Lucaffe Classic Coffee

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

A classic Italian espresso, this is a refined blend of 80% Arabica and 20% Robusta beans. It has a soft but full body, and a pleasing aroma with hints of hazelnut. It has a medium creaminess, with tasting notes of sweetness and nuttiness. It is very refined and balanced, and generally just a very good coffee.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

The Lucaffe Classic is perfect for anyone who enjoys a good cup of coffee. It is truly rewarding, and is wonderful to start your day with, paired with a hearty breakfast. It’s also great for after dinner, enjoyed with desserts like cookies or cakes.

QUALITY AND INNOVATION

Lucaffe was founded by Gian Luca Venturelli, and began its life as a small artisan coffee roaster in 1996, on the shores of Lake Garda. It grew rapidly, and became a significant coffee supplier in Italy, and even further expansion brought its headquarters to Carpenedolo (Brescia) in 2004. They can now be found in over 50 countries, including coffee shops and cafes under the Lucaffe name. They also specialize in the innovative packaging of coffee and espresso in paper pods, which are 100% environment-friendly, sustainable, and compostable.

Storage Instructions

Store your coffee in an opaque, odor-free, airtight container in a dry, dark place at a cool room temperature. It’s best to consume coffee grounds within two weeks. Freshly roasted whole beans retain their freshness for up to one month.
