What do you get when you cross the thunderous allure of a Lamborghini supercar with the silky power of an expertly pulled espresso shot? Something unexpectedly smooth, surprisingly rich, and deeply Italian. Meet Espresso for Automobili Lamborghini, a new coffee blend brewed up by two of Italy’s most iconic names.
Now available in the UK, these beans represent Lavazza’s century-long coffee mastery and Lamborghini’s relentless drive for precision engineering. If you need an espresso to start your engine every morning, this is it!
Fast beans, fine machines
The collaboration is based on more than just mutual admiration. In June 2024, Lavazza became the official coffee partner of Automobili Lamborghini, with beans now fuelling the café culture inside the Lamborghini museum in Bologna and at branded events around the world. The new blend, however, kicks things up a gear.
Lavazza has crafted the Espresso for Automobili Lamborghini using a blend of Brazilian Arabica and Indian Robusta, bringing with it bold flavour, low acidity, and a lingering cocoa finish. The Robusta provides spicy, chocolatey muscle, while the Arabica softens things with sweetness and smoothness. The result is a cup that starts strong but doesn’t burn out – think Aventador muscle with Huracán finesse.
This is espresso that takes sugar well too. At an exclusive tasting at the Lavazza flagship store in Soho, yes, reader, I sipped, I discovered that just a pinch of sweetness rounds out the intensity, letting the chocolate notes glide into the foreground. There’s something oddly luxurious about it. Not too flashy, but well-engineered. Kind of like a Lambo interior.
Coffee, curves and a ride in the Urus SE
After tasting the espresso in an atmosphere of sleek marble and polished chrome, guests (myself included) were ushered into the passenger seats of a Lamborghini Urus SE for a short spin (presumably to ensure our heart rates matched the caffeine levels).
We disembarked at Il Gattopardo, a suitably stylish Mayfair haunt, where our experience concluded over a Choco Negoni, featuring Lavazza coffee, followed by Beef Bolognese Arancini, Maltagliati and Pollo Cacciatora (it’s a great restaurant, so pay them a visit).
It was a fitting reminder that this blend isn’t just about caffeine; it’s about culture. It’s meant to be sipped in good company, in good shoes, ideally after a good drive.

Espresso for Automobili Lamborghini isn’t the cheapest way to get your morning jolt, but it might be the most glamorous. The taste is as confident as the badge it carries: bold, balanced, with a refined edge. It’s a collaboration that makes perfect sense. Both brands are obsessed with detail, heritage, and sensory experience.
So whether you’re fueling up for a Sunday drive or just trying to make your 9 am Teams call feel a little more La Dolce Vita, this coffee delivers an experience that’s high-octane without being over-revved.
Besides, it’s not every day your espresso comes with its own supercar credentials.
Priced at £30 a bag, Espresso for Automobili Lamborghini is available from Lavazza.co.uk.
