ST30B Thanks for the update. I will give them a pass then
Presumably this is related to Wogan Coffee. That’s what I am drinking at the moment. They used to be one of my go-to roasters back in the day, but as I deepen into the hobby and my taste buds improve, I find their offer a little bit “box standard”. Saying all of that, their prices are very competitive and, if you just want something standard, they do offer a great variety at very good prices. Contrary to ElCarajillo, I found the Brazil 26 good with milk - and so did my auntie and uncle who were around - but to my taste - not for me. I found that that coffee was better at longer pulls - I was doing 18g in, 45g out. I’m now drinking a Kenyan, roasted lighter than the Brazilian, but I wouldn’t say that’s a light roasted coffee compared to other roasts which would charge 1.5x or 2x as much. The SCA score of this coffee is 87, but I know that doesn’t mean much either.
Taste is subjective. I wouldn’t just dismiss them outright. You never know. Just because someone doesn’t like it, doesn’t mean your opinion will be the same. I had plenty of good suggestions given to me before, and, after trying them out, I found that they were not for me. Equally, I have beans I really enjoy, and once brought some over to Dave. His feedback: “I think these are a roast defect…” ;-)
So yeah, give it a go and then make up your own mind. You never know.
