My brother-in-law made me a coffee snob. So, he surprised me with this Lavazza Espresso. I honestly thought it would taste like "Welcome Centre" coffee, but it was not bad. Sweet, oily, and quite easy to enjoy. But, it's just one of those things where I would only buy it if there were not many other choices.

Pointless fun fact with name drop, cause I am the main character right now, the cappuccino cup I am using came as a set, that was a gift from retired NBA player Danillo Gallinari. They were two, one fell and broke when I was in Texas. I have it in a box and will super glue it together some day. Also included were two espresso cups that I've never used.

I usually won’t touch anything from a supermarket or bulk store. My machine just does not perform well with them.

However I find in some places ALDI do a decent budget bean. You have to check the dates but the quality of bean, the small range (usually just three roasts, or the occasional special roast) and fast turn around of product is a real good value offering.
