Huge coffee = little difference

Hello there,
I was thinking about this post entry through few days and I decided to clear up a little this freshness of coffee. Actually, I know that this freshness costs an arm and a leg, so I chose a packet of 1kg "concern" coffee, which is decidedly cheaper than the freshest, to do a comparison. Couldn't be the concern coffee fresh too? Supposedly it could, but it's impossible to check :), manufacturers like that do not give a roast date.
I bought two of Lavazza coffee bean, "Qualita ORO" and "Crema e Gusto". I prepared it by 24 second time of 94°C water. Result was a little surprising to me. Exactly it was potable :), I mean, Qualita ORO as espresso was even better than badly roasted 2 weeks coffees...
The recipes for the best latte with Crema e Gusto:
-Double espresso shot
-Chocolate syrup 
-Frothed milk
And to decorate chocolate chips or cacao powder :)

Why I wrote it? I know a lot of people for whose the best coffee is that one prepared by other person, so the truth is that's better to drink coffee brewed of recently grounded cheaper beans when we want to try if we need something more demanding or it is that what we're looking for and save a lot of money to try only the better one at coffee shops once a week. The quite good fresh coffee for espresso costs approx. 130 zł (~£26)/1kg and this concern one costs 55 zł (~£11)/1kg. Try to buy first a smaller packets to try the taste.

That's all
See ya!

El Salvador and Brazil

Hello there This post will be the same as last one, because it's continuation of taste series. Today, I'll present coffee of Brazil and El Salvador. With every brew, unfortunately, I've been realizing that the roast grade is accidental... But anyway I prepare the same brewings, i.e., Espresso, Latte, Alternative one (usually in Chemex). So this two were quite good. It is my subjective note. For more information about how I'm brewing and appraising it please read the last update. Salwador SHG: Taste profile (of manufacturer): cinnamon and spicy with berries aftertaste. Opinion: Alternative=3/5, Latte=4/5, Espresso=3,5/5. Why: Roasted to dark to conserve the taste as an alternative, in espresso was like others, I mean, nothing original. Brazylia Santos: Taste profile (of manufacturer): mango, melon, orange and black tea.  Opinion: Alternative: 3,25/5, Latte=4/5, Espresso=4/5. Why: Like Salwador roasted to dark and it's impossible to extract tha...

Strong enough

Hello there, Do you remember the coffee that I mentioned in the last post entry? That one which time of freshness keeps for 3 months. So today I want to give you some information about it. Well, it's darkly roasted coffee with a mysterious sticker on package... I think that's a strong woman, but maybe it's a picture that shows how somebody could feel after drinking it, I don't know, but it's kind of funny picture, look at it!   So, the aesthetic part we have done, it's good to get down to the taste. Its destination is rather to express machine or French pot than to Chemex or Dripper, because of dark roasted level. It contains 100 % of arabica coffee beans, but it's not a single origin, well it comes from Brazil, Guatemala, Salvador, Costa Rica and India. The taste is quite good, I mean, not surprising, but also not disappointing. It's a good gift for someone who we don't know so much. I'm talking (writing) about espresso, in the cause of...

How to start...

Hello there, Maybe it's too late to resolve the title problem. I refer to how to start drinking coffee in another (at least no typical way, only grounded coffee with boiled water or instant). At first, it's good to ask yourself what amount of money you can spend on it. I'll demonstrate few basic options to start it well. The first one can be hario v60 dripper the basic set with dripper, serving pot, 50 paperfilters and plastic spoon which can be used to measure costs approx. £15. Basic Rhinowaveres hand grinder costs approx. £28 and basic gooseneck kettle (you can bought it even for £1, but for check the real cost I will calculate it with £10 price. I assume that everyone has timer and kitchen thermometer. Equals £53. Second one can be Chemex which costs approx. £30 with £10 filters and £28 grinder equals £68 (for 4 cups set). The same price if you want to buy aeropress. Third one can be French press which costs approx. £8 (at Ikea store) with grinder equals £36. And ...
