balanced citrus notes can be amazing imo but it's easy for it to go overboard. i get this dark-roasted yemeni coffee sometimes that's very dark chocolate and spicy in a root beer kind of way.

I haven't bought artisanal coffee in like 2 years =(

more caramely or chocolately light roasts are good, though.
Hey, I agree with this!

Although I'm currently going through Fresh Direct's Breakfast Blend, whatever that is.

"this velvety brew balances dark-roasted Ethiopian beans (known for chocolatey, berry flavors) with a lighter roast of smooth Costa Rican beans" apparently.

generally speaking "velvety" is an adjective I look for when buying coffee, as opposed to "floral" or "citrus". I think darker roasts when done poorly can taste a bit ashen but when done well can be as smooth as a good light roast. worst coffee I've had in recent memory was the scalding hot piss they serve at a very popular place a couple blocks from me. Dark or light? Could not tell.

My friend had an espresso machine at her apt and used the Bustelo and it was SO GOOD (although also "so hot" and "so sweet" so maybe I should try those qualities too). Sadly does not work out the same w my french press.

The ridiculously cheap totally not fancy Mexican beans we have been using somehow taste pretty good with our espresso machine! I say "our," but it is totally the spouse's baby. I never touch it, I just drink the stuff. We also use milk and sugar so I dunno I'm sure that helps the el-cheapo beans.

I had friends living in Singapore the past few months, they made side trips to Hanoi and Bali and brought me these:

I feel like the Vietnamese one on the left is pretty much a scam as it was much cheaper and is very careful to use the word "weasel" a lot without every mentioning that it passed through a civet cat's digestive tract. The Indonesian one was much more expensive, specifically mentions having been shit out by an animal, and was purchased from a place with an actual civet cat on display so it's either a more elaborate scam or is actually real and therefore exploitative to animals.
Either way, I'm going to aeropress one or both of these tomorrow.

i think the cuisinart is dead. the thing that keeps coffee from dripping out while the pot is not in the machine is not staying pushed in enough, i think. so it keeps overflowing unless i am vigilant about pushing the pot back into place every 30 seconds. i would like some fancy contraption but i don't have time for that in the morning and don't want to clean it. time for another shitty coffee maker.
