I bought 10 kicking horse and still have 6 Lavazza Rosa from the previous sale....trying to resist!TransporterSD wrote: ↑ thanks ordered, have 5 Kicking horse and now Lavazza on it's way. I think it's enough for me.
This is better than Rosa, I have the Rosa, but it wasn’t the bean version and I can’t stand the cheap taste. This for the fact I know tastes good and I love to grind my own beans to get that smell in the morning when I do my Americano or espresso or eXpresso as some say
I grind these beans using a Burr Grinder and make the coffee in either a French Press or Percolator. I expect that a filter machine would be just fine.gerrythegreat wrote: ↑ Anyone use these with regular filter machine or is it mostly for espresso?
I grind this for French Press and I find the taste heavier than Rossa. Rossa gets 'old' quick, after a few mornings with it you want something else.

I put a little less for French Press or a little more water.
Not a crazy deal or a crazy amazing coffee. Coffee beans I aim for $10 a kilo...unless it's kicking horse.
Works great i a regular coffee maker. I do it all the time. Sadly, this is now oos.gerrythegreat wrote: ↑ Anyone use these with regular filter machine or is it mostly for espresso?
Good question! So, it's easiest to think of espresso as being just another method of preparing coffee. So you could use dark roast beans, medium roast beans, hell, you could use some McCafe beans, and make them into an espresso.
