurring gases to exit the bag, while preventing oxygen from entering. This patented technology preserves freshness and the organoleptic properties of all Lavazza whole bean coffee. Depending on where the bag was placed on the pallet during transport, you may receive either a puffy or compressed bag, however both of the presentations are vacumm sealed."
For pre-ground coffee, Lavazza says: "All bricks of Lavazza coffee are fully sealed when shipped by our warehouse. If you squeeze the brick and no air exits, the seal is fully intact and the brick of coffee is fully sealed and there is no impact on freshness or preservation."

Gran Riserva, Gran Espresso and Super Crema are my favorites!
Love it a lot ! Best on the market
Stronger robust flavor. Love it a lot.
The coffee is fantastic but you missed the promised delivery date by 3 days.
The flavor is smooth. Now my husband is drinking it. Passes his finicky test!
It’s a great full body bean. Works well with our super auto
Gran Riserva is a fine everyday espresso bean for superautomatic machines. It is slightly more bitter and less sweet than many more upscale blends I have tried but it is quite affordable for high volume households like ours. If you make mainly milk drinks then this is probably not an issue.
How long is the shelf life of this coffee? Is stored properly. Thank you.
Can this used to make espresso?? If not what would be a similar taste in an espresso coffee
Yes!
We use this to make espresso every day. Great coffee for that. We use it in our auto DeLongi machine and the dryness of the beans works well to avoid clogging in grinding.
It makes a great espresso.
Oh yes! You will need to grind the beans finely. Very good espresso!!! Another espresso that is great and already ground is lavazza crema e gusto
Yes, it makes an excellent espresso.
Yes. We use a Breville Barista Express Espresso Maker, Model # BES870XL with these whole beans. Most Excellent! :-)
I am looking for the equivalent of Torrefazione Palmero blend whole bean coffee for my Delonghi super automatic espresso machine. Any suggestions?
Lavazza Gran Riserva - Whole Bean 2.2 poundsThis is the coffee of our choice we still use it and can't imagine not drinking this espresso coffee.
Is this non oily bean?
I have to say yes, for most part. I have noticed several oily beans in the 9 bags I have purchased. It has not been a problem in my super-automatic machine.
It has very little oil, almost none. I think it's the best coffee you can find. Specially for drip machines
Yes - I've used in my Saeco Exprellia for years without any clogging issues.
This is a non-oily bean. We've had problems with oily beans in our machine before so we are careful not to buy them. We really love this bean and also the Lavazza Super Crema. Alway excellent.
This bean is not oily. This coffee bean has some oil as do many but never have any issues with oiliness. We use a professional grinder and have never had any issues with excessive oil in our grinder. We love this Lavazza Coffee we have also used other whole bean Lavazza coffees. We love this coffee.
Yes, it works well in my Jura which has a problem with oily beans.
It is. Very similar to Illy.
Non oily. Can't go wrong with Lavazza. Great coffee, great price.
Yes
