To drink is called an AmericanO not an AmericanA :) also that's not how you make it. An Americano is one or two shots of coffee and in your mug is completely filled with water not just a shot of water. American soldiers in World War II invented it in Italy because the coffee was too strong and he wanted to replicate American style coffee that was much weaker and more like a percolator. Also like I said in another comment you didn't really pay much attention to the settings they're telling you to use. The big hint is it looks like you're grind isn't right, the amount in your grind isn't right you used way too much pressure when you were camping and that's why it was taking so long to extract. I'm not a coffee snoot but you should at least know if your coffee is having trouble don't Tamp it as hard
This is so wholesome! God i love the quality that goes towards your video, Im an experienced barista, so few pointers For beans if its cheap, oily and light more likely its a darker roast, a darker roast coffee is typically used in masking the low quality of the beans. This coffees generally tend to go towards the bitter harsh side. Tamp harder, also your shot seems a bit slow, maybe adjust it buy grinding courser, There is absolutely alot of videos online on dialing in your coffee. im glad to see you keep the whole beans and not grinding it all at once, trust me on this dialing in will change your game, coffee im sure you'll love it, anyways loving the energy here! Keep brewing sir!
@@AtHomewithLucas no they do not, oily beans are an indication of old or kind of roasted a while ago, its typically seen in dark roast, remember the oilier the beans, the older it its, specially for dark roast, the premium part is just their marketing strategy, keep brewing sir its very enjoyable!
You might want to weigh your beans and get a dosing funnel. Weighing is important. If you need a suggestion for a cheap one, that a lot of people use, let me know.
Usually local coffee shops that make coffee, not chains, but the local ones, sell whole beans. Some grocery stores do, but it should have a roast on date. An example is Target. They have one brand, black cat espresso, that says the rosted on date.
That might be fine, but Amazon does drop-shipping. I would order online from the coffee roaster, themselves, or a company that deals with the roasters, themselves.@@AtHomewithLucas
There's no such thing as an espresso bean. Dark roasted coffee is typically used for espresso. Sometimes you'll find "espresso roast" on the label, but espresso beans don't exist.
Yeah, definitely. I'm just on the Lavazza bean right now. There beans just make the best espresso. When I was using my Philips super automatic daily, I didn't care as much. But espresso machines demand quality coffee.
@@JMWexperience sir it is, an espresso roast makes it better for milked drinks as it enhances body. Have you tried light roast espresso? Pair it with milk, yeah absolutely terrible

Hey thanks for the tips! I'll definitely apply them! Also do you think some companies cover beans in "added oil" to make them look more premium?

Yeah, I'm the worst at doing all the things when it comes to making espresso extractions. I'm in need of more knowledge and gadgets. 😀
Where should i buy this from? I dont know anywhere in store that sells espresso beans and amazon has these anywhere from 5 months to 10 months old
I got mine from Amazon. But it's roasted in Italy so some people say it's not as fresh as it could be. My bag was pretty fresh.

Great info 😊
You can't buy this coffee from Lavazza's website as far as I know.

Hey, thanks for sharing. Yeah, I totally agree with all you said. But some coffee is better for espresso machines. Say, how do you brew your coffee?
Dark roast is not typically used for espresso because it is too oily. A light to medium roast is better.
Yeah, definitely. I'm just on the Lavazza bean right now. There beans just make the best espresso. When I was using my Philips super automatic daily, I didn't care as much. But espresso machines demand quality coffee.
