I'd be curious to see what you think of that!

I typically blond the Lavazzo Oro with the Rossa. The red one is sometimes a little too 'dark' in flavor, the gold is quite light but flavorful. Together they make an EXCELLENT blend!
I exclusively make espresso.

The percolator and pour-over made very good mellow coffee but it completely lost the floral/fruity notes that made the Oro special.
In the moka pot, it unexpectedly made for a slightly bitter coffee. Neither the Oro, nor the Rossa alone produced that result. I don't get it; but I don't have any more of the mix to try it a second time. The coffee was still good though.
Interesting results, I only make espresso maybe there's something in that.
If you press the coffee too much in the moka you may get a bitter coffee.Finally came back to report on this experiment. I only had enough Oro left to make a 50/50 mix with the Rossa for one percolator, one pour-over, and one moka-pot.
Keep in mind that my Oro package had been open for a few weeks more than the Rossa, and the Rossa package was not the freshest to begin with.

Not sure this is the case here, but it'd stand to reason I think
Bustelo isn't bad. The Supreme is worth the extra money.
Picked up a fresh-ground bag of much-touted Starbucks espresso coffee, and, though better (in my 15-bar machine) than La Llave and Lavazza, it also does not measure up to Bustelo Supereme ... cannot find a better tasting espresso coffee. To me and Mrs. AA, that is.
Next up: Black Rifle Co. "AK-47 Espresso."
We also have a bag of Pilon Supremo to try ... but. Bustelo and Pilon are both owned by the same company and taste pretty similar.

Don't want to hijack the thread but I've been using bustelo supreme in my Moka Pot with not good results. What is your process for using it in the moka pot?
Thanks for your help,
