In for one. The wife likes it for her drip coffee. I'm espresso only, and I like Super Crema, but I prefer buying green beans.

Happy Mug is a great place to get green beans. Almost everything is under $7 a pound and they are my go to. They have plenty of variety. Luckily for me they're in my hometown Erie, PA and I can just run down and pick them up, but they're shipping is fair too. I don't know of any other less expensive source for quality beans. https://happymugcoffee.com/collec...een-coffee

Roasting may sound like a pain, but I find it therapeutic. I use a Nesco, but this re-badged one is identical https://www.amazon.com/JAVASTARR-Electric-Roasters-One-Touch-110V-120V/dp/B0BFWKYBMZ/ref=sr_1_7?crid... [amazon.com]

The only shortcoming of the Javastarr is it can only do 4 ounces at a time, but I set it in my garage, press a button and walk away. Around 20 minutes later, they're done and cooled off. Even on the dark setting, it does more of a medium than dark, but you can do a second round of roasting and get a true dark roast out of it that's excellent. It's a pretty simple but amazing solution for espresso. Every couple/few days I roast 4 more ounces and add them to the hopper. I've been doing this for several months now. The best part is the chaff collection, especially compared to the "Stir Crazy" types of roasters. The only advantage of those roasters is they can do a much larger batch, but I prefer the easier chaff collecting and timed cycle of the Javastarr.

I've never had a bag older than 2 months from the manufacture date when it arrived from Amazon. Bags undergo a nitrogen flush to preserve freshness. It really works. Unless the bag is compromised and nitrogen leaks out.

I buy in bulk when Lavazza bags go on sale. I've had a bag that was 9 months past the manufacture date (was 2 months past when it arrived from Amazon). Tasted as good as the bags that that were 2 months past that arrived as I was finishing the 9-month bag.

I have used fresh roasted coffee too.

I think the bigger issue is not the bean, but the machine. That could be a bumper sticker Smilie

I have a profitec 700 (upgraded from the 600) and a eureka mignon (with 65mm burrs).

Bad coffee tastes bad. But consistently bad. Good coffee always tastes good.

With lower quality hardware, espresso quality floats between good and bad when using good coffee. It's a crap shoot. An entire bag, or more, could taste bad. The the coffee gets the blame.
There is so much misinformation here. A simple Google search will show coffee stales much quicker than this.

I've had 6 months old MFG date pack sent to me once. That is not typical though. Usually it's max 2 months old like you said. But it is a lottery. Technically they can send you 20 months old coffee just because Lavazza stamps 2 year best before date.

As for nitrogen flush - sure, you can see that that bag is compressed. But put that in a shelf and after 6 months pack will inflate because coffee releases gasses naturally.

In any case, I consider 6 months old Lavazza stale, regardless of what they say on best before date.

My real world example, of brewing a bag nine months from the manufacturing date, and compare that to a bag the next day which is 2 months away from the manufacturing date, and there was no discernible difference.

Three people tasted that coffee. I doubt all of us have bad taste bud :-)

Just information. I didn't want to be argumentative but they could be various reasons of why we experience what we experience.

Everyone is different

I think the misinformation, and it is the main driving force on Reddit, is that if it's not fresh beans 2 weeks out from roasting date, it's crap. But that is not true.

I'm curious as to which espresso machine and grinder you have. It might help me understand more where you are coming from

It is amazing the sheer number of comments on SD nowadays that are people who hate the product just coming to give a generic post about how bad the product is. Nothing regarding their experience just "this sucks" kinda high school level commentary.

Bold of you to assume they went to high school lol.

For vast majority of people, this is a great deal on decent coffee. If you are a snob that loves local roaster beans that are less than 2 weeks old, you probably shouldn't be shopping for Lavazza anyway.

I have a superautomatic that I use in the mornings when things are hectic, and I've had this specific variety of Lavazza many times. It produces good enough espresso. I also have a Niche Zero and Bambino Plus that I like to mess around with in the afternoon and late nights, for which I will use better/fresher beans and will produce much better espresso. Point is one size does not need to fit all, and this is a great price for a good product that fits a lot of people.

Agreed. I lived in Seattle and still buy these beans or a variety as my daily driver. I buy more expensive beans from a local coffee shop to enjoy on weekends. But for daily drip coffee to put in my thermos on the way to work, these beans will work just great especially at this price point. One of the first replies to the naysayers was what compares at this price point but you won't get a response. Guess it's easier to come here and leave a one sentence response about stale beans and leave. SD used to be different. Now it's like being on Reddit.

Probably not trading the European date correctly
