I finally finished the Peats coffee. Threw the rest of the grounds in a phin and made ca phe sua da.
Also found some pure robusta coffee at price smart foods in Richmond. I didn't buy it cus I have way too much coffee at home!

One can never had too much coffee!
Curious which brand of robusta beans you found. I still have a bag of the Saigon robusta beans. I am not enjoying it, but you might.

Yesterday had to get a quick coffee in the afternoon and got drive through McDonald's. Did they change their beans? Tasted more acidic Quote:

I've also noticed McDonalds coffee is now sour, after years of not having it.
Wasn't sure if I've just become more of a coffee snob or they've changed something.

Acidic should not mean sour - it is a tasting note generally associated with citrusy/fruity/bright coffees.
If it is sour, that usually means it is under-extracted (water not hot enough, not enough steep time, etc).
The acidic McCafe coffee probably means their coffee maker isn't hot enough, or they rushed the brew, or it needs cleaning etc.

I've seen it at my local T&T here in the GTA and have been curious, but it's an item that's not always in stock. I've always been curious. Let me know how you like it.

And it seems the store you'd previously recommended, closed down before I got to check it out ><.

I still have half a bag of the robusta beans if you would like to try them. I decided they simply weren't for me. I offered it to Klondike by scamming him into making a donation for a half-opened bag of coffee but he was smart enough to not fall for the trap.

I've also tried pre-ground espresso and it works but you gotta be careful not to tamp it too hard or the water won't pass through the grounds. Quote:
