Product Overview
You know it by its colour: red, like the Italian passion for coffee. Qualita Rossa is Lavazza's classic everyday espresso blend - rich, full-bodied and built for all-day drinking. A carefully selected combination of Arabica beans from South America with African and Indian Robustas, it delivers a warm golden crema, an aromatic smooth flavour and a well-rounded balance between dried fruits and soft chocolate. Medium roast, with fruity and chocolate aromatic notes and a finish that works equally well black or through milk. Processed at Lavazza's Torino factory and imported directly from Italy, packed in high-quality foil bags to preserve freshness.

Ideal For
Offices, cafes, restaurants, hotels and hospitality venues looking for a dependable, crowd-pleasing Italian espresso blend. Qualita Rossa is a strong, lively espresso that works well as a straight black coffee and makes a great base for cappuccinos and lattes. Its full body and chocolate-fruit profile make it a reliable choice for sites serving a wide range of customers throughout the day. 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.

FAQs

What is the difference between Lavazza Qualita Rossa and Qualita Oro?
Qualita Rossa is the richer, more full-bodied blend - an Arabica and Robusta mix with fruity and chocolate notes, a warm golden crema and a bold, decisive character. Qualita Oro is a smoother, more aromatic 100% Arabica blend with floral and fruity notes and a lighter body. Both are medium roast. In practical terms, Rossa is the more classic, everyday Italian-style espresso - rounder, deeper and more chocolatey. Oro is the more refined option, smoother and more delicate on the palate. Choose Rossa if you want a dependable, crowd-pleasing coffee with more body.

What is the difference between Lavazza Qualita Rossa and Super Crema?
Both are Arabica and Robusta blends at medium roast, but they have distinct characters. Super Crema is a medium-light roast with hazelnut and brown sugar notes, known for its silky texture and performance in milk drinks. Qualità Rossa is a fuller, richer blend with chocolate and dried fruit notes and a bolder, more classic Italian espresso profile. Rossa works well black or with milk; Super Crema is particularly well suited to lattes and cappuccinos.
