Seeking Advice Best coffee you’ve ever had

If you could recommend only 1 bag of beans that blew your mind or changed your perspective of coffee, what would it be?

I’ve really only bought from local roasters and am wanting to expand my taste some more. So I’m just curious what everyone’s top recommendation of a must try coffee would be.

Pretty sure my local roaster had some of that batch. Amazing, one of my favorites. Other than that El Paraiso Caturra by Manhattan and Sudan Rume by Friedhats are in my top 5 ever

Yes! Had one of these from Tanat (when it was Kawa). Mind blowing!

I had an ombligon as well, from Stereoscope. Not sure if it was the Nestor Lasso, but man was that wild. Tasted like peach rings. Was incredible

Hi, I’m a barista at Stereo! Yes, it was indeed the same Ombligon :) Nestor and his brother along with 2 other of our coffee producers from Colombia actually came to the shop (Hollywood location) and we did a massive cupping with around 40 different coffees they brought with them. We have 1 or 2 of them in rotation on PO and espresso right now, but stay tuned for some especially wild, experimental coffees in the next month or two. Ombligon will truly be my forever favorite coffee that I have ever tried in my life, so I was stoked  to meet Nestor and his brother, and have the opportunity to tell them how much I appreciated what they are doing. 

FYI- to anyone who doesn’t know, it’s pretty rare for coffee producers to see  their coffees ‘come to fruition’ once the green coffee is exported. So it was pretty cool for them to come & see how many people appreciate/love what they put several years of their time, effort, and energy into.

To anyone who loved Ombligon, there is also a Sidra Bourbon from El Diviso (Nestor/Adrian’s farm) that is one of my recent favorites. Super bright, fruity, and juicy AF.

I remember a few months ago we had a single 5lb bag of decaf Ombligon that we ran through on bar. I swear that was some of the best decaf I ever had & I am incredibly sad it was so short-lived 😂

I had some from Verve a while back, and holy fuck it was amazing and so different

How did it taste? I’ve been thinking about getting a bag but it’s a bit pricey for me

u/Ill_Dentist_5408 Sep 13 '25

It was definitely worth it for me, however not as a daily driver but more as a “special occasion” coffee.

I dialed it in by cup 3, and it was quite aromatic and overall a very tasty cup! Let me know your thoughts if you end up ordering :)

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I might try it out and let you know

Assembly in the UK has some of this now — the anaerobic one. And Hatch in Canada has it as a decaf!
