Lavazza Caffe Espresso is made of 100% Arabica coffee beans with a fragrant and aromatic taste that’s ideal for espresso and long coffee, or espresso with additional water. For more than 100 years, Lavazza has been providing fresh, quality Italian espresso to the world. In the early 1900’s, it was Luigi Lavazza who invented the concept of the “blend,” the art of mixing coffee from different origins to create harmonious and delicious products.
