Hi all,
Been a long-time lurker, but this is my first post.
Im after some advice on buying pre-ground coffee. Hate the store-bought. Too coarse, and too old. Ive been buying from Caesars at Erina (Central Coast NSW), but, although its fresh and they grind it well, Ive come to the conclusion that its just not to my taste.
So I want to try something else.
Requirements:
1) No supermarket pre-ground.
2) I dont wanna have to buy a grinder - so it has to be pre-ground.
3) Being on the Central Coast, I have to have it delivered.
4) I like it rich and strong. When I go out (even in Sydney) I order double-strength lattes. Its a rare occasion that I get something nice (to my taste).
5) Having said that, the best coffees I remember having in the city were from pretty mainstream looking places. And two of them were working with Vittoria coffee. (I suspect they must get it fresher than the supermarkets?)
My machine is a Spidem Trevi Plus. Entry level, I know, but does a better job than the Breville-types, I believe. It puts out a rich, dark result, with a nice tall head of dense crema.
If all else fails, Ill invest in a good machine and grinder, but I really dont wanna spend that much money before exhausting all options. As the Caesars blend is the only freshly ground stuff Ive tried, Id like to see if theres something else out there to my taste.
Any advice gratefully accepted.
Cheers.
Glenn
