Question 1

What is the difference going from Super Crema to Gran Crema?

Accepted Answer

Both are medium roasts.  However, the Gran Crema is 40% South America arabica and 60% Southeast Asia robusta beans, where Super Crema is 60% Southeast Asia robusta beans and and 40% South American arabica beans, so the Super Crema is going to be more delicate with brighter tones (more fruity) while the Gran Crema is going to have deeper and richer tones, more chocolate-y and nutty.

For those who say that these beans are bitter, they--or their machine--may be overextracting the beans. If grinding your own, may want to try a coarser grind to make less bitter. If sour, may want to try grinding finer. Can be a little difficult to distinguish the two, so may want to do some research online for how to differentiate.

Regarding the flavor of creama (not this product, but generally speaking), creama usually does not taste very good. What crema does help do is allow one to identify how well their extraction went.

Question 2

How many servings are in this bag?

Accepted Answer

It all depend on how you use it.  I use 19 grams of beans to pull a 36 gram 28 second espresso shot (I use a non-pressurized filter).  2.2 lbs = 1000 grams, thus, I get about 52 cappuccinos.  I probably average about 2.5 per day, therefore, each bag lasts me about 3 weeks.   With a pressurized filter, the standard is 7 grams per shot, therefore, 140 shots.  Using my chemex I will use 10 grams per cup, therefore I get 100 cups.  Many people use 7 grams per cup, so they will get 140 cups.  Hope this helps.  (btw, this comes to about 45 cents per cappuccino, with milk it comes to 60 cents each,  at 2.5 per day I spend $1.50 for what would cost me $10 per day at  Starbucks (the McDonald's of coffee).

Question 3

Is this suitable for espresso machine？

Accepted Answer

This is DEFINITELY suitable for an espresso machine

Question 4

Would this coffee be good to use in a regular drip coffeemaker, or is an espresso maker required? Thank you!

Accepted Answer

It works perfectly fine in a drip coffee maker.  I drink primarily espresso but will grind some when I go on vacation.  It works well, the coffee tastes good as far as drip coffee goes and is still way more caffeinated than most American brands.
