Euro Coffee Reviews: WWW Sampler
Warning!-Amateur Review. My own predispositions regarding coffee: I like a smooth, flavorful but balanced and somewhat acid coffee, one I can drink in volume without becoming either tired of or overwhelmed by the flavor. I usually find very exotic coffee fine by the single cup, but tedious or oppressive by the pot. I prefer freshly roasted whole bean coffee freshly French Pressed. And so…
1. Baritone Roast:
Appearance: Dark roast appearance- dark brown/black with surface oil
Aroma: Sharp aroma, like French Roasts
Beans: Flavorful with sharp finish
Brew: Deep brown with slightly sharp aroma finish. Smooth, with sharp aroma of dark roast but no bitterness. It’s as smooth as the roasters claim: unlike most French Roasts, I can drink a whole pot of this, non-stop, without ODing on the dark roast quality. It truly is, as the roasters state, a medium-dark roast. Nice sweet spot for my tastes.
2. Euro Roast House Blend
Appearance: Medium roasted with bright deep brown very lightly oided surface
Aroma: Sweet caramel
Beans: Sweet caramel flavor- no discernable bitterness
Brew: Medium-rich body, predominantly caramel flavor. Not unpleasant, but strong and unrelenting. Almost tastes as if it were “flavored.â€
