this was almost word-for-word what I said when they made me try pike for the first time!

Seriously me, I feel like most dark roasts taste like tomatoes

PIKES PLACE IS DISGUSTING! MOST OF OUT BREWED COFFEES ARE NASTY!
I hate that Starbucks, a multi-billion dollar coffee company, has us brewing garbage. C'mon, get your shit together, and give us something we can be proud to sell.

I think some of our darks are tolerable, but I really hate anything lighter than that. I do think our espresso is pretty decent though personally, although it might just be that the few local coffee shops I've been to in my area make absolutely horrible espresso. One of the places here has espresso that I straight up cannot drink on its own, or in something like a cappuccino. It's bearable in a latte with some liquid sweeteners, but god I dislike it.
Again though, that could just be me, as my friend really likes their espresso even if it does taste like bird shit.

This new Rwanda one is the first coffee (in 3 yrs) I've ever actually tasted the notes it says on the bag. Quite pleased. 😂😂😂

Not your fault when you’re working with overroasted, mass produced shit. I really only drink Reserve coffee roasts; some of those are quite good actually. Other than that- support your local coffee shops! -A tired 255****

Whats your recommendation for reserve beans? I tend to like darker roasts, and might take a trip to the nearest reserve store to buy some.

The Indonesia East Java is really good.
CalDoesMaths2 points4y ago
I’ll have to give it a try, thanks!
Edit: can reserve stores do pour overs of their reserve roasts? I’d like to try it before getting a bag.
killrdarknes2 points4y ago
I suppose they could, but Reserve stores often have this machine called a “Clover” which is like a reverse French press, where the coffee grounds are pushed through a filter. Really good that way, honestly better than a pour over (paper filters absorb the coffee oils which reduce subtle flavor notes).

I always feel like a absolute snob during a coffee tasting I hate it
