Equipment (not for consumption)
Method
Preparation
- 1
Measure and grind
Weigh 18 g of Lavazza coffee. If using whole beans, grind to the appropriate grind size: medium-fine for pour-over or drip (similar to table salt), coarse for French press (rough like sea salt).
- 2
Heat water
Heat 300 ml of filtered water in a kettle to about 92–96°C (197–205°F). If you don't have a thermometer, bring to a boil and let sit 30 seconds.
- 3
Rinse filter (if using paper)
If using a paper filter, place it in the cone and rinse with ~50 ml hot water to remove paper taste and preheat the brewer and mug. Discard rinse water.
Brewing (Pour-over / Drip method)
- 4
Add coffee to filter
Place the ground Lavazza coffee in the filter and level the bed lightly so grounds are evenly distributed.
- 5
Bloom
Start a timer. Pour 40–45 ml of hot water evenly over the grounds to saturate them. Let bloom for 30–45 seconds to release gases and improve extraction.
- 6
Continue pouring
After bloom, slowly pour the remaining water in a steady spiral or concentric motion, taking care not to pour directly on the filter paper. Aim to finish pouring by 2:30–3:00 minutes (total brew time ~3 minutes).
- 7
Drain and serve
Allow the coffee to finish dripping into the mug or carafe. Remove the filter and discard grounds. Serve immediately.
Brewing (French press alternative)
- 8
Add coffee to carafe
If using French press, add 18 g coarsely ground Lavazza to the press.
- 9
Add water and stir
Pour all 300 ml hot water over grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated. Stir gently to ensure even extraction.
- 10
Steep
Place the lid with plunger up and let steep for 4 minutes. For a stronger cup, steep 4:30–5:00 minutes.
- 11
Plunge and serve
Press the plunger down steadily and immediately pour the coffee into a serving mug to avoid over-extraction.

Taste and adjust
Taste the brewed Lavazza. If it tastes weak, increase coffee by 1–2 g next time or shorten grind slightly. If too strong or bitter, use a coarser grind or slightly less coffee.
- 14
Serve
Serve immediately while hot.
