Me anytime we do a coffee tasting, while others somehow taste fruit or chocolate flavors

One of my favorite flavor profiles is “Earthy”...um, no. I think you mean dirt. It tastes like dirt.

Fucking Italian roast

And fucking French roast. I once had to grind S E V E R A L pounds of French roast for a customer— on TURKISH. The bitter smell of a fish monger’s burning trash heap will haunt me forever

To people who say their coffee tastes like nothing, you're right. Visit a local coffee shop in your area. I got really used to tasting actually GOOD coffee. I dont always pick up on all the little notes, but it takes a while to develop the taste. Same way with wine, liquor, beer, etc.
I never tasted anything and I thought I was the only one. There were slight, subtle differences between the roasts but nothing I could really describe. Not like these people who would say all sorts of bullshit like chocolate, fruit, vanilla, or whatever. They were just tart, bitter, or burnt to me. Or, blonde, medium, or dark.
I thought I just had a shitty underdeveloped taste palette til I went to local shops.
Try looking for shops that roast in house. If not, supplied by bold bean. Im still looking around for other companies, but its not exactly cheap lol. And I only buy coffee for a week or 2, not stocking multiple roasts.
Now I just give my coffee away.
EDIT: I realized I typed out a huge wall of text, but Ive been with the company for a bit. Im getting annoyed the company is just a desert shop now with coffee that also sells chinese thermoses and plastic cups.

*supervisor walks over* “Could you please burn-I mean roast those again. Set the roasters to broil.”
“But sir, it’ll ruin the flavor of the beans if we roast it that-“
“DID I STUTTER? CREMATE THOSE BEANS YOU IMBECILE.”

Flavors of fruit, floral, and nut, in my butt??? What!?!
upandadam1993 [OP] 4 points 3y ago
I said what what in the butt. I said what what in the butt. You want coffee that tastes like butt, tastes like butt? I said what what in the butt.

oh good, not just me, so many new blends working OT in the burnt kush flavor territory

I’m so pissed they got rid of doing blonde roasts in their passport series. Some of the medium roasts in the series are ok but the dark roasts are absolute dog shit. At least with the light roasts you’d get stuff almost resembling stuff from indie coffee shops as far as flavor and overall drinkability.

Starbucks roast profile/descriptions remind me of all this craft beer flooding the market. You read it, sounds good, taste it and it's skunk beer, you can't taste a single flavor profile that they described! The first time I tried Starbucks, some 15-20 years ago, I couldn't get past the burnt flavor, now I know about blond roast and I swap that in any chance I get!

Ha! This is a very accurate comparison.
