The Lavazza Qualità Rossa Ground Coffee Espresso, Arabica and Robusta Medium Roast 500g pack sounds like a great option for those who enjoy a strong, balanced coffee with hints of chocolate and dried fruit. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons to help you decide:
Pros:
- Rich and Flavorful (according to description): The combination of medium roast, Arabica and Robusta beans, and notes of chocolate and dried fruit suggests a full-bodied and flavorful coffee.
- Intensity 5/10: Offers a good balance between strength and bitterness, suitable for those who enjoy a moderate cup of coffee.
- Medium Roasting: Strikes a balance between acidity and flavor for a smooth taste.
- Arabica and Robusta Blend: Arabica beans offer a smoother taste, while Robusta adds strength and crema (the foamy layer on top of espresso).
- Aromatic Notes of Chocolate and Dried Fruit: Hints of sweetness and complexity in the flavor profile.
- 500g Pack: Provides a good amount of coffee for frequent coffee drinkers.
- Lavazza Brand: Reputable brand known for quality coffee.
Cons:
- Limited Flavor Description: “Aromatic notes of chocolate and dried fruit” is a general description. Reviews might be helpful for specific taste notes (acidity, sweetness, bitterness).
- Pre-Ground Coffee: Requires a grinder for brewing (unless you use a grinder setting on a superautomatic machine).
- Potentially More Expensive Per Cup Than Regular Coffee: The upfront cost might be lower, but the price per cup can be higher than freshly brewed coffee, especially if you use a lot of grounds per serving.
Overall, the Lavazza Qualità Rossa Ground Coffee could be a good option for you if:
- Enjoy a strong and flavorful coffee: You appreciate a full-bodied and robust cup.
- Like the taste of chocolate and dried fruit: You enjoy a hint of sweetness and complexity in your coffee.
- Drink coffee regularly: The 500g pack offers a good value.
- Have a grinder or superautomatic machine with grinder: Grinding allows you to control freshness and coarseness.
However, if you:
- Prefer a milder coffee: You might want to consider a lower intensity coffee or a different blend.
- Are on a tight budget: Whole beans can be more expensive than pre-ground coffee, though the cost per cup can be lower in the long run.
- Don’t have a grinder: Grinding is required unless you have a superautomatic machine with a grinder setting.
Here are some additional things to consider:
- Research Online Reviews: See what other users mention about the taste profile (acidity, sweetness, bitterness) and how it compares to other medium roast coffees.
- Grinder: If you don’t have a grinder but want the freshness of whole beans, consider buying a grinder.
- Storage: Store the coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness.
I hope this helps you decide whether Lavazza Qualità Rossa Ground Coffee is a good choice for you!

Taste-wise it offers a rich and full-bodied flavour with a balanced combination of Arabica and Robusta beans. The medium roast brings out the natural sweetness and subtle notes of the coffee.
The aroma is enticing and inviting. It fills the room (even upper floors) with a pleasant and fragrant coffee scent that is sure to awaken your senses.
You can enjoy this in various brewing methods, including espresso machines, French press, and drip coffee makers. I use a traditional stove-top mocha pot and it delivers a consistently delicious cup of coffee.
The 500 g pack is very convenient and ensures that you have a sufficient supply of coffee. The packaging might use some design changes to preserve freshness and flavour. So I transfer the coffee to an airtight container after opening a pack.
Probably the most praisable point would be the excellent value for money. You might find that the same stuff sold in high-street shops and supermarkets is a bit overpriced compared to Amazon.
All in all, Lavazza is known for its commitment to quality, and this is no exception. Highly recommended!
