don't get me wrong, it's great, just do we need a post a day about it?

I also found that these large Lavazza bags last too long for me. They are old by the time I finish the bag. It's Nobody's fault. I store them properly. The Resulting espresso tastes ok, but not great.
I am breaking the SD code here, but I have found that locally roasted, smaller, more expensive bags are worth the money. The cost of the beans is low, considering the equipment cost or comparing to cost of coffee shop espresso drinks.
Whole Foods parrtners with local roasters, or in house roasts, it's store brand beans. The roasting is fresh. the flavor profiles are interesting. If you are passionate about espresso it is a good way to try good quality, fresh beans. Local roasters can be good too, probably even better, but the WF approach is convenient and cost effective. .
Thanks for the post op. 6 months ago I might have been in for one. It is a good product at a good price but there are better options for me.

It's super simple to operate, press the button, it roasts, collects the chaff in one cycle. It's like an air popcorn maker with a special lid that collects the annoying chaff. You can only do 4 oz at a time with it, but I find myself roasting every few days (in the garage or outside due to the smoke). The results are pretty amazing and repeatable. It works really well for me. The only problem I have is getting the beans to gas off enough, too much crema becomes the issue. When I roast a batch, I put the freshly roasted beans on top of the "old" beans (old by a few days to a week) in my grinder. This ensures the beans that are ground have had a little time to degas.
Green coffee beans average around $7.80 per pound so not necessarily cheap, but they store easily long term, and the aroma and flavor from using "fresh" roasted beans is unmistakable. You can find them on Amazon or Ebay https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_...b&_s
I usually use Ebay. It's actually a lot of fun exploring the different beans from different origins.
When I don't use beans I've roasted, I buy these Lavazza deals. Nothing wrong with that either.

And I agree, the Lavazza beans are a really good product , especially when fresh. I like the ones in the blue bag, grand crema I think.
