Lavazza Super Crema V60 Result (startrek.website)

I ordered a bag of Lavazza Super Crema for playing with my espresso machine, but wanted to try it out in the V60 for kicks.

Set the ESP to 24 and ground 17g. Brewed with 320ml of water. Coming from mostly light roasts, this taste a bit on the dark side for me, but overall a good balanced cup of coffee. I may go corser on the next brew, maybe 26.

I did 50ml for bloom (30 seconds) Add 70ml wait ten seconds Add 100ml wait ten seconds Add final 100ml

Happy brewing.

Palette sounds dialed in enough to agree with what most would say about super crema. Not unpleasant, quite drinkable, fairly forgiving to brew, but yeah not something that lights up your eyes. You noted the shiny beans, best to avoid those types of roasts (typically over roasted). Try a local roaster if you haven't already, might not have a dedicated espresso blend but can ask which bean they recommend for good espresso.
