Great review. I started using Cafe Bustelo on long backpacking trips prepared in my compact Aeropress. So much better than instant coffee in the back country. Now I drink it every morning.
Awesome to hear. I've yet to do backcountry camping but it's definitely something I'm interested in. Heck I have 4 brothers so i could easily make it happen lol 😆 Any tips on getting started?
@@AtHomewithLucas I should do a video on my CZcams channel with my standard load & gear for a 4 or 5 day backpacking trip. I live right outside of Yosemite National Park in the Sierras, so we backpack a lot. The biggest thing is good gear that is comfortable and only bring the bare essentials. I pack as light as possible with the essentials so I can bring a few luxury items like coffee, Aeropress, my tobacco pipe and a bit of bourbon or single malt Scotch. There has got to be a lot of CZcams channels to help you get started. Here are my essential gear items: backpack: Osprey Atmos AG 65, camp stove: JetBoil, water filtration: Katadyn Hiker Pro, coffee prep: Aeropress Go without the cup, Tent: North Face Tadpole 2, Sleeping bag: Big Agnes with a QCore pad, Bear canister: Bear Vault BV500, meals: Mountain House freeze dried. For food we open each pack and press out all of the air to save space. This is what my load-out has evolved to over time. This would be pricy if you got it all at once since I've acquired this gear over time. On Instagram my user profile is @kraigseder and I have pics of a lot of our backpacking trips.
Oh such good info I'm for sure taking notes. And yes make a video...also that park is on my place to see soon, I'm big into RVing so might be planning a trip next year 😁
It has a very different interesting taste to it, it is cheap but it's not "cheap". Couple of my co workers said they don't like it but I put a pot on and I loved it and now it's the only coffee that I drink.
I just watched your review of cafe bustelo -brazilian blend. Because I'm curious to try it (the Brazilian blend). I was never a big coffee drinker, but I did drink it once in a while. That is, until I made a friend who had immigrated from Cuba. She made me a cafecito, and I was hooked. It's whipped espresso sugar and a couple shots of espresso. I could never taste coffee the same after that. So she told me to just get some cafe bustelo so I could make it myself and now mornings just arent right without my bustelo! I have bricks of it just stacked in my coffee cabinet! I'm never going back! Just the smell of it... ugh it's so amazing!
@@AtHomewithLucas , I tried it for making a Sweet Creme Latte. For the price, not too bad. It reminds me of a coffee Dollar Tree sells called Café El Morro. The packaging is nearly identical. I suspect both use Robusta as the primary coffee bean. Robusta tends to have that old school, bold with a touch of bitter taste. btw , Walmart carries Café Bustelo in the brick and can.
So since I quit drinking I got big into coffee, I have a pour over, French press, and a percolator. I like to grind my own beans sometimes, but Café Bustello is my daily driver. I buy the can and the brick and make it in my pour over its great.
I believe Cafe Bustelo is manufactured at the same plant as Folgers in New Orleans after Smuckers bought them. You can also get the “Party Size” which come is a 36 oz Folgers style Can otherwise you have the traditional metal can.
I was shopping for espresso online. I found 2 different ones, one of which said 'brick'. It makes sense now I've seen your video. Would never have figured it out otherwise. Thanks!😊
It’s honestly just a great cup of coffee regardless of how you make it 😂 personally I do it as an espresso now, but as a traditional drip coffee it’s still a great choice.
I just tried this for the first time. The k-cup version. I found it a bit bitter and with a slight smell of cigarettes. I don’t smoke. So that’s what I thought about it. When you add sugar and creamer, it’s really good ... but I drink my coffee plane. I also tried the Colombian version and I found that to be better, with a more pleasant taste and not as strong as Espresso. I rate Colombian K-Cup 4/5 and Espresso 2/5 So far, my favorite is Stumtown. Still discovering new coffee.
If you get a chance, try the Bustelo Brazil blend. It is one of my favorites . The instant is my other favorite. All of the Café Bustelo blends are great . A few sizable teaspoons are all I need for a cup. That's just my own preference. Great review
I'm furious because I just now found out that Cafe Bustelo has sugar and carbohydrates when it should be 0g. And by not having a nutrition value label on the product that literally says it all.
@@AtHomewithLucas I was fasting for 72 hours and checked my ketone levels in the morning and found out that it was lower than average, so I did some research and found out that when I drank this coffee that I just recently bought and checked online nutrition facts shows all the data. Aka reason why it taste so good, sugar makes everything taste better 😆
I was in Publix a couple days ago and discovered Bustelo also has a "Supreme" version. It's even better, with a smother more mellow taste. For kicks, I'm going to mix the two to get a little of that 'Pow' found in the original. btw, If you can't find it at a grocery, Amazon caries it.
Peets Major Dickensian is probably my favorite store shelf coffee. But with the damn inflation going nuts I'm in search for a cheap coffee that doesn't lack in flavor. I literally drink coffee all day. I'm drinking a cup right now actually and it's 9:47pm I seen this in the market the other day and thought it might be good.
Have you ever tried "Cameron's Specialty Coffee"? They have so many assortments of flavors. I really love dark roasts the best. But as I have gotten a little older, my stomach cannot tolerate it. So, I generally stick with lighter roasts. You should try Cameron's. There is a flavor that fits anyone.
Okay so I found this info 👍😁 "since the beans are denser than a darker roast. However if you weigh out your scoops, darker roasts will have more caffeine, because there is less mass. ... And, as we know from our caffeine basics the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee is so minimal, we might not even notice the difference. Myth be damned"
Crema or froth doesn't last forever. Also it doesn't happen with every kind or brew. It's traditionally on top of an espresso shot. What water temperature did you brew at?
Also here are the coffees I drink you should try these are what I drink I don't know if it'll suit your needs but it suits mine The first one is coffee kult medium or dark roast they're both good and the coffee bean tea leaf espresso roast blend dark roast here's the link to the shop store.coffeebean.com/
I also drink coffee with half and half and sugar so yeah so I don't really know what it tastes like as a black coffee I don't have anything against black coffee but I just prefer the way it tastes with sugar and cream
I actually started drinking Espresso shots first (only had a breville Espresso machine) then switched to using a Keurig (reusable kcups)...also a good Espresso shot should taste yum 😋 lol
@@AtHomewithLucas thanks for the tip I have uploaded a few coffee videos myself but there kinda not updated since Christmas i have expensive equipment like a chemex a Gooseneck electric bonavita kettle etc etc
It's like all "wrong" coffee. When made in a Moka Pot it's flavour is bigger than made by other methods. Acquired taste but a must on occasions. Like the robusta burned tire notes which is a something I got used to. Robusta ? Yes, I think they may use it even if they don't admit it. Great grind for Moka Pot worse very well and makes excellent milk coffee. One thing I don't like it though is that the flavour dissipates quickly as you approach the second half of the bag even if I keep it in in the freezer. Strange.
@@AtHomewithLucas 🤷♂️ no problem never seen a person take coffee so seriously that they act like they're at a rum tasting convention It is a bit extreme Bub.
Kind of pretentious coffee snobbery with all that slurping and smacking of your lips while tasting. But I understand you're trying to get viewership for your CZcams channel........................................
The best way to brew Café Bustelo is in a Moka Pot. I buy these bricks at Dollar General or Walmart. No need to order it.
I need to get a moka pot. The last one I had made my coffee taste like metal. 🤦♂️🤷♂️

