Flair Signature

“Everyone else has given great recommendations; please do not worry about running out of fruity coffee. Specialty coffee overwhelmingly tends to lean toward fruity flavours in my experience. People generally agree with you that it tastes really good! Anyway, I don't wanna give a recommendation, but rather assure you of something: >It doesn’t have that like signature “burnt” flavor coffee has. That flavour is, as you're discovering, absolutely not inherent to coffee. Harsh, ashy, burnt notes are associated with very darkly roasted coffee. Coffee roasted lightly is rarely if ever going to taste that way, because those flavours typically come from the roast rather than coming from the coffee itself. The only reason those flavours feel so omnipresent is because commercial coffee tends to be pretty darkly roasted (fairly medium roasts are often sold as "light", and the roast only gets darker from there). But coffee doesn't have to taste like that! And, in fact, most specialty coffee doesn't, because specialty coffee nerds tend to agree with you - fruity coffee tastes good, and ashy coffee tastes bad. Basically any good third wave roaster will have fruity-tasting coffee in stock. My point being: Please don't worry about running out of fruity coffee. You haven't stumbled onto a rare and unreplaceable exception. What you've found is what a lot of high-quality coffee tends to taste like. There's so much more out there just like that.”
