Anyone know where ( Other than Germany ) can I buy 1kg bags of Lavazza crema e gusto beans . Or ,is there a very similar alternative .

You might ask " why do I want to buy that blend " . Just tried a 50/50 crema /sumatran brew and it is great !!!

"Made from a blend of 30% Arabica and 70% Robusta beans. Lavazza Crema e Gusto is a blend with a distinctive character, chocolaty hints and a full bodied taste. Perfect at anytime of the day for an intensely pleasurable and strongly flavoured coffee, especially as a Cappuccino."

Given the above ( which is a quote from their website) would you not be better off trying to find someone roasting a 100% Robusta and then blend it yourself.

Personal taste is exactly that and whilst the above (shudder) is not anywhere close to own personal preferences, hope you find what you looking for.

The French drink Robusta almost exclusively. Most Italians drink some sort of industrial coffee from their local espresso bar. You like what you like. Who are we to judge? It's not to my taste and there are UK roasters producing high quality beans at a similar price point to MrBoots2u link (I'm thinking of Rave when you buy a kilo of something on special) but if you like Lavazza, have at it.
