The rest of France was absolute trash using Lavaza or comparable freeze dried garbage over poured and bitter.

I think if you are used to things like third wave coffee or single origin stuff, a clear sign to stay away is when a coffee place uses Lavazza or any of the supermarket grade stuff. Almost guaranteed to have a bad coffee.
Order placed and deposit paid for my next espresso machine. Let's hope it gets here soon.
