Was it outta stock or straight-up discontinued?I bought some medium roast beans from a nearby roaster this week and while the coffee is good I miss their smoky dark roast
just trying something new! next week I'll be backWas it outta stock or straight-up discontinued?
Good on you for trying something new, even if it didn't work out 100%! I tried a smoky RFA bean from Honduras last week and it was soooo good.just trying something new! next week I'll be back
in short, light roasts will trend more floral (think tea) and acidic (low bitterness) while dark roasts trend smoky (think roasted spices) and bitter (low acid)I need to find a good resource on how the roast (light to dark) affects the coffee body and flavor. Maybe I should order the same beans with different roasts and try myself?
Thank you.in short, light roasts will trend more floral (think tea) and acidic (low bitterness) while dark roasts trend smoky (think roasted spices) and bitter (low acid)
Coffee: It's Supposed to Be Hot
(not that hot)
Going to get a Hario grinder?Somehow I've never considered the YouTube coffee scene. That seems poised to change now!
My coffee grinder broke this week and like a jackass I ordered a new one online instead of just going to a store 5 minutes away. That meant two days of going to Tim Horton's and...dang. Obviously things vary by location somewhat but it was fuckin' dire. It had no discernible coffee taste lmao. Suffice it to say that Mocha Joe would not have approved of their beans.
I should really give my french press another try.
That's really clever but I can't help but think of the sound it makes when that pitcher beans someoneBaseball starts today, which means The Mug is back for another season!
Iโm glad you posted this, because itโs among the many things I love about this mug. I love coffee but not when itโs hurtling toward me at 95mphThat's really clever but I can't help but think of the sound it makes when that pitcher beans someone
No need to flex on @Metroid like thatIโm drinking coffee right now
Was this an intentional coffee cutback or some sort of horrible mistake?โSkipped my morning coffee
A little bit of both, sadlyWas this an intentional coffee cutback or some sort of horrible mistake?โ
I feel you if it's time to cut back a bit. When I was 24 I would drink black coffee literally all day with no ill effects. Now I'm 34 and three reasonably sized cups is my absolute limit! Any more wreaks absolute havoc on my anxiety. Gotta respect the beanA little bit of both, sadly
this post is beautiful prose but reading it again I feel compelled to point out that generally dark roasts are more bitter while light roasts are more acidic. for this reason I believe you'd be an alkaline battery freakIโm a dark roast cat. a real battery-acid freak.
damn, this is true. I went high colloquial on this one.this post is beautiful prose but reading it again I feel compelled to point out that generally dark roasts are more bitter while light roasts are more acidic. for this reason I believe you'd be an alkaline battery freak
in your defense I think really bitter dark roasts are more likely to get a gulp-and-grimace than a nice bright light roast.damn, this is true. I went high colloquial on this one.

I hate-bought a bag of ground 'Vietnamese Churro Coffee' from Costco that was a blend of arabica and robusta beans + cinnamon ground directly into the mix and, uh, it was delicious. Would buy again. (I realize Vietnam largely uses robusta coffee, but I'm accustomed to Vietnamese-American arabica + chicory.)I drank through a bag of robusta beans, and being back on arabica feels so mellow.
