Maybe try a milk-based coffee if you don't like short blacks.
i think the issue OP has is the quality of the coffee, not the type of beverage.
Lol never said I don't lik like short blacks.
I had no problems drinking black with pods.Guess it's going to be just some testing out different beans.
what sort of coffee machine are you using?, cause if it is a proper one, making coffee taste good is an artform, not everyone can just make coffee taste good, especially in a short black, there is nowhere to hide
They have started sucking in the last few months. Would not recommend.
Are you in WA? Fremantle Coffee Roasters are $24.99 / KG at Spudshed, and they are batch stamped, so you can get fresh beans that are less then 2 weeks old.
Try the Peru single origin, very mild and good for any coffee you make.
I like a dark espresso roast. I drink long black, double shot, no sugar. I got the taste, if you understand…
I tried the ALDI darkest roast (Lavazzo?) a couple of years ago and thought it ordinary at best.
Was persuaded to try it again a couple of weeks back, and found it much better this time.
I suspect their beans and roast are prone to change as Aldi changes its suppliers.
Conclusion; for now it is to my taste.
I thought ALDI just used the one supplier from Melbourne for their coffee?
I have tried a lot of different beans and find that their dark roast is up there with most of the stuff you get from specialty coffee places and better than any other supermarket stuff I have tried. I drink long black. And you can't argue with around $12 for a kg bag, which lasts me about 2 weeks
I buy the 'Lazzio Dark Beans' from Aldi. Roasted and supplied by 'Black Bag Roasters'. - Excellent value coffee, and good for short blacks!
I'm also in Adelaide.
I really tried, but none of their stuff made me (espresso) and my wife (cappuccino) happy.
Same for the Coles ones.I went back to Java Coffee at Newton for my beans.
Yep, it's $39/kg but life is way too short for crook coffee( and wine!).
Currently drinking their Zambian beans and swap for the Ethiopian Girgaffe - both are great for espressos and cut nicely through the milk coffee.Your taste may differ from mine.
anything on the shelf is old and stale.
get fresh locally roasted, it's a game changer.
Dunno why you were negged for giving good advice.
+vote given.
I didn't neg but Aldi turnover is pretty fast, plus you can check the roast date on the pack to be sure.
Thanks ill see what I can find locally.
Plenty of good roasters here.
Where in ADL are you?
I'm in Salisbury area.
How fresh are Aldi roasted beans? I've been seeing a lot of people talking about Aldi beans but I've never seen freshly roasted beans in supermarkets (Coles Woolies)? Do they have a roast date on the packaging?
you won't find in supermarkets, it sits on the shelf for ever. campos has a roast date, but the rest have an expiry date for 2+ years since coffee doesn't technically expire.
i love local freshly roasted whole beans. i only buy enough that i can finish in a week or 2. you will see on here a lot on sale and great deals.
you have to grind your beans seconds before you brew it, game changer.
I haven't tried it yet but I saw it at Woolies.
Sacred Grounds coffee with a roast date.
Most of them within two weeks - perfect time to consume as most coffee will be hitting their peak.
Roughly $36 a kilo without the hassle of post.Tried Sacred Ground Coffee. Really good and surprisingly fresh. My fav is Breezy blend. Very low acidity and smooth
Try cafes nearby that serve coffee how you make it at home (pour-over, espresso, etc) until you find one you like, then buy beans directly from them. 99% of the time they will sell it at a similar price to what you get at Aldi.
u sure? Aldi beans are 15-20$ per kilo, most cafes sell 40-50+ per kilo
Depends on the cafe. My local sold me theirs for a few dollars more than they get them wholesale. If they retail coffee beans, they're likely going to charge retail prices - you'd be better served just asking cafes that don't advertise beans to sell. Usually wholesale beans don't come in fancy packaging, they're plain without any markings on them other than roast date and batch code.
I don't mind the single origin blends. Best bet is to try a few and see how you go. You'll get 100 different opinions as its all down to personal taste.
