What Lavazza sells, what it costs against the rest of the market, and who should buy it.
This is an assessment of Lavazza as a brand rather than a live price list — for current prices on every product, the Lavazza hub is the page you want. Here we look at how the range is shaped, where it sits on value, and what we would buy instead.
Live prices for every Lavazza product are on the Lavazza brand page. This review is the analysis that sits alongside it.
The range
Lavazza sells whole bean, ground and pods in the UK. We currently track 17 products, in 1kg, 30 pods, 6kg and 2kg. A brand that spans several formats is usually worth judging format by format — the same name can be excellent value in one and poor in another.
What Lavazza coffee costs
We track 17 Lavazza products, spanning £0.25 to £1.11 per cup — a 4.5× spread within one brand. The cheapest is Qualità Rossa (1kg); the most expensive is Qualità Rossa (1kg).
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qualità Rossa | ground | 1kg | £0.25 | £13.79 |
| Espresso Maestro Ristretto | pods | 30 pods | £0.28 | — |
| Qualità Rossa | whole bean | 1kg | £0.29 | £16.00 |
| Qualita Rossa | whole bean | 6kg | £0.29 | £16.33 |
| Super Crema Espresso | whole bean | 2kg | £0.33 | £18.60 |
| Crema e Gusto Classico | ground | 500g | £0.35 | £19.60 |
| Crema e Aroma | whole bean | 1kg | £0.35 | £19.60 |
| Decaffeinated | whole bean | 500g | £0.36 | £19.90 |
| Dek Decaffeinated Natural Method | ground | 1kg | £0.37 | £20.81 |
| Qualità Oro | whole bean | 1kg | £0.38 | £21.00 |
| Tierra Humeco Bio-Organic | whole bean | 1kg | £0.42 | £23.06 |
| Tales of Napoli | ground | 200g | £0.45 | £24.75 |
Pack prices run from £4.95 to £98.00. As always, the pack price is the least useful number here — the per-cup column is the one that compares.
Best value in the range
Qualità Rossa is the strongest value Lavazza currently offers: at £0.25 per cup it sits about 48% below the median cup price for ground coffee across everything we track. That is a comparison against the whole market, not against Lavazza's own list prices.
Who it suits
- Home espresso and cafetière drinkers, if the large-format bags are within your six-week window.
- Pod-machine owners — but check the compatible-capsule price for the same machine before committing.
- Anyone who wants a repeatable cup rather than a rotating single origin.
Value for money
On our own test — cost per cup against the median for the same format — Lavazza has at least one genuinely strong product in the range. That is a better result than most brands manage, and it is concentrated in the larger pack sizes.

Prices are the last we fetched and can move. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases — it never changes the order, which is always cheapest per cup first.
Alternatives worth comparing
Before buying, put Lavazza next to the wider format list. The comparison hubs sort every brand we track onto the same per-cup basis, which is the only way to see whether a brand premium is buying you anything.
