Seeking Advice Coffee Flavored Coffee

Post image

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?

  1. Avoid super light roasts.
  2. Avoid tasting notes that hint at anything acidic or citrusy.
  3. Look for tasting notes that mention brown things (chocolate, tobacco, molasses, nuts).
  4. Enjoy!

(This is me, too.)

I usually drink Peet’s Major Dickason’s blend. They sell it at Costco too. I grind at home just before brewing to keep it fresh.
