Great video Aju! I love skittles!!! What grind setting did you use?

Great video!

I have that very bag, love it great crema!

Nice latte art! Lavazza makes good coffee. What you be your favorite Lavazza coffee you think ??

[@vramz210]

Thanks for sharing lot's of help👍..I'm about to try my Lavazza Top Class Filtro and 8 o'clock dark roast hope I get it right.✌

[@AjusCafe]

If you meant pressure, then 12 or 1 o clock is ideal

[@vramz210]

@@AjusCafeOk thanks for the tip!👍🏽

[@cwpalacios1]

I have a Barista Express, Lavazza Super Crema Whole Beans, and a female dog named Skittles (she is a Yorkie) as well.

[@stevenray357]

Hi. Great reviews, watched them all! I’m struggling with my machine (sage Barista) when I press the single shot it works, push’s water through, but when I press the double double shot it works for a second then cuts out?? Any ideas

[@AjusCafe]

Yes Steven, here is the answer kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnO2lGeebLKEqMU If that didn't fix watch this too kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXW9dIRoppKorMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKXGq56OaamDiZo

[@danielpuentes690]

Awesome video! For how many seconds did you introduced air when steaming the milk? Thank you in advanced!

[@ishtiyaqmakda-coffeelover3942]

Hi Aju, thanks for yet another good video. My question is, don't you think the shot you pulled was a little runny or liquidy? Shouldn't it be thicker?

[@ishtiyaqmakda-coffeelover3942]

@@AjusCafe, yes, I was expecting a thicker shot than this. Maybe it is because beans are not super fresh and roasted way before brewing the shot. Anyways, thanks for the quick response. I respect your dedication and work ethic :).

[@ivanr9408]

my question is what are the settings that you're using for grind, temp, infusion time.

[@AjusCafe]

I guess Grid size was 4, temp 200F and auto extraction

[@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?

[@AjusCafe]

You can do manual Extraction, by time or volume. I have videos on it how to get 1:2 etc kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmLJfHR-Yqaoa7s And kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGKYdIWVdp6Dna8

[@ilan316]

Hello, what are the inner and outer grinder setting have you used?

[@AjusCafe]

I can't remember, if not in the video. Just a guess - 2 outer and 4 or 6 inner

[@echance01]

Other than grind size, did you have to change any other settings? Or is it still set at factory/default settings? (I.e. water temp, shot volume)

[@YokoUmihara]

Please share with us the grind size of both the internal grinder and external grinder. Thanks

[@AjusCafe]

Internal is at default 6. Grinder size I guess it was at 4 or 6.

[@YokoUmihara]

@@AjusCafe so thankful.

[@AjusCafe]

@@YokoUmihara you are welcome

[@AutoBotcity1978]

Mine is internal 6 outter 4. I saw another video and his we at 7 but he had received a vacuum sealed bag, mine was a little airy just like his and I had to dial it to a 4. Pressure was too low but all shots came out good

[@YokoUmihara]

@@AutoBotcity1978 thank you!!

[@weijianchen8816]

Grinder Setting for this bean, please!

[@AjusCafe]

It depends on beans freshness. You could start with 6 and move up to 1. I was at 3 or 4 in that video

Grams ! Please ! @aju’s

[@rjadragel]

What setting do you use on grind?

[@AjusCafe]

Lavazza super Crema is usually at 3 or 4 Grind size

[@toddredlin5634]

It is now 12 dollars and change but some reviewers said they had rocks mixed in with beans and found out the hard way when the grinder made noise and stopped. Might have saved money on beans but not on grinder

[@AjusCafe]

I heard about the stones too. I never came across one.

[@toddredlin5634]

@@AjusCafe good to hear that you did not have any with your beans

[@munnagmail3859]

Is it made in Italy? How much per pkt?

[@AjusCafe]

Its Italian coffee. Packed in USA. Amazon sells between $12 - $26 for 500grams.

[@Andiicodes]

@@AjusCafe damn 26$ for 500g? I bought 1KG for 21$ in iraq

[@AjusCafe]

@@Andiicodes sometimes the supplier charge more for shipping in Amazon. So some prime items could be expensive.

[@Marian1st.]

Isn’t illy (100% Arabica) better than Lavazza?

[@AjusCafe]

illy is a great tasting coffee too. Lavazza produces more crema I guess, and smooth. Some prefer some punch to it. So it depends on your taste.

[@Marian1st.]

@@AjusCafe Yes, I think that crema comes from the 20% robusta coffee they add to the blend.

[@Marian1st.]

I would be interested to know how Tchibo, Jacobs and Dallmayr compare to Lavazza and illy.

[@KatEsclamado]

Hi. How much dose did u use for a grind size of 6?

[@KatEsclamado]

Oh so u don’t weigh manually the grind anymore? Thank u for ur response. I just got my barista express and im still having a hard time pulling a nice shot. I use 18g initially but when i use the razor there’s always an excess and ends up throwing it then i’ll be left with around 16-17g dose from that 18g whole beans.

[@KatEsclamado]

Im using the pressurized double dose basket. And I’ve already achieved the 12o’clock pressure. My concern is, i never really got a nice tasting espresso, it’s either sour or very bitter. And also, having a hard time getting the correct extraction time 20-30sec.

[@KatEsclamado]

Thank you so much for ur inputs sir. I will give it a try and i’ll let u know the results. :)

[@bilalyasin113]

@@KatEsclamado When I first bought my machine I had the same issue. You have the grinder size on the side of the machine but you also have a grinder setting within the grinder itself. If you haven't adjusted that I would recommend doing that first. It helped me a lot.

[@KatEsclamado]

Bilal Yasin hi sir, at what number did u adjust the inside burr?

[@maxb5947]

Brother, does it have high acidity??

[@AutoBotcity1978]

I got this same bag and started with a 7 from a previous video that I saw and the pressure was too low and even then it was acidic. Brought it down to a 4 and still a great taste.

[@AjusCafe]

Yes a bit acidic

[@kenroman777]

boy it looks that was a very uneven extraction and of course adding milk would hide it..

[@stayfastayfa7906]

😀😀😀👍👍👍

[@jamesbillingsby423]

Got some of this and I have pulled so many shots, everyone sour. Not sure why this is so hyped, its so sour.

[@jamesbillingsby423]

@@AjusCafe I was getting great pressure and decent timing, I think I figured out my problem. A lot of people said it should be a 1 to 1 ratio more of a risotto. I tried that and it came out a little quick because I switched my grinder around, but pulling a 1 to 1 ratio took away the sourness. I guess pulling that extra water through brought out that sour flavor. It's not bad at all and I will keep trying to fine tune it. I am using 17g, on the 1 setting on my barista express.

[@jamesbillingsby423]

@@AjusCafe It is, otherwise it comes out was too fast in like 10 seconds.

[@Poken.W]

this beans are blended beans, different size different rosted colour and 50% crushed beans, it means you can't guarantee the taste of every cup of coffee, super crema? really? maybe 10% more crema than ground coffee...sour 5/10 bitter 4/10 sweet 6/10 creme smell, it is a great coffee for public taste, also with the great great great price, yeah I pay what I got , fair... ;-D

[@zezu4775]

Looks very weak and light color for a double espresso shot…

Deafening music… not necessary at all !

Sorry for that

Don't buy this brand coffee. I had quality issue when i ordered from their web site and no one replies phone call or email!!

Interesting.. i always buy from Amazon and so far no issues
