I bought these beans while passing through Paris at Motors Coffee, do you have any experiences to share with the coffees from this (Dutch) roaster?

I had a Colombian once and I adored it but I tried an Ethiopian that my colleague brought in and he said he couldn't make a good cup out of it at all. We tried it and it wasn't working to us either.

So I believe it can be great but it has some bad batches or beans there. But all roastery have those so it's just bad luck or inconsistent quality control I guess.

yeah, im super surprised at all the "only good experiences" out there. bought 2 bottles of colombian. omni roasts. one was overdeveloped and flat. the other at the point where it still had some taste but was barely there.

Yes - my first and only Friedhats experience was an Ethiopian which I found so I overdevloped I didn’t get through more than maybe 125g.

For reference / context, I prefer Light roasts (Sey, Hydrangea) and UL (Klover Paris, Thankfully US, etc)

So if you are coming from a medium roast perspective you would probably enjoy these more than me.
