    To each their own, I suppose. It’s certainly possible I’ve never had good espresso, but I’ve had it at a bunch of different coffee shops that tout it as their specialty and it doesn’t seem to vary much in flavor. I don’t think it’s bad - I like it because it’s coffee - I just prefer a light roast pour-over and have gotten a nicer range of flavors out of pour-overs. I don’t have a fancy palate, though, when I want a caffeine fix any pre-ground canned grocery coffee or gas station drip does the trick. Or tea, even.

      It sounds like we could be friends. I agree with everything you said in both comments. Light roast pour over all the way.

        Hello new pal, what have you been sipping lately? I just polished off a bag of Kuva beans from Brazil.

          This looks like a very enjoyable bean! Thanks for introducing me to Kuva, seems like a good brand. Unfortunately they only ship within the US, but I this makes sense - don’t want to get stale beans delivered overseas.

          I’ve just moved to a new city and am trying out a local roaster’s bourbon and caturra from Guatemala .

              Der Kaffee ist ganz gut, aber leider sind die verschiedenen Sorten der Rösterei eher ähnlich vom Geschmack. Und dein Deutsch ist gut verständlich! Ein weiteres Jahr würde aber auch nicht schaden ;)