This is awesome coffee on a budget. Just bought a giant can of it for my office for 8.99. Hard to beat.
Yes this is great coffee. I like it because it's so different. But thanks for sharing 💯😁
My life every morning for the last decade.
Awesome 👌 💯😁
It has a very different interesting taste to it, it is cheap but it's not "cheap". Couple of my co workers said they don't like it but I put a pot on and I loved it and now it's the only coffee that I drink.
Yes once you learn to like this coffee you will love it. Too many coffee taste the same but this stands out for sure 😁👍💯

@@AtHomewithLucas definitely!
Yep, I gotta try this. Finding a good coffee bean right now is nearly impossible
Keep me updated with what you think 😁

Yeah they are definitely Robusta bean...happy you enjoyed the coffee and I'll definitely have to buy a brick next time I'm in Wal-Mart 💯😃

Good info my friend 👍 😊
And cafe morro one I like one I don’t but I don’t remember if it’s the morro or bustello

Happy I could have been of some help 💯😁

Yes I will definitely review that coffee soon 😊 and thank you
Try it with frothed milk and a teaspoon of sugar. Like a regular cup with cream and sugar. I think you will like it
Okay will definitely try that 👍 🙂

Try it iced with a bit a caramel sauce and creamer.
Oh that does sound delicious 😋
Wanting To try this I use aero press.My personal favorite is San Francisco Bay brand French roast from costco.
I haven't tried that yet but definitely will soon 😁
Nice review! You get a like from me 👍🏾
Thank you very much 💯😁
I drink cafe Bustelo every morning.
Thanks for sharing 😁
I mix this in with my Folger Gourmet Supreme and Cold Brew. When I want hot coffee I just microwave it.
Oh, that is a mix...I also enjoy mixing coffee ☕️ 😀
at Dollar Tree too!!! 👍
Oh that's awesome 👌
@@AtHomewithLucas Are you a close-talker?

Best thing to do is have your favorite coffee (Peets) then have an affordable coffee...so you can save money and love your favorite coffee more 😁
At Puerto Rico sell this coffee any stores. Where I live
Nice...you like it best? 😁
@@AtHomewithLucas Yes there another coffee is good of Pilon coffee brick package too. Pilon is good too
Okay I'll try to buy some for a review 🙂
@@AtHomewithLucas ok
I tried the Columbian today it was pretty smooth! Smoother than the Brazil k-cup.
I reviewed both of those on this channel 😀 love all Cafe Bustelo so far 😁

Yes I have i did a review on the breakfast blend czcams.com/video/SQs7shvO_hI/video.html

? My understanding is dark roasts are less acidic and have less caffeine?

all the crema was gone in the aeropress :(

What's your favorite coffee from all the coffee you've had over the years so far ?
Holler Mtn Blend (Stumptown) is still my favorite 😋
@@AtHomewithLucas I'll try it

Pour a shot of unsweetened Bustelo over a small scoop of salted caramel oat milk ice cream...🥰
Yum 😋 that sounds amazing 😁💯
thanks for having too low audio early on then blasting it
Did you have headphones on or something?
@@AtHomewithLucas lol, no, but you should not upload something with two diff audio levels
Okay, thanks for your feedback 🙂
Nice review! Good looking guy... only wish his hair color and beard color can match...👍👍👍😁😁😁

How do you drink straight espresso that's so strong how do you do it?
I actually started drinking Espresso shots first (only had a breville Espresso machine) then switched to using a Keurig (reusable kcups)...also a good Espresso shot should taste yum 😋 lol
@@AtHomewithLucas I have a moka pot and a 1995 Salton espresso machine and I can't drink it straight up black
If you water it down at first it will help them gradually use less water until it's straight Espresso...or Espresso and a little bit of water lol
@@AtHomewithLucas thanks for the tip I have uploaded a few coffee videos myself but there kinda not updated since Christmas i have expensive equipment like a chemex a Gooseneck electric bonavita kettle etc etc
