Italys #1 espresso coffee roasting company, Lavazza, selects the best coffee beans that the world has to offer, and then roasts them to perfection. Lavazza’s signature Italian style roast is much lighter than what you may be accustomed to from American coffee companies. It extracts a more pronounced flavor from the coffee bean and less of the bitterness associated with over-roasting. Because these coffee beans are not oily on the outside, they work exceptionally well in superautomatic espresso machines.
