GUEST BREW REVIEW
RATING (OUT OF 5): 3.25
NOTES:
I LOVED THE INITIAL IMPRESSION OF THIS COFEE. THE BEANS REALLY DO SMELL LIKE STRAWBERRIES. HOWEVER, THAT AROMA DID NOT COME THROUGH DURING/AFTER BREWING. INSTEAD OF A JUICY, SWEET END PRODUCT, WHAT I ENDED UP WITH WAS A BIT OF A WEAK CUP. THE AROMA AND MOUTHFEEL WERE JUST SOFT. EVERYTHING SEEMED MUTED. I TRIED A FEW DIFFERENT SETTINGS AFTER THE FIRST BREW, BUT NONE OF THE CUPS LIVED UP TO MY HOPES.
COMMENTS:
FOR THE PRICE, CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS COFFEE. I MADE 6 OR 7 DIFFERENT BATCHES BUT CAME AWAY DISAPPOINTED WITH ALL OF THEM. STILL HOLDING OUT SOME HOPE THAT IT WAS ALL USER ERROR, BUT IF SO, IT’S TOO DIFFICULT TO OPTIMIZE, AND I WOULD WASTE A FEW MORE OUNCES TRYING TO HIT THE SWEET SPOT.
