Can’t believe you’ve got the Lavazza. Got some at Costco about 3 weeks ago. As you said, perfect for milk based drinks. I’m about 2 mos into my Barista Pro, and it’s been great watching the channel. Getting a little more consistent every day. Thanks!!

[@danwalsh6919]

Just this moment, got in a Breville Infuser to go beside my Baratza Encore (soon to be upgraded) so hopefully I can put some of your instruction to good use ! Really enjoying your channel, right now it's -20 C degrees up here in Montreal, Quebec ! Time to heat up the new puppy !

About 5 years ago I did the same I used LavAzza Beans to get started to help me to learn the basic espresso techniques. Great price for whole beans and not so bad taste to help with learning the basics steps in beans grinding and shot pulling and trying different brewing temperature to dial in taste. Now Good Brothers fresh beans at the right temperature @ Good Brothers Espresso at 1:1.5 ratio at 200F time 20sec. and steamed milk on my Rocket. Speaking of temperature that's the reason I return my "pro" I had. The blind shot temperature on my pro was less stable than my express. I like the ease of the pro but it just seemed the temperature on my express was more stable than pro. I think it's the design of the fast heat on the pro, it's a give and take. ( I still have my express with my rocket)l Just saying. Cheers.

Lavazza hasn't steered me wrong yet. Still go through a 1kg bag each month, with the last shot being as good & consistent as the first (using an airtight container to store). Been using Crema Gusto these past few months, and the wife insists that I keep using it for her lattes.

[@HerHomeschoolHomestead]

Great video! Once again brother! Thank you. God bless you.

[@nelly_8888]

Hi Hoon, I was so excited to see u were going to do a demo w/Lavazza then saw u were using the Barista Express 😩. I was hoping the Lavazza demo was using the pro. I love the Italiano and Rossa flavors. Would love to see you do a Lavazza demo on the pro 😬. Cheers!

[@francyssalcedo3323]

I love that coffee brand and love the texture and flavor!

[@francyssalcedo3323]

You should try Don Pablo from Guatemala. I think it has a very nice flavor, texture and great aroma and definitely not a bad price either.

[@garyallsebrook3493]

Lavassa is my go to also (when I'm not roasting my own). I wish I had used it in the beginning, when I was learning to pull shots and dial in grind sizes.

[@DavidLozeau]

I messaged Lavazza about their roast dates and they said it’s printed on the bottom of the bag. I drink Dek and I had to look under every fold to find it, but it was there...and my bag was over a year old. 🤨

[@johnelicker3967]

bought some today from costco not bad for the price thanks for sharing

[@bobbyhill1156]

I'm having an issue with these same beans. Looking at Hoon's video, he grind them at 10 on the Barista grinder. I got the same beans yesterday for the first time, and since I have the same machine, I just follow the same dial settings. The result was totally under extract. Pure water, in less than 15 seconds. Then I went down to 6, still under extract! The gauge didn't moved at all. So now I tried at 2, and the gauge went to 1/3 of the middle, but still a little under extract. I never had this issue with other beans, and what makes me very confuse is how it can be literally the whole opposite dialing settings between him and me. Any thoughts?

[@Tholopotami]

Good Morning Hoon!!!

[@BrentGoodale]

Amazing deal.

[@weikunli5926]

Hi Hoon, I got tese beans too, ground size 4 on the machine 16g pulling 32g; they taste kinda sour to me, same thing happened to you?

[@mjmjersey]

I love your espresso videos I'm still trying to get control of my machine my grinder but I took your advice and got this coffee let's see what happens

[@mohitverma09]

Curious to learn which filler did you use ? Single/ double - pressurized / non pressurized?

[@edmundjr.salcedo7854]

Hey hoon, what's your grind setting for this one?

[@drax14QC]

I think these beans are the exact same as the Lavazza ‘Caffè Espresso’ (only in a new packaging), which you liked pretty much if I remember correctly

[@gailfrohnert4230]

I grind my LaVazza Super Crema at 5 on the grinder and pull a lovely shot. Also upgraded the lever for the steamer! Love this machine!

[@ianpemb9324]

Hi Gail can you elaborate on the steamer upgrade?

[@gailfrohnert4230]

@@ianpemb9324 saw a video on Dylan’s channel how to install it. It’s made by Crema and for sale on Amazon. It’s stainless steel and looks so much nicer than the cheap plastic knob that came with the machine!

[@kevinjohnson3715]

Was checking out those LavAzza Super Crema beans on amazon and it seems like every other person in the reviews were finding rocks and other random objects in the beans. Have you ever had this problem? Seems pretty prominent with the brand.

[@ianibrahim]

Hey Hoon great video once again :~) One question mate. Do you like the crema brand all in one distribution tool or the saint Anthony. If you had to pick one which one would it be?

[@HoonsCoffee]

Obviously I go with Saint Anthony but they are pretty pricey.

[@ianibrahim]

@@HoonsCoffee will the crema work just well and precise?

[@renodavid]

Interesting to see you getting impatient with the speed of the BBE. We tend to get spoiled when we find something that can save us a little time, right? I just got a bag of the Costco Lavazza on Sunday, but I haven’t tried it yet. Looking forward to it. As far as the roasting dates go, I always assume that most companies just add a year to the roasting date to come up with the “use by” date. In Lavazza’s case they add two (!) years. So I would assume the bag you have was roasted on 9/30/2020, which makes sense since it’s coming all the way from Italy. My bag has the same date. As far as good deals on “supermarket” coffee I’ve been having good luck with Don Francisco’s dark French Roast. They put it on sale at my Safeway all the time at $11.39 for 28 oz. What’s cool is, if my calculations are correct, it’s only about a month old when it hits the shelves here (the company is located in SoCal). Anyway, I’ve been enjoying it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have as good of luck with their medium roast.

[@beck2929]

I think when you said “-2ºC” you actually set “-1ºC”. As far as I know you can set the BE 93ºC +/- 2ºC . The tight temperature range is one of the limitations of this machine that should be best suited for medium/light roasted beans

[@carlt9265]

Coffee is life

[@bliblablubb0712]

I bought 3 different kinds of Lavazza and all three were sour. No matter if 100% arabica or mixed with robusta. I dont know, maybe I am just more the dark roasted, strong and bitter kind of coffee lover. What you guys think about Lavazza?

[@drax14QC]

I think they offer good quality coffee with good variety too. Which Lavazza have you tried ?

[@elrojas9352]

what u favorite type from lavazza???

[@MCDreng]

This is the same as the caffe espresso blend you also did a video on.

[@annieee91]

What's the interval grind #?

Can you make me a cappuccino please?

[@friday1595]

Was looking for a review of the product and all I see is technical difficulties. Dislike…

[@lukasbraxton9898]

Please tell me - how it is compared to this coffee machine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYvddHyCf9KMj80 Can you make a comparative video ?

[@HoonsCoffee]

I have to look into it. Looks pretty good!

[@lukasbraxton9898]

@@HoonsCoffee Thanks

[@chavitavb]

In not a fan of this coffee at all, it taste old to me.

[@HoonsCoffee]

I hear you! But can't beat the price if you're looking for cheap coffee.
