What we like
- Consistent, recognizable flavor bag after bag, year after year
- Widely available in grocery stores — no shipping wait or minimum order
- Heavy body and low acidity make it forgiving for drip, French press, and cold brew alike
What we don't
- Dark roast character dominates the origin beans — you're tasting roast, not terroir
- Grocery-store supply chain means you can't verify how long a bag sat before you bought it
- Can taste flat or slightly burnt if brewed hot and strong without dilution
