That used to be the case. But now those coffee shops are just chasing trends. So they will make me an expensive pour-over but it will be watery and weak. I guess because many will add cream or sweetener to it anyway? 10 entirely separate single-origins and blends, but not a single dark roast. And they’ll sneer at me for asking if they have beans that are bolder and recommend their single medium-light option.
That’s been my experience at many chain and independent coffee roasters. So now I make coffee almost exclusively at home. There’s nothing wrong with preferring light roasts, but there is with letting the snobs limit your choices. And if you tried the amazing coffee I brew you’d agree that there is not just 1 way to enjoy coffee! Thank you for coming to my TEDx rant…
