Lavazza sources its beans from specific origins and roasts them under carefully controlled conditions. Each blend is composed with care to deliver a consistent cup time after time. That process, combined with sustainable sourcing, explains the price difference compared with more basic coffee brands.

Qualità Oro is mostly Arabica and tastes mild and floral. Qualità Rossa contains more Robusta, which gives it a fuller, more powerful flavour. Rossa sits at a higher intensity than Oro.

Store your Lavazza beans in an airtight bag or container, in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight. Avoid the fridge, as moisture will dull the flavour. Grind the beans just before brewing for the best result in the cup.

For a classic espresso, Qualità Rossa and Super Crema are popular choices. Both deliver a lovely crema and a full-bodied flavour in the cup. Crema e Aroma is a good option if you prefer a particularly bold espresso.

Lavazza is one of the most recognised Italian coffee brands in the world. The company has been roasting coffee for well over a century and is known for consistent quality and clearly identifiable flavour profiles. Lavazza works closely with local coffee farmers and invests in sustainable cultivation.

Sage recommends 100% arabica coffee beans of higher quality that have been recently roasted. According to Sage, the beans should be no more than one month old after roasting. Fresh beans produce good crema, body and flavour with a Sage espresso machine.

For a Sage espresso machine, arabica coffee beans are the most suitable choice. Arabica provides a softer, more complex flavour profile. Robusta is more bitter and contains more caffeine. A blend with a high arabica content can also work well, but pure arabica is the recommended choice for Sage machines.

Sage states that coffee beans should be no more than one month old after roasting. The fresher the bean, the more aroma and the better the crema. At Café du Jour, coffee beans are never roasted more than four weeks before dispatch, so they always arrive fresh.

Yes, single origin coffee beans work well in a Sage Barista Express or a similar model. They deliver a distinctive flavour profile that varies by origin. Note that single origin beans are sometimes lighter roasted, which can affect the crema and body of your espresso.

A medium to dark roast works well for espresso on a Sage machine. This roast level gives a full body, a rich crema and a balanced flavour. Lightly roasted beans are less suitable for espresso: they produce a more acidic, thinner result.

Not all beans are suitable. Always use unflavoured, uncoated roasted coffee beans. Oily beans can clog the grinder, and light-roasted speciality beans can sometimes be too hard for the grinder in some models.

The E6 is an entry-level model with basic functions. The E8 offers more drink options and finer settings, while the WE8 is suited to heavier use and has a larger bean hopper. All three work well with the same Jura coffee beans, though the E8 and WE8 can extract more from complex blends.

Yes, Lavazza beans are suitable for Jura bean-to-cup machines, provided they are plain roasted beans without additives. Choose varieties such as Qualità Rossa or Super Crema for good results.

Start by deciding your taste preference: mild or strong, fruity or earthy. Then pick beans that suit your model’s brewing temperature. A sample pack helps you find the right Jura coffee beans quickly without spending too much.

Yes, Jura offers the Decaffè variant as Jura decaf coffee beans. They are caffeine-free and roasted in the same way as the regular range. They work smoothly in all Jura bean-to-cup machines.
