Lavazza Super Crema — Professional Versatility for the Modern Canadian Program
By completely eliminating the harshness associated with commodity-grade coffee, Lavazza’s Super Crema has redefined the modern specialty beverage station. It empowers Western Canadian baristas and hospitality operators to deliver an uncompromisingly authentic Italian experience in every single pour. Crafted using premium beans from the South American highlands and Indonesian archipelago, this blend utilizes a precise roasting curve to capture the multi-dimensional, sweet notes of honey and roasted hazelnuts. For hospitality operators in 2026, this versatility translates into a product that excels as a straight espresso while having enough body to cut through milk, allowing your "Signature Honey Lattes" or "Almond Macchiatos" to stand out in a market increasingly focused on quality and consistency.
The whole bean format offers a significant leap in aromatic ROI and inventory control, providing a high-volume reservoir that fits seamlessly into professional hopper-fed grinders and super-automatic espresso machines. This design is specifically engineered for high-intensity service environments, allowing your staff to grind on-demand to preserve the delicate volatile oils that create the signature "Super" crema. By replacing pre-ground alternatives with this durable, high-yield dispenser, establishments can significantly improve service consistency and hygiene, effectively removing the technical barriers to serving a true "plaza-style" Italian espresso even in fast-paced environments like Calgary corporate hubs or busy BC mountain bistros.
Sourcing this artisan-grade blend directly from our local Calgary hub provides your establishment with a distinct competitive advantage, allowing you to bypass the transit risks, fluctuating exchange rates, and exorbitant brokerage fees often found with international shipping from US-based suppliers. By leveraging the logistics network of ChickenPieces.com, Western Canadian businesses gain access to Italy’s premier coffee series with a turnaround time of only 2-5 days across Alberta and BC. This localized supply chain ensures that your inventory remains fresh—crucial for whole-bean coffee—and your storage rooms stay lean, empowering you to respond quickly to seasonal volume surges without the burden of long-term storage or high international shipping overheads.

Why Choose Super Crema Case Packs?
Forgiving Extraction Profile
Unlike 100% Arabica roasts that can be finicky, the Robusta inclusion in Super Crema makes it the most "forgiving" professional blend. It maintains a consistent taste even with slight variations in grind, essential for busy Calgary cafes.
Legendary Crema Stability
As the name suggests, this blend is specifically formulated to produce a thick, golden crema. This layer acts as a blanket, trapping aromatics and providing a velvety texture that enhances latte art and cappuccino caps.
Honey & Almond Sophistication
Ditch the "burnt" taste of darker roasts. Super Crema offers a sophisticated medium roast profile with natural sweetness from Brazilian Arabica, making it an ideal "all-day" coffee that appeals to a wide guest demographic.
High-Yield 6-Bag ROI
The 6-count case format lowers your cost-per-shot significantly compared to individual retail bags. This maximizes margins for high-traffic environments across Canada, from office towers to event centers.
Super-Automatic Friendly
Because it is a medium roast with low surface oil, Super Crema is exceptionally safe for the built-in grinders of super-automatic office and cafe machines, preventing oil-based clogging and maintenance delays.

Frequently Asked Questions — Lavazza Super Crema in Canada
Where can I buy Lavazza Super Crema in Canada?
You can purchase individual bags or full cases at ChickenPieces.com. We ship directly from our Calgary warehouse to cafes, offices, and homes across Canada with no membership fees required.
What does Lavazza Super Crema taste like?
It captures the authentic flavor of a classic Italian espresso—smooth, balanced, and slightly sweet. It features distinct notes of honey and roasted almonds without the heavy ashy notes found in darker roasts.
Is this coffee 100% Arabica?
No, it is a master blend of 60% Arabica and 40% premium Robusta. The Robusta is essential for achieving the blend's signature "Super" crema and full-bodied mouthfeel that cuts through milk.
Is Super Crema oily?
No. Lavazza Super Crema is a medium roast with minimal surface oil. This makes it ideal for super-automatic machines and precision grinders that are prone to clogging from oily dark roasts.
How many espressos can I make with one 2.2 lb (1kg) bag?
A standard 1kg bag yields approximately 120 to 140 single shots, depending on whether you use a 7g or 8g dose for your signature beverage recipe.
Is this coffee good for drip coffee or French Press?
While optimized for espresso, many users enjoy Super Crema in a French Press or drip machine by using a coarser grind. Its low acidity and nutty profile make for a very smooth cup of regular coffee.
Do I need to refrigerate the beans after opening?
No, Lavazza whole beans are shelf-stable. They should be stored in an airtight, opaque container at room temperature for up to 14 days after opening for peak flavor.
Is Lavazza Super Crema vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, this product is 100% natural whole bean coffee, meeting the high dietary standards of modern Canadian hospitality guests.
What is the shelf life of an unopened case?
Nitrogen-flushed and vacuum-sealed bags maintain peak freshness for 18–24 months. Once opened, we suggest using the beans within 2 weeks for the best aromatic experience.
Why buy from ChickenPieces.com instead of US suppliers?
Ordering from our Calgary hub ensures you pay in CAD, avoid surprise border duties, and receive your stock in 2-5 days—ensuring your coffee is much fresher than stock that has spent weeks in international transit.
