So ran out of coffee, and ordered Lavazza Gusto Crema. Brewed the first cup today, and honestly, got disappointed.

- Roast is pretty uneven

- Packet claims Medium-Dark roast, but beans look like a Dark roast only with a handfuls of light beans tossed in.. lol

- Grinded with Kingrinder @ 50 clicks, brewed espresso with Delonghi Dedica and made a milk latte. Espresso has a ‘burnt’ taste which overpowers the good aromas of coffee which I have had before.

Question to the espresso experts -

Is this normal to expect from Lavazza, or am I expecting too much from Lavazza?

Any suggestions to make the brew better… :)
