Lavazza
Lavazza began in 1895, when Luigi Lavazza opened a Turin roastery built on one idea, the blend, so that coffee for the home stayed consistent from bag to bag. We stock the core blends, Espresso Italiano Classico, Qualita Oro and Qualita Rossa, as beans and ground, with decaf and capsules alongside, because a house coffee should taste the same in March as in October.

About Lavazza
Lavazza is the Turin coffee house that began in 1895, when Luigi Lavazza opened a roastery in the historic centre of the city. His idea was the blend: when coffee for the home varied from bag to bag, he combined origins for a more balanced, consistent taste. Formally established in 1927, it is still based in Turin and chaired by Giuseppe Lavazza, of the family's fourth generation.
For a moka pot, a cafetiere or a bean-to-cup machine, Classico and Qualita Oro are the natural starting points, Oro the more aromatic of the two. Qualita Rossa is the one to reach for when milk is going in, and it takes a dark chocolate biscuit better than anything sweeter.
