Here's one for you all...
I'm using Illy espresso ground at the moment, but am interested in trying strange new OTP brands. I see the Lavazza stuff in the red packet in most shops, but don't know if it's the right type of grounds for an espresso machine. It says on the pack that it's suitable for all types of coffee maker, but surely if it's an espresso ground it'll be too fine to produce good results in a french press or filter machine, the same as a filter ground won't work well in an espresso maker or moka pot?
Would this stuff work, or is there a particular Lavazza ground I should be looking for? Sorry if this seems obvious, but I bought some 'OTP' coffee a while ago that said 'espresso' but turned out to be too coarse for my espresso makers.
