They always go quick, so I got a raincheck. Which is a win win- means you get freshly roasted beans!
Can you guys recommend mountain grown, organic, or normal Vittoria beans? It's a bit hard to try the first 2 without forking out $15 a bag (the girl didn't specify which ones on the raincheck, just Vittoria beans 1kg)Haven't tried the organic but rate the mountain grown as a decent drinkable coffee. I bought a couple of bags
Mountain grown is the best supermarket coffee I have tried, give it a go. Quite strong with good crema. Don't think you'll ever get truly fresh roast beans though, they'll always be at least two months old I'd say. But the bags with the valve do a good job of sealing them in. These are definitely good value, I can't always bring myself to spend $25+ a it for fresh roast.
Thanks for your advice! I usually go for the Aldi dark roast (red bag) - they're actually quite nice beans. Very high stock turnover, they are always running out. Usually 1-2wk old and on the shelf. The blue Aldi bag is gross.
I did see the ground Vittoria at Woolies that was 3wk old. Not too bad…but certainly not beans.
The aldi beans are my go to as well. Very good beans at a great everyday price
"means you get freshly roasted beans!" ?
think you mean less stale
The ground coffee I saw was only 3 weeks old, I have no doubt when they get fresh stock - it's relatively fresh
rule of 15s - not 100% scientific but good guide in practice
"freshness" lasts
15 minutes for ground coffee
15 days for roast beans
15 months for green coffee@HeXa: looking through all your comments, it was quite hard to find anything positive. This is a good deal, you can't always have your cake & eat it too!
@aryan12: I never said it wasn't a good deal - i was correcting your misconception about what freshly roasted meant
buying the whole beans is "better" than pre-ground - but don't mistake for one minute that there is anything fresh about these prepackaged coffee
nubzy has the right idea - buy the beans, grind as needed and use up within 2 weeks - not coffee snob fresh but certainly very drinkable
not 100% scientific
not even 1%. citation? Try giving even a vague definition. With coffee, it will not be anything to do with hydration, spoiling or texture. Loss of aromatics of some chemical change perhaps? 15 days may have a measurable change with no vacuum seal??
I have a friend who stacks 20 or more Vittoria 1kg bricks in her pantry, so it must be many months before she starts on the last one. The coffee always tastes good to me. Oh, if only I was a connoisseur: I would realise that it was terrible.
are these good for espresso machine?
Yes. Very acceptable double espresso from my $150 Sunbeam machine with mountain grown beans ground at 14 with the EM0480 grinder.
are, i meant the grounded ones for mountain grown cheers
Ideally, you want a finer grind for espresso machines.
Vittoria recommend the "oro" (gold blend) for pre-ground espresso, also currently $15 for 4x 250g.
But consider getting your own grinder.
Global coffee exports fell 6.8 percent in May from the same month last year to total 9.32 million 60-kg bags, the International Coffee Organization (ICO) said on Friday. - http://www.reuters.com/article/us-coffee-ico-exports-idUSKCN…
Might be more discounts coming soon with other brands.
Thanks got a couple of rainchecks
Good price, but I wouldn't pay RRP $37 for Vittoria (or any other coffee from the supermarket) in a pink fit. You can get a KG from your local roaster for that.
Jumped in and got some beans for the first time. Anyone know where to get a decent cheap grinder from?
Don't buy the cheapest grinder. You need a burr grinder. Cheapest recommendation is Sunbeam EM0840 which I saw a while ago on here for $100. I think I paid $150 for mine off Gumtree.
Thanks Nubzy - what's the difference between an el-cheapo and the better models?
The cheaper ones use a blade, they don't have variable settings and give a very inconsistent and less than acceptable grind. The burr grinder is much better and you can choose your grind between level 1 (fine) and level 25 (coarse). For the cheaper machines with pressurized baskets I find grinding at level 13-15 to be the best. Any lower and the machine will clog. The cheaper version of the EM0480 is the EM0440, it is plastic rather than stainless steel and it is currently $99 at 2nds World http://www.2ndsworld.com.au/-id-EM0440/?utm_source=gads&utm_…
Bought the mountain grown and drinking them as long black. Not bad. Last beans I bought were Medaglio Doro (1kg for $10 at IGA) and these are much better. Produce a better crema and have a stronger flavour. $15 for some drinkable supermarket beans is good value. Hope I can use them all within the next two weeks before they get too stale.
