Lavazza is amazing! As Italian being, I recommend you also the brand Segafredo and the new "organic/bio" line of Lavazza. Greetings from Italy! ✌️

[@haha-cm6pg]

I love Lavazza. Cannot replace it.

[@corneliusscipio777]

This man made me realize my 500$ espresso machine good beans can make an espresso drink better than any store

[@chavitavb]

I just bought this coffee today at the Costco Business center for $13 and it's good stuff! Good choice Hoon.

[@HoonsCoffee]

What a deal! Is that 2lbs bag?

[@chavitavb]

@@HoonsCoffee Yup it's a 2.2lb bag. I didn't see the coffee at the regular costco, only at the business center which is open for any costco card holders.

[@robertomanna9258]

I don't live in Italy anymore, but I only drink Lavazza as my daily coffee at home. My favourite once is Lavazza Oro, 100% Arabica. I don't know if you have tried "Illy caffè", I strongly recommend it.

[@mina0rahman]

but didn't you notice the strong tobacco aroma? I just tried this today and it was such an unpleasant surprise for the packaging to suggest it's "fruity and floral' but for it to smell nothing like it on brewing. Or I was wondering if it's a mistake of labeling on their part?

[@sabrinam5453]

My Barista Express is fairly new for me. I keep experimenting with different beans, but haven't found the taste I prefer. Out shopping at World Market, I saw this coffee. I thought I'd give it a try because I saw it on your video. It is my new favorite. In an Americano or latte, it was just what I was looking for.

[@HoonsCoffee]

Good choice ! Do you prefer Americano or Latte?

[@sabrinam5453]

@@HoonsCoffee I like to start my day with an Americano. If I am not rushing out the door or on the weekend, the Americano is followed up with a latte. :)

[@HoonsCoffee]

@@sabrinam5453 Same here to but I have make coffees for my son and wife.

[@beatrix3415]

My favorit too. Be careful Lavazza has a couple af different Espresso beans and fod me - they all taste different! The one you show is the old good one.

[@jamesl9539]

I tried this bean with my Breville Barista Express and it is just okay. I much much prefer Mayorga Organics Cafe Cubano. I tried all kinds of beans, but the Mayorga beats them all.

[@VioAdri83]

Hi man, do you use single or double wall filter basket? Greetings from Germany!

[@HoonsCoffee]

I have been using single wall filter basket. When you dialed in correctly you get a better shot than double wall basket.

[@ivancanales9634]

Thanks for the video. May I ask the name of the bean container in the video?

[@mikkelguy]

hey mate. i know fresh beans are the best to use. but they cost a lot for me. i can get lavazza 1kg cheap via my job fresh beans 250g would cost more than 1kg for me. so i would prefer to keep those but I'm having a hard time dialing in no matter what setting i use i get 50-55g coffee out. the one i use is Il Filtro classico from lavazzza. any tips on how to only get 36g out?

[@micheleodstrcilek3703]

Hoon,I heard on another coffee video that lavazza coffee is nitrogen infused which will make it last for months.have you heard this? Does this change the taste? Thank you.

[@SLVBULL]

Hoon if you have a double wall basket on a breville machine does grind size still matter or you don't have the control as you do with a single basket.

[@HoonsCoffee]

Not as much as single basket. I like to set 8 or 9 on the grind setting when I use pressurized basket. But you get a much better shot single wall basket.

[@hmehv715]

Hi Hoon, great video again. I have two questions: 1) what roast are these beans? Dark, medium or light? I have Lavazza Espresso Italiano beans and these are light roast. Curious if these are similar to your beans 2) You mention that you put 18g in and go 58g out? With the standard program of running 20 seconds I get a out the same output, but isn't this a strange ratio? I would normally expect a 1:2 ratio for light toasts? When I try this with my beans it runs for about 10 seconds and is definitely not good (grinding finer also is not ideal in my opinion). Any thoughts on this? Thanks and keep up the good work!!

[@HoonsCoffee]

This is medium roasted coffee. Lately I really like 1:2 ratio and between 20-30 seconds.

[@hmehv715]

What would have been your next step to achieve that with this espresso? Turn grinder finer, put temperature higher or any other advice? Thanks a lot!!

[@assikr]

in Europe the default grind is 3, i use densi oro and found the 1 is the best to extract them

[@marc_lt]

Hey.. Did you use the double Filter in this Video ?

