a bit more acidic and bitter than we expected, not as nutty as I had hoped, but not bad.
This is interesting although confusing, but there is a good lesson here. Using the terms 'acidic' and 'bitter' in the same sentence seems almost contradictory as characteristics of a coffee, yet in a more global perspective of the overall taste they make sense.
It leads me to believe the author may be having a problem with one of the other factors of getting a good cup of coffee, specifically the grind and / or the actual brewing process instead of the beans themselves. To whit, the acidity and bitterness is usually the result of either too fine a grind, or brewing with water that is not hot enough, or drinking from a pot that has been left sitting on a heating plate. Since I have no way of knowing the actual facts, let's use this review to learn some important factors about brewing coffee instead of bean selection. I would be interested in hearing back from the author to find out if he has similar experiences with other beans or ???
