It's ground beans. Any method with filtration should work fine.
I like French press method, personally.

the fuck, thats pretty cheap, here it goes for like 4 euros and at best half that on a sale...
anyway, its esspresso, for a machine or moca pot, dont just mix it with water like instant coffee

Anyway, this is my go-to supermarket coffee when Im too lazy to go do my local fresh coffee store, either this or the gold one, or Costa,(all their blends are decent). Its way better than pretty much all other garbage they sell packed in supermarkets, especially those meme Starbucks blends they released recently.
Aside maybe for Illy, but fuck buying it all the time, it costs like 4 times the price for a tin of the same 250mgs, and Lavazza is pretty close to it anyway. I buy a can of Illy every few months or when I get it on a sale just to use it for other coffee storage after I finish it

What the actual fuck, the pic OP posted is pourover, drip or infusion coffee, not espresso. It'll be far too coarse for espresso.

It's ground coffee. Probably a bit darker roasted than you'd want.
You can prepare it in any way you'd use ground coffee, though judging from their suggested preparation method (infusion, french press and drip) it's probably not fine enough for espresso. If you have a machine like a drip coffee machine, a french press, a aeropress, a v60, a chemex or any pourover setup those would work fine. If you don't, infusion brew it is. To do so follow James Hoffman's french press guide (he doesn't use the plunger so it's just a simple infusion brew): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st571DYYTR8
Use any container that can hold the hot water and has a wide opening for you to scoop the stuff off the top. If the container has decent thermal mass, preheat it a little.
That's all there is to it, don't even need a filter or anything.
