“Every sip becomes an experience rich in unique details, each with its own story to tell”
– Michele Cannone, Lavazza Brand Away from Home Director
Specialty coffee with an Italian touch
Lavazza’s 1895 Collection has been expertly crafted to create memorable coffee experiences. Whether sipping espresso in the lounge, embarking on a sensory journey with a V60 pour over or savouring a cocktail at the bar, Lavazza 1895 is an unmistakable signifier of quality.
“The latest market trends are increasingly moving toward rediscovering the uniqueness of each product – depending on its origin, roasting methods, and coffee extraction techniques, every sip becomes an experience rich in unique details, each with its own story to tell,” says Michele Cannone, Lavazza Brand Away From Home Director.
The 1895 factory in Settimo Torinese, Italy, blends advanced technology with Lavazza’s world-renowned artisanal approach. Every single 1895 coffee bean is optically sorted, ensuring that each batch has zero defects. Throughout, meticulous quality controls track every step of the production process at the state-of-the-art roastery.
A dedicated roasting profile for each micro-lot, single origin and blend ensures high-end venues can craft a tailored coffee service to suit their individual needs – whether offering hotel guests a unique pour over experience or capping off a meal with an espresso.
Small batch roasting enables exceptional coffee to shine, such as the Flor de Oro from Colombia, a single-estate coffee that embodies the skill and craftsmanship of Colombia’s world-renowned specialty coffee producers. Lavazza 1895’s signature roasting profile amplifies floral aromas and notes of chamomile, honey and black tea in Flor de Oro – just one example of how Lavazza 1895 can elevate a premium coffee offer into an unforgettable culinary experience.
“I believe in a reality that is eager to innovate and make an impact,” says finca El Paraiso’s Diego Samuel Bermudez Tapia, the award-winning producer of Flor de Oro, who is pushing the boundaries of microbiology, fermentation, processing and sustainability.
Whether you’re seeking to wow hotel guests on arrival, complement a sublime culinary creation or develop an innovative mixology menu, a specialty coffee range tailored to individual business needs is the final piece of the puzzle for any stand-out hospitality experience.
