I'm not surprised. "Laundry detergent" isn't a tasting note I look for in my coffee.

We are just finishing up our last box of SB Italian Roast.
Another equal has made it a little better. You know the old sayings "Beggars can't be choosers" and "If it's free; it's for me!" ;-) I'll drink it cause it isn't offensive but if it weren't free, I wouldn't buy any more. Have one more container after this one.
Insipid and uninspired
The Donut Shop FF coffee was like dishwasher effluent on final rinse so I had a cup of Starbucks Italian roast. All is good now.
Have never had a coffee labeled "Donut Shop" that has been Good. They just have no body. Weak "Breakfast Blend" would be a good description.
So, I'm going to take heat for this, but my wife bought a couple of boxes of K-Cups (Columbian) at.........Aldi. Like $3.50 a box. Honestly, not too bad.

Starting the day with a fresh brew of the Peet's Big Bang. Same opinion, relatively smooth with a pleasant finish on the tongue that lingers well. For a pre-ground, it's very fresh tasting. Best at about 145° IMO
Before this I tried a bag of Peet's Light Roast. Good but very pricey The Moccamaster brewer has the water temperature to bring out the brightness of Light Roast. I want to get some Peaberries for the Moccamaster and see if it brings out the spicy notes, which is their claim to fame.

And they put 12 pods in. Most are just 10 in a box that will hold 12!
Yes, that drives me crazy..........
I would be Leary of that. The coffee k cups you sent me were excellent. I usually use heavy cream(; with those I drank them blck. Awesome flavor and bold. Thank You Pablo.
Very smooth and good flavor
Happy Saturday
Brewed up a French Press of Kenya AA from Old Bisbee Roasters, which I have had for a while. It is stored in Airspaces largest vacuum storage device. It was still fresh this morning after several months of its arrival. No stale stink. The French Press is quite tasty and smooth.
On another subject, does anyone else here Age their beans in a airtight device. The jumbo Airscapes can hold 2 lbs of beans and only fill up half or so of the container. The top lid also has a pretty decent seal. I keep my ground coffee under this lid and above the the Airscapes one-way valve plunger device, seems to keep pre-ground fresher for the 8 to 10 days it will be in there.
I tested the one way device of the air plunger with dried herbs in dead air space. None of the scent of the herbs was in the coffee below after the herbs were in there for several days. Tends to make me believe their device works well. Also keeps brown sugar ect fresh in the area above the plunger. Overall I feel I got a good product at a fair but not cheap price. Don't mind paying for results.

My latest purchase. I ordered Friday night on 9/13 and all 3 were roasted and shipped on Saturday 9/14. That's what l call fresh.
I can drink coffee from this roaster black as it is high quality without the bitterness of the cheap beans l am used to.
My wife likes this coffee so much that she says she will not drink the grocery store coffee beans anymore. It costs a bit more, but is a case of getting what you pay for, or maybe more than you pay for.

I have the 2 lb airscape. I really don't know if it keeps beans fresher than clipping the bag shut, but the tests l saw online seems to indicate an improvement in freshness.
The wooooooosh sound when raising or lowering the lid is so satisfying to hear. It reminds me of the sound l would hear when opening a metal oil can with the metal spout for those who are old enough to remember.
Wife finally had a chance to grind the bag of Peet's Organic Alameda Morning Blend, so we had it today and will continue during the week till it's gone. It's a big bag. 32 ounces, so it will take some time to get through. We rarely brew on the weekends.

Does anyone here roast their own coffee? I’ve been doing it for at least twelve years. I buy all of my green coffee beans from www.sweetmarias.com and roast in a stove top stainless steel corn popper. You need a strong exhaust fan, which I have, otherwise you need to do it outdoors or in a garage using a powerful hot plate. I employ many brewing methods depending on my mood. Roasting is easy and you have complete control over the process. Fresh roasted coffee typically begins to stale after a week, so I only roast enough for a week and use a hand grinder for each cup I brew.

I’m enjoying the Ethiopian and Kenyan offerings I bought from them.
I’ll probably try more of their beans.
That's a Whirley Pop. Likely the 8th wonder of the world.
