I like this bean. It’s smooth, and I usually like roasts with chocolate notes.
I’m also cheap. This is around .50 cents US per once.
Do you have a favorite bean that’s medium/smooth, and also in the .50 range that can be ordered online?
My local roasters are all around a dollar per once and I haven’t found anything that was so good, I couldn’t go back to this for half the cost, so I do them as a special occasion.
When I was in the office and buying beans for our automatic machine the Lavazza beans were the most reliable, consistent and highest quality “supermarket” beans I could find for a reasonable price. Personally I liked the Rossa. For myself at home I do use a local small batch roaster and get a subscription. It’s about twice as much cost wise but still works out at only 40p (I’m in the UK) for an espresso, which I’m happy with.
Same here, I like coffee but I don’t need to spend too much on it. Recently tried their Crema e Gusto and now I have a whole 1kg here.
Good price/performance.
I’ve seen the Rossa also.
Your sentiment for supermarket bean was exactly where I’m coming from. I also agree with Lavazza being reliable and consistent.
At least I know I’m not totally missing something with Lavazza…
