Quite possibly. I’d say it’s just how I like it 80% of the time, and amazing 10% and terrible 10% of the time.

My go to is Yirgachefe.

Every so often I buy beans to see what I’m missing and I’m usually very underwhelmed. It’s time I did this again.

New Zealand is lucky as the importers don’t bring in much crap coffee and so the average is good. A large bulk is brought in by just a couple of companies and all seem to have high standards.

The key to home roasting for me is freshness. I like coffee a couple of days after it’s roasted. I can control this and struggled when I was buying beans.
