I’d give this recipe a 4 /10. It has so much less character than I would like. The interesting parts are very subtle and difficult to find, especially if I hadn’t had this coffee before. Tasting this brew combination, it isn’t surprising that people put milk and sugar in their coffee: why not? The coffee isn’t doing anything interesting on its own. Also, anecdotally, I suspect these parameters are quite close to what my mother-in-law uses with her Keurig fill-your-own-cup K-Cup.Very little in the way of aroma in this cup. I’d give it a 6.5 with no intensity on the SCAA form. It smells like coffee, but not like much coffee and certainly not the bouquet from yesterday. It is fine but not good; thin but not terribly so, with no flavors up front. It slowly ramps into a soft chocolate, a little berry (which admittedly I’m looking for). The finish is a long dry rise, bergamot-y, and not in a great way. I’ll admit, I expected this to manifest in a much more negative way toward the end, but it doesn’t have that awful dry bitterness I would have expected from these parameters.
