Lavazza's 100% Arabica drip blend for American coffee makers: smooth, low-bitterness and caramel-sweet at a mid-range price.
House Blend Perfetto is Lavazza's medium-roast, 100% Arabica blend of Central and South American coffee, ground for drip machines, Chemex and French press (intensity 3/5). Lavazza lists caramel as its main aromatic note, and it is one of Amazon's top-selling ground coffees. Reviewers praise its gentle, non-bitter cup; Tasting Table found it Lavazza's best whole-bean drip coffee but not especially full-bodied.
Best for
- Drip-machine households who find Starbucks too bitter
- Black coffee drinkers who like a sweet, mellow cup
- A step up from canister coffee without specialty prices
What we like
- Smooth, low-bitterness 100% Arabica cup
- Caramel sweetness that works black or with milk
- Made for drip, Chemex and French press
- Sold in 12 oz and 20 oz bags
Watch-outs
- Lighter body than some drinkers expect from an Italian brand
- Only broad origin regions disclosed
- Not designed for espresso despite the Lavazza name
