I though it could be fun to list our least favorite roasts from the past week, maybe with a description on why you disliked it. This way we could round out the “what are you brewing” posts with a sort of “I won’t be brewing that again” type of end cap.

Personally, I find it fun sometimes to try the black sheep. After all, my least favorite could be your favorite.

Feel free to downvote the post if you don’t think this would benefit the community. If we get to an overall point value in the negatives, I will unpin the post and we can move forward with it in the rearview.

    This might not be popular, but I don’t care for any Columbian blends. I’ve even tried local stuff, or different brands, nope. All terrible to me now.

    I can however drink mass produced like lavazza espresso and crema aroma.

      I wasn’t a fan of Columbian coffee, either, until I roasted it myself. As it turns out, I like medium-light Columbian coffee enough to not just roast-and-gift. I think the standard medium-dark to dark Columbian coffees, which seems to be the norm, are just too… boring (is that the right word?).

          I prefer the headache to Starbucks. I understand, and respect, that some people like it. I do not. It’s burnt and smokey. Two flavor notes I don’t look for in my coffee.

          Which American swill are you referring to? I have my list of coffees I won’t drink. I’m curious of yours haha
