One seldom hears of Robusta beans in the advertising coffee. Are there blends that you enjoy that include the full bodied intense taste of Robusta beans?

I mostly use Lavazza Rossa, because I like it and it is cheap and convenient. It is 30% robusta. Definitely prefer it over Lavazza Oro which is 100% Arabica and is more expensive.
Obviously there may be other factors than the mix of beans. But Rossa is fuller and smoother, to me.

Er, actually the bag I am on now says 60% robusta, but I did find a picture online with 30% indicated.
Good for espresso, yes.

Since my grinder was out of service last week I tried a couple of the Lavazza Blends. I enjoyed their Crema e Gusto very much.
I'm not sure what passes as pricey. It was under $4 CDN for 8 oz.
