The thing with the older timer Italian coffee is that it’s much like a McDonald’s/Tim Hortons in that the beans/grounds they generally using are just some factory processed shit so the batch you get today tastes exactly the same as a batch two years from now. While it may taste ok, and most of the time frothy/sweet for any coffee purist id say the general consensus is that it’s garbage.

It is garbage, but at the same time I won't criticize someone for liking it.
My wife hates my coffee, but I have introduced her to super fresh darker roasts that she loooooves. I buy
this for her from a local roaster. She also likes a Brazil Santos single origin from another place. She does her own pourover brew, using a Kalita 102 (Hario V60 requires a bit more effort).
I admit, I like to have it once in a while too. Sometimes instead of a light roast with various different flavour profiles, you just want to have a "cup of Joe". In that case, it's still important to get something fresh. I appreciate it when roasters offer a variety.
