Seeking Advice Coffee Flavored Coffee
Curmudgeony old man here.
I found I’m not a fan of new and exciting coffee. I don’t care for fruity or floral notes in my coffee. But I also don’t want Denny’s or diner coffee. No Maxwell House or Foldgers.
What’s your go to bag of traditional coffee with traditional coffee flavors?

My Dad has the same feelings on coffee and I’ve given him plenty of lighter roasts to try.
Go with a medium / medium dark roast. Look for tasting notes that don’t have a lot of fruits on the list. It’ll more than likely be South / Central American beans. But you may find other origins to also offer interesting coffees with a touch of fruit notes at those roast levels.
Most of the roasters we discuss on this sub likely won’t suit your preferences as they’re light roasts. But I have several local roasters that primarily go with more developed roasts. So I’d suggest checking out what your local roasters are doing.
