I though it could be fun to list our least favorite roasts from the past week, maybe with a description on why you disliked it. This way we could round out the “what are you brewing” posts with a sort of “I won’t be brewing that again” type of end cap.

Personally, I find it fun sometimes to try the black sheep. After all, my least favorite could be your favorite.

Feel free to downvote the post if you don’t think this would benefit the community. If we get to an overall point value in the negatives, I will unpin the post and we can move forward with it in the rearview.

      I prefer the headache to Starbucks. I understand, and respect, that some people like it. I do not. It’s burnt and smokey. Two flavor notes I don’t look for in my coffee.

      Which American swill are you referring to? I have my list of coffees I won’t drink. I’m curious of yours haha

        Im thinking of the usual suspects like Folgers, Maxwell, etc that every cheap dinner and gas station serve.

          While diner coffee tastes horrible, it’s somehow comforting. It’s the only crap coffee I can actually enjoy. Maybe ‘enjoy’ isn’t the right word for it. I’m also not really considering the cheap diners that use Maxwell or Folgers. I visited the US South, and there was some diner (can’t remember the name), and they served their brand diner coffee. It wasn’t great, but it was the diner coffee I remembered as a kid, so it was comforting. But, the others on your list are on the top of mine, too haha

          Edit: cracker’s barrel? Something like that.

          Edit: hahahahaha Cracker Barrel. That makes a lot more sense than cracker’s barrel. I was close, though.

            This I completely understand. Relatable human experience.

            I love cracker barrel, even though it’s a chain. It makes me want to do the amount of manual farm labor that would warrant that many calories. And I can’t help wanting to eat all the food. I mean all the food they have in the store. https://youtu.be/HrIeP798hiQ?si=OjYmUmoaNg0fPnhs
