Cafe' Bustelo Review
Well this wasn't my first time trying Cafe' Bustelo. I read online it was the number one cuban coffee in America. All people drink it not juts spanish. But I know the spanish people rave about it. I have yet to meet a spanish person that doesn't have a brick of Bustelo in their cabinet. LOL. So I wanted to try it really bad. Well the first time my father in law made me the instant version in a regular drip coffee maker. YUCK. It was so bad couldn't even drink it. . Second time was last week. I got the regular vacum packed version. It was supposed to be the "espresso blend". I made it the authentic way with the stove top moka pot. I thought it would be good. It had a nice fine consistency so I was thinking great. This will be perfect for espresso. I really wanted to love it... But once again I was let down. It had a really bitter taste during and after drinking. Honestly , I didn't even finish it. Which the worst thing I hate doing is wasting anything in li
Hi,
ReplyDeleteHow do you manage to produce such a thick crema? I have my Brikka since 1 week and haven't figured it out yet. I am following the standard instructions (water up to mark, full coffee holder, medium heat, lid open). The coffee is Lavazza Oro. I would appreciate any help in this regard :)

Hi Sebastian. Thank you so much for writing to me. This was actually a video I found on youtube. I actually haven't mastered the perfect "crema" either with my Brikka either. I also actually bought Lavazza too. I love it in my Keurig machine lol. But I guess maybe the different coffee's produce different crema's from what i've read up about. Let me know when you find your perfect blend and please keep sharing !!!I will post as much info I can on producing a great crema just for you :)
