It’s my second week drinking that Four Sisters Donut Shop Blend from Grocery Outlet, and… It’s not good.
It’s not completely awful, and it’s definitely functionally caffeinated, but without a paper filter it’s bitter.
But it’s not like other dark roasts that I’ve tried, and lacks that sweetness or medium roast’s fruity acidity that makes other grounds pleasant to drink.
Speaking of paper filters, I started using a mesh filter in my aeropress, and… The result tastes very similar to my French press…
I got a pack of two mesh filters: One 250 microns, the other 200 microns, and the 200 micron filter doesn’t let any fines through at all.
I am alternating days between the two, and I have to say the paper filter in the Aeropress makes a huge improvement in smoothness and taste.
try lower water temp and/or a more coarse grind.
