Coffee Appreciation

Returning to The Baron this morning was a bit of a shock. Not sure how much I like it anymore - too much oil/ bitterness, too robust and too dark a roast, sort of disagrees with me.
At the moment I prefer something lighter with more acidity and natural sweetness.

I'm the same with The Baron just now; it's just a bit too dark for me, and it's lacking in subtlety. That said, Italian espresso lovers will probably live it.

I found the Winter Blend to be really well balanced and also naturally sweet. You can taste the Rwandan coming through which adds a good amount of nice acidity. Maybe I've just been lucky.

Incidentally, the Rwandan that they sell on its own is also great for espresso.

I was slightly disappointed with the Climpson Estate at home recently as when they poured me one in the shop it blew me away; serious licorice and toffee flavours. I'm brewing with an Expobar HX machine. Maybe I need to adjust the temperature some time.
