Espresso Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Roast, 100% Arabica, 2.2 lb Bag

I’ve been using Lavazza Espresso Whole Bean Coffee (Medium Roast, 100% Arabica) for a while now, and it never disappoints. The aroma is incredible as soon as you open the bag—fresh, rich, and inviting. The flavor is perfectly balanced: smooth, slightly sweet, and full-bodied without any bitterness. It produces a beautiful crema every time and works wonderfully in my espresso machine, as well as for cappuccinos and lattes. The medium roast is just right—not too dark, not too light—making it versatile for daily use. The large 2.2 lb bag is also great value and stays fresh when properly stored. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality espresso bean with authentic Italian flavor, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended for both casual drinkers and serious coffee lovers!

Exceptional value and great tasting coffee. I enjoy this both as an espresso and drip coffee. Lots of crema when brewed as espresso with a very smooth, creamy mouth feel and chocolate notes on the palate. Never harsh or bitter, this is one of my favorite blends. There are other, far more expensive, so called specialty coffees that use "exotic" beans and they are far less enjoyable. You don't have to spend more money to get great tasting coffee.

This is the only coffee I use, ground fresh for every cup. I work with both Arabica and Robusta beans here, and it completely overturned my long-held skepticism about Robusta. When handled well, it adds structure, depth, and a beautiful crema without overpowering the cup. The profile is anything but flat: smooth and well-rounded on the palate, with a gentle natural fruitiness and a clean finish. The blend shows real balance — body without bitterness, richness without heaviness. Each bean plays a role, creating a layered, cohesive cup rather than a one-note brew. This is thoughtful, well-crafted coffee with real character. It’s a rare example of Robusta being used intentionally and intelligently — not as filler, but as a structural element that elevates the entire cup. In the U.S., I genuinely won’t drink anything else. For those interested in the beans themselves: Arabica contributes aromatics, sweetness, and acidity; Robusta adds body, crema, and strength when properly processed. Other notable varieties include Liberica (bold and aromatic), Excelsa (bright and fruity), Typica (clean and classic), and Bourbon (balanced and sweet). Great coffee is about understanding how beans work together — and this blend gets it right.

I purchased this with the thought that it would be robust and strong. Anyone considering to try this item, I strongly suggest reading the comments first before committing. Having now reviewed the comments, I agree with most. It is a mild, smooth taste, with no bitterness. But, not even having a robust flavor.(my opinion) My preparation in the future will be with reduced water to bean ratio. Again….this is a smooth, mild coffee with no bitterness…my opinion.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cafe-Grade Beans, Home-Brew Swagger Traditionally Balanced Espresso Whole Bean Review The medium-roast whole beans from Lavazza deliver that authentic café espresso backbone, mastered decades before third-wave trends turned coffee into interpretive performance art. This 2.2 lb bag of 100% Arabica beans produces a cup that’s smooth, fragrant, and perfectly structured— enough body for real espresso depth, enough balance for everyday sipping sanity. The flavor lands in that classic Italian sweet spot: warm cocoa whispers, gentle nut tones, and a mellow brightness that never screams acidity or burnt roast manifesto. Grinding these beans is a pleasure too— consistent size, no oily residue overload, and no grinder clogs staging a protest. I’ve used them in espresso and drip brewers, and each time the result was creamy, aromatic, and very satisfying, especially when I want a “grown-up coffee moment” without sugar-driven theatrics. ☕ Best for: Home espresso shots with café credibility Lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, and milk-based masterpieces Daily brewing rituals that need balance over bitterness Coffee minimalists who respect tradition 👍 Pros: ✔ True medium-roast espresso flavor ✔ 100% Arabica, wild aroma profile ✔ Consistent, grinder-friendly beans ✔ Creamy espresso extraction ✔ Great for black or milk drinks ✔ Bulk 2.2 lb size is value-smart ⚠ Cons / Tips: • Medium roast = balanced bold, not charcoal-lava dark— for ultra-dark diehards, choose darker roasts. • Espresso beans love freshness— store in an airtight container after opening for peak aroma longevity. • Don’t grind all at once— keep beans whole until needed (espresso tastes better when it has a little mystery left). Bottom line: If you want a trusted, traditional espresso bean that brings café-level flavor to your home without bitterness drama, these beans are a 5-star pantry staple. Smooth, dependable, timeless. Would reorder without hesitation! 😎☕🫘👏✅

Good but not that great for flat white or cappuccinos.

nice taste my third purchase

EL CAFÉ ES DE BUEN AROMA Y CALIDAD, NO ES AMARGO Y SI EXPRESSO

We really are dark roast fans but this one has a good rich flavour for a medium roast.

Excellent