[@yordanpopov]

I bought the same coffee from Costco and it always tasted sour on this machine even though I had the correct pressure. I tried it on a different machine (much cheaper one) and it tasted a lot better for some reason. So I liked super crema a lot more on the barista express.

[@gavintrippe2024]

How old is the roast on them when you purchased?

[@yordanpopov]

it didn't say, but I suspect that was the issue.

[@brysonhollar]

Hi Hoon! Have you tried any Koffee Kult beans? I have some delivering tomorrow to try in my Barista Express.

[@HoonsCoffee]

Let me know!

[@brysonhollar]

Hoon's Coffee, Koffee Kult dark roast is fantastic! The batch I received was very fresh.

[@HoonsCoffee]

@@brysonhollar I'll try that once I'm done with LaVazza.

[@yohaasakura4134]

does it mean its a perfect shot if the pressure reaches 9?

[@CaffeineJogger]

Hi Hoon, Apologies my query is about something else. Barista express 860xl is leaking from the bottom. Hard to tell if it's the chamber or seals. Any ideas?

[@HoonsCoffee]

If your machine is less than a year old, contact Breville for your issue. www.brevilleusasupport.com/bes870xl/warranty/

[@ddr80]

have you tried with the Lavazza Oro? curious how you would dial that in

[@HoonsCoffee]

Not the Oro but my process all the same. Start with grinder setting 7 or 8 and dial in from there. I like to use 17.5 g rather than 18.

Maromas is handled by Whole Latte Love. Besides having sales the also give you points on each purchase which you can redeem for gift cards. Once I have some more cash I’m going to get a naked portafilter. I just made myself an Americano. I’ve been using a shot timer for pulling my shots and I adjust the grinder if I find it choking.

[@HoonsCoffee]

I have to buy more than $50 to avoid the shipping cost. Did I told you I just ordered the another Mazzer Mini grinder? Just sold the my old one. Someone actually bought it from Craigslist.

[@Josh77600]

How is this possible? I have the same machine and the same beans. I have the grind setting on the finest possible but the coffee is still going too fast. Not enough pressure. What am i doing wrong?

[@SuperMatrix59]

[@Kashanca667]

Hi. I'm a new owner of Sage The Baista Express. Today i tried to make espresso from Lavazza Caffe Espresso beans, with your settings. Didn't work out, pressure was too low. I tried with many different grinder settings, from 3 to 12. Always with the same result, no matter what i do pressure is always too low. I'm confused, what should i do?

[@HoonsCoffee]

Sounds like you need to change your inner burr setting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5LQqI2omdBroLc

[@369MatteGrey]

Mine taste really sour which I dont like. AM I doing it wrongly?

[@drax14QC]

How does this coffee compare to the Lavazza Gran Crema ? Thanks!

[@HoonsCoffee]

I like this much better than Gran Crema if you like to drink espresso and Americano.

[@drax14QC]

Hoon's Coffee Ok, thanks for your opinion! I like to drink espresso and sometimes I make Cortado, latte of other milk-based drink. Just opened a bag of Gran Crema and so far I like the taste. ☕️

[@wa8dpv]

The Caffe Espresso is the coffee that doesn’t make the cut for Super Crema or Gold. I still think you should try the Maromas Orphea. They’re having a sale for Halloween.

[@HoonsCoffee]

I wish Amazon sell it. Just went to Whole Latte Love website. $20 for the coffee but shipping is $10.

[@wa8dpv]

I buy two bags and no shipping

Have you had any rocks showing up in your beans with LavAzza ? This one seems like a good blend for guest this Thanksgiving. What's your favorite LavAzza blend ?

[@HoonsCoffee]

Which method did you use?

[@shanewilson2152]

@@HoonsCoffee the first roast was done in a air fryer wich took about 1hour and 10min to get a medium roast. It looked very dry. The second roast was done in a fan forced oven, everything was going well, until around the 25 minute mark. I was unable to distinguish the first or second crack, the roast ended up looking like a brown dry roast.

You should try the Crema e Aroma from Lavazza! Has good reviews on Amazon ☕️👌 cheers!

Definitely! Thank you for the recommendation.

Hoon's Coffee no problem. Another on to try would be Kicking Horse Cliff Hanger Espresso. It’s a medium roast and has many good reviews on different websites. It also is a Canadian roaster (I’m from Canada 😉) and their products are 100% certified Organic and Fairtrade! ☕️
