Is this a dark or light roast?

It is a medium roast, so it sits between light and dark: smoother and less bitter than dark Italian espresso blends.

Can I use it in a regular drip coffee maker?

Yes. Lavazza lists espresso machines, moka pots, drip coffee makers and French presses as suitable.

Yes. It is a blend of Central and South American Arabica beans.

No. It is sold as whole beans, so you need a grinder.

How should I store it?

Keep the beans in an airtight container away from light and heat; the bag itself does not reseal.

Is it strong enough for milk drinks?

It holds up in lattes and cappuccinos, though the medium roast is milder than a dark espresso blend.

Our take on the Lavazza Espresso Whole Bean Coffee, Medium Roast

Lavazza Espresso is a medium-roast blend of 100% Arabica beans from Central and South America, sold as whole beans. It is built for espresso and moka pots but works in drip machines and French presses too. The medium roast keeps it smoother and less bitter than dark Italian espresso blends, which suits drinkers who find those too harsh. Owners praise the consistent crema and nutty, chocolatey cup; some find it too mild for a true espresso and note the bags are not resealable.
