Lavazza Expert Gusto Pieno Coffee Beans - 1kg

Lavazza Expert Gusto Pieno Coffee Beans are part of Lavazza's Expert range - a collection of coffee beans designed specifically for office coffee machines, vending and commercial bean-to-cup systems. Supplied in 1kg bags, available as a single bag or in a case of 6.

Product Overview
Gusto Pieno is the near-top of the Lavazza Expert range for intensity - rated 12 out of 13 and built for those who want a seriously strong, full-bodied espresso. An 80% Robusta and 20% Arabica blend from Africa, Asia and South America, it delivers an intensely aromatic cup with a compact crema and distinctive toasty notes of precious wood. Medium to slightly dark roast, with a bold, distinctive flavour that's unmistakably robust. The high Robusta content gives it exceptional body, crema depth and caffeine strength - a coffee that makes its presence felt in the cup. Processed at Lavazza's Torino factory and imported directly from Italy. Packed in high-quality foil bags to preserve freshness. Like all Expert range blends, Gusto Pieno is formulated to maintain its flavour and freshness when stored for extended periods in commercial machines.

What is the Lavazza Expert Range?
The Lavazza Expert range is Lavazza Professional's collection of coffee beans designed for office coffee machines, vending and commercial bean-to-cup systems. Expert range beans are formulated to deliver consistent flavour, reliable machine performance and café-style drinks in busy workplace settings - and to maintain their organoleptic properties (flavour and freshness) even when stored for extended periods in commercial machine hoppers.

Ideal For
Offices, hotels, contract caterers, vending operators and hospitality businesses running commercial bean-to-cup machines or espresso machines where customers want a strong, intense coffee. Gusto Pieno is the right choice for high-caffeine, high-intensity environments - sites where the coffee needs to be bold, distinctive and unmistakable. Suitable for all bean-to-cup coffee machines and coffee machines that take whole beans, as well as vending machines that take coffee beans. If you currently use any other coffee beans in your machine, this is a straight swap.
