Cafe' Bustelo Espresso Ground Coffee Review

August 15, 2018

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: hey welcome to coffee coffee coffee your place for average Joe coffee reviews

today’s coffee comes in a brick so today we are reviewing café Bustelos I’m

probably saying that wrong like I do for everything I’m sure you’re not you’re

wonderful it’s the espresso ground coffee that

they have there this isn’t the only thing that they make I guess not

I’ve seen like a red bag I think other times I think right but anyway point is

this was super cheap mm-hmm it was 460 a pound yeah

so that’s super cheap yeah we say anything under five really it close to

five is super cheap but the brick is only ten ounces so it was 288 or something like that or

the brick and sometimes I’ve heard Mr drumming’s one of our watchers said that

sometimes you can get them buy one get one free I think is what he said or two

bricks for you know five dollars which is cheap that is super cheap yeah that’s

like cheaper than Dollar Tree coffee yeah gettin’ there the question though is is it good well the

real question is how do they get all the air out of that brick like are there people

at the factory that fill up the bag with coffee and then somebody well while

another guy is sealing it certainly pretty sure not to help vacuum packing

works anywhere no no I’ve been totally misinformed Wikipedia article was

incorrect I should suggest an edit Jimmie

Wales

so this coffee is super good I would say very surprising it is surprising like

the first time we had it I really thought it was Pete’s I I did like I

thought it because it had this kind of bitter flavor it’s kind of calmed down

now that it’s kind of the bag has aired out a bit but it was really delicious

and it really it still is it’s like really good coffee

yeah it’s surprisingly good so I don’t think I would pick it up as the thing to

get right okay I go yeah yeah good it’s inexpensive

yeah and it tastes fine mm-hmm yeah but it’s it doesn’t have those big flavors

like we like in the better quality coffee yeah I will say the first cup

that we had like the bitterness it did remind me of Peet’s because it has that

kind of a peets can sometimes be bitter but the further I got in the cup I kind

of didn’t want to drink the whole thing because it was just it was like too much

but now that it’s kind of mellowed I do enjoy it more but yeah I mean it’s you

know it is super cheap copy so you know and so it’s kind of roasty it’s kind of

one of the things we’ve got and then a little bit of a chocolaty maybe just a

hint you know I think it’s really good I think I like it a little bit better than

you do probably I don’t know

I’m doesn’t make me a better person I have I have recently switched to no

sugar in my coffee so that’s changed a little bit now I didn’t do a lot of

sugar in the beginning anyway it was like a little less than a tablespoon or

something like that but it changes it but still I’m learning to enjoy the

coffee as much as I was yeah just so that way I could have un

tainted reviews of the coffee right on my end I’ll just keep my half and half

and that’s fine because the purpose of these reviews is to drink coffee the way

that people drink coffee right right because there aren’t people sitting up

there slurping and tasting just little

teaspoonfuls of coffee that’s they have half-and-half in

it that’s right and you drink a full mug of it yeah

but then again some people drink it black so that’s what I went for right

there mm-hmm doughnut wise what would you say it is a

super cheap coffee it’s drinkable it’s serve-able to friends you think four

apparently that was too high well I think that there’s not enough to draw me

back to it there’s there’s nothing that pushes me away from it you know the more

I sit here and drink it the more but you know when we when we reach an impasse

like this we do have to compromise so three and a half I think three and a

half you would give it at least a three and I would give it a four I yeah but I

think I’m just enjoying I think this is more of along my flavor flavor profile

yes those are two difficult words to say at the same time playbor probile so thank you

mister drumming’s for the suggestion I’m glad I finally picked it up we see it in

the store all the time and of course you say a brick coffee yeah I don’t think so

you try not to be a snob but yeah at the same time it’s like anybody does that I think

anybody does that right right well you had to think maybe I’m gonna be chief

it’s not gonna be good we have certainly found that it’s not the case there are

some really good cheap coffees yeah yeah have you had café Bustelo espresso

ground coffee or their other varieties I think at the store the other day I only

noticed the yellow bag they could have more maybe that particular Walmart

Walmart only sold the yellow one because nobody bought the red one or whatever

colors there are otherwise or maybe I’ve just dreamed that there are others they

do sell other coffees in bricks well yeah

but now I’m talking specifically cafe I don’t know we’ll see we’ll see and

you’ll tell us in the comments below if we are correct well thanks for joining

us for this review and until next time keep grindin
