Review: The morning fuel every busy parent needs - Between school drop-offs and work, my morning coffee is non-negotiable, and this Lavazza Gran Crema is my current favorite. Since it’s a whole bean, the freshness is noticeable the second you open the bag—the aroma is incredible. It produces a really rich, velvety crema that makes my home-brewed lattes feel like they’re from a high-end cafe. The flavor is smooth and bold without that bitter, burnt aftertaste you get with some espresso beans. It’s a medium-roast that packs enough punch to wake me up but stays smooth enough to drink black if I’m in a rush. If you have a home espresso machine, these are worth the buy.
Review: Lavazza Espresso Barista Gran Crema Whole Bean Coffee Blend, Medium. That's good coffee. - **Lavazza Espresso Barista Gran Crema Whole Bean Coffee Blend, Medium Espresso Roast, 2.2 LB (35.2 Ounce)** **Brand: Lavazza** I’ve been using the Lavazza Espresso Barista Gran Crema Whole Bean Coffee Blend for several weeks, and it’s become a regular part of my morning routine. The medium espresso roast delivers a beautifully balanced flavor that sits right between bold and smooth. The blend of Arabica beans from Brazil and Honduras with African Robusta adds a rich depth, and I can taste subtle notes of dark chocolate and spice in every cup. Whether I use my espresso machine or moka pot, the aroma fills the kitchen with that unmistakable café-quality scent that Lavazza is known for. The crema this coffee produces is outstanding—thick, velvety, and consistent every time. I find that the beans grind evenly and produce a strong but not bitter shot. When I steam milk for cappuccinos or lattes, this blend pairs perfectly, creating a creamy texture and full-bodied flavor without any burnt or harsh tones. It’s versatile enough that I’ve also used it in a French press, and the result was still rich and satisfying, which isn’t always the case with espresso blends. What I appreciate most is Lavazza’s consistency and quality control. Every bag I’ve opened has smelled fresh, with no stale or flat beans. The resealable coffee product packaging helps maintain that freshness, which is important when buying a 2.2-pound bag. It’s also a great value considering the quality you get for around $21. For anyone who wants a dependable, authentic Italian espresso experience at home without spending a fortune, this blend is hard to beat. **Pros:** ✅ Balanced medium roast with smooth, rich flavor ✅ Produces excellent, creamy crema for espresso drinks ✅ Works well with espresso machines, moka pots, and French presses ✅ Fresh, aromatic beans in resealable packaging ✅ Great value for premium Italian coffee **Cons:** ❌ Slightly too mild for those who prefer very dark roasts ❌ Can taste a bit bitter if brewed too strong ❌ Product packaging could use a one-way valve for better long-term freshness

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how is this compared to the Lavazza Super Crema Espresso?  which is better?**
A: I like this one better. I tried both drip and espresso. A lot richer. I got it from Costco. $12.99 for 2.2lb bag.

**Q: How old were the beans you were delivered? Was it roasted more than a month ago?**
A: Lavazza uses a Nitrogen packing method that keeps the beans fresh for a VERY long time. I got a bag of Gran Crema and it brewed (espresso) at what looked like a 1-week age (which is about the sweet spot for espresso anyways).

**Q: Which roast is best for lattes?**
A: I think it depends on your taste. I don't like a really dark, burnt tasting roast myself, so I use the medium roast every day for the best cappuccinos and lattes. Really rich, full flavor. Yum!

**Q: How does it compare to super crema? Is it lighter in taste, more bold flavor or more deep chocolate taste? I'm a big fan of the super crema :)**
A: The question asked comes under the Super Crema version. So it taste like the Super Crema.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth & Creamy Espresso
*by A***R on January 10, 2026*

This is my third bag of the Barista Gran Crema, I love it both for making espresso in my Gaggia pro and also for a coarse grind when I want to use my press. I find this to make a very smooth espresso, not too bitter and with a stable crema that isn't too heavy like the Super Crema tends to be. I did notice this bag had a bit of a musky scent when I opened it up, but the roast date is recent and after putting the grounds in my own container that diminished and the brew tastes fine. This is a good choice.
