• Lavazzas expertise in the coffee roasting
  process means that specific roasting cycles can
  be formulated, combining time and temperature to
  enhance the particular qualities of each blend.

3

• With roasting, the coffee beans undergo nothing
  short of a metamorphosis they change colour,
  become lighter, increase in volume and acquire
  more aroma. It is precisely this exposure to high
  temperatures that allows the beans to develop
  their aromatic qualities.

• At 100C they turn a golden colour and a smell of
  roasting starts to permeate
• Beyond 150-180C they become larger, shiny and
  brown in colour
• Between 200-230C roasting reaches its optimum
  level and the coffee takes on its distinctive
  fragrance
• Once it has been extracted from the roaster, the
  coffee is brought quickly to room temperature
  with currents of air and vaporised cold water

5

• short cycles for Robusta, which bring out its
  body and minimize its woodiness
• average cycles for Arabica, to intensify the
  fragrance and sweetness of the blends of coffee
• the espresso blends require long roasting cycles,
  which are able to optimize machine performance,
  so as to achieve a creamy and well-blended
  espresso

6

• The Research Development department has
  identified convection technology as being the
  best method for a uniform roasting process that
  respects the coffees characteristics.

7

• The degree of grinding (fine medium coarse)
  alters the coffees resistance to the flow of
  water influencing the extraction speed and hence
  the final sensory characteristics of the beverage
  in the cup

8

• The ground Lavazza Coffee blends meet these
  criteria and always guarantee the best result for
  each system used. Away from home, where it is the
  barista who is responsible for coffee grinding,
  we are committed to ensuring that you obtain the
  best Italian espresso with Lavazza Coffee
  Training Center courses dedicated to
  professionals.

• Ground coffee is very delicate and deteriorates
  rapidly when it comes into contact with air,
  light, heat and humidity. Before packaging, it is
  stored in controlled atmosphere environments.
  Coffee packaging then takes place with
  state-of-the-art materials and techniques,
  designed to preserve Lavazza Coffee quality in
  the long-term.
