Lavazza Top Class Whole Bean Coffee Blend, Medium Espresso Roast Bag, 2.2 Pound (Pack of 1), Authentic Italian, Blended and roasted in Italy, Full bodied with smooth and balanced flavor

Want some super dark and rich espresso beans? We've got a Gaggia Velasca machine, and Lavazza beans are perfectly roasted, giving us the perfect cup of coffee. These beans are a great deal, use what you need, and stay fresh. The quality, texture, and size of the beans make a perfect cup of coffee.

Love this flavor coffee, tastes fresh and big bag for price. Has chocolate undertones. Dark and bold flavor.

Great for espresso, not overpowering, but plenty of flavor

i do all the coffee snob steps... o2 outgas storage whole beans, mist beans before burr grind, bloom grounds in hot water, french press with boil water (wait 5min before pour), thick paper filter polish pour through, etc. so i know i'm getting the most of what a bean has to offer. the resulting coffee i got from top class red was intensity=6 on the Lavazza scale, no bitter, not ashen, robust coffee flavor that will stand up to those who dilute with milk and sweet, with cocoa notes that were sweet and delightful. i can't recommend it enough - after trying a dozen other Lavazza medium beans (i live 6 NYC blocks from an in house gourmet coffee importer and roaster). i usually like buying something next i have not tried yet, but if i catch this 2lbs red bag under $18 again, i would restock it without hesitation. photo is of top class red beans used for a 1L batch of coffee.

Just received my most recent shipment. I noticed that the manufacturing date was 08/10/2025!!. Is this normal?? Not certain I will purchase this item again!!

After going through about ten different expresso roasts for use in my Breville Barista Express, I found this coffee to offer the right balance and complexity I sought in an espresso. It brews a nice standalone double shot and also holds up well when I prefer cappuccino. For what it's worth off-topic, I use Costco's H/H for cappuccinos and the grind will need to be dialed in to your machine and extraction preference. Seicento and Lavazza Gran Reserva are also very good alternatives, but IMO this tops both for overall consistency, flavor profile and low acidicy.

Excelente

Now that’s good coffee!

Ottimo

C'est un mélange de Robusta ét d'arabisa qui reste léger tout en ayant un arôme fort.

Great tasting, really good value, consistently a good cup of coffee. Balanced strength with really nice flavours.

Ein Genuss für Kaffeeliebhaber !

Este es el cuarto café que pruebo de Lavazza, de lejos el mejor que he probado, aunque la envoltura tiene unos consejos de extracción mi configuración es la siguiente: 18g de café, aplico con un atomizador 4 disparos de agua para evitar estática, luego uso un molino starseeker edge en el nivel 7.4, posteriormente uso un WDT para remover grumos y finalmente uso un tamper de 25lb para compactar, luego coloco un pucksreeen de IMS, de canasta uso IMS DLH25 y un porta filtro sin fondo de la marca normcore. La extracción suele estar entre 20-30s, uso una cafetera Delonghi la especialista, si mantengo el rango 2:1 el café suele salir más aceitoso y menos amargo, sin embargo prefiero extraerlo a 80ml que a ~40ml. El café tiene notas a chocolate amargo y frutos secos, en boca el sabor es fuerte y profundo sin embargo no es un sabor amargo, depende mucho de la molienda las notas que tome, vale mucho la pena, recién molido igual desprende muy buen aroma, sin duda es un gusto indulgente que me doy de vez en cuando, 100% recomendable lo volveré a comprar.
