Seattle's Best #4
Right now going through this Jacobs espresso. Nothing particularly exciting. Just trying to clear out some old stock...

My mom just returned from Hawaii. I asked her to bring back some coffee. She didn't realize I had a grinder so I got ground coffee.
Lion brand coffee isn't bad. It really doesn't stand out from something I could find at my local supermarket though.

Got an espresso machine now, tried Lavazza espresso first time.
You may find the "Perfetto" ground a little too coarse for your DeLonghi. It's for drip machines.
Alternatively, you may be successful by tamping it further.

I tamped it as you suggested, resulting in a very delicious espresso drink. Thank you.
On a side note; I am very happy with the DeLonghi EC680M machine. I appreciate the ease of use, the high pressure 15 bar operation, and it takes up very little counter space. I recommend it to others.

Great, with a good espresso machine you can extract most flavor from a good espresso fine grind coffee such as Lavazza Qualita Rossa.
To make a good cup of espresso you need a right coffee and the grind is importance too, also you need a tamper.
The problem with espresso is you will never go back to regular coffee, especially the single serve quick machine.

If you want to experiment, get yourself a burr grinder. Buy whole beans and adjust the grind and tamping pressure for the ultimate espresso.
Tried some Maxwell House today. Only a small amount of sugar. Tasted pretty good.
I do like some sugar in it, for taste.

Just reading about this coffee place and would like to try some of their stuff esp their coffee beer.

keurig is awful. Nothing that puts water through coffee in 20s at room pressure will ever be good.
It is convenient.
ILLY is good to great in expresso, sucks in drip coffee.-personal opinion from experience.
Just picked up a bonavita ts1900 for 40$ at sam's club clearance
https://prima-coffee.com/equipment/bonavita/bv1900ts
Curious to see how it tastes compared to my 8 year old technivorm moccamaster.
Currently drinking home-roasted bolivian beans grade AAA from invalsa.com Med-Dark
Kimbo is good(Thanks QP) and price is good.

Just got this delivered yesterday along with the Donut Blend. I have never had someone hand me a cup of coffee and say this is what Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee should taste like so I can't attest to that but I will say it has very good flavor.

That is not jamacian blue mountain... its blue mountain style.

I saw the Lavazza brand advertised up here recently in a flyer for the first time. I'm not sure I've actually seen it in a store yet.
