"I buy specialty coffee seriously. And every new bag I open, I'm back to square one — guessing grind, guessing temp, wasting the first few brews just to dial in."
"I’ve found that the consistency of roasted coffee from specialty roasters is something that is missing the mark more often than not. Instead of finding some familiar and desirable coffee flavours (chocolate, caramel, nuts, soft fruits, berries, vanilla, spices, etc.), I’m finding more savoury flavours and brothiness that seems to have become more and more prevalent in ‘specialty’ coffee as of late."
