What is Lavazza's darkest, richest espresso blend in a Lavazza Espresso Point cartridge? (top)
Our darkest, heartiest Lavazza Espresso Point blend is the Aroma Club 100% Arabica. It is a full-bodied espresso, which is more acidic due to the oil present in Arabica beans. This espresso is the perfect choice for espresso lovers who enjoy a more European style of espresso.
What is crema? (top)
Crema is the light golden brown foam that sits on top of a well-made espresso. Espresso lovers consider it the "soul" of the brew. During brewing, the oil is extracted from the espresso. The oil, in conjunction with the steam forms a fine layer on the top of the espresso. Crema traps the fine aromatics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the palate. It also keeps the flavors that would otherwise escape, locked in.
Does Lavazza espresso have more caffeine than regular coffee? (top)NO! The full rich taste of Espresso is often mistaken for high caffeine content. Caffeine is water-soluble. Therefore, the caffeine content in the cup is determined by the length of time the coffee grinds are in contact with the water. Since Espresso only takes 30 seconds to brew and a 12-cup pot of American coffeee takes up to 10 minutes, oz per oz, espresso has about 1/2 the caffeine of American coffee.
