Rwanda - Bugisu

I have had this coffee before and my opinion HAS changed - I am really unimpressed with this coffee.  I am a purist and I don't like coffee additives but this roast begs character - even character that comes from cream, sugar, and other flavorings.  I realize that coffee tasting is purely subjective so I will refrain from any further bashing of this bean, but for my tastes, I would prefer some Maxwell House.


ON ANOTHER NOTE:  If you have been to Anchor Bay Roasts and have not been able to find the easter-egg, I will give you a hint - it's on the landing page somewhere in the image.

I have drank this City Roasted brew now for the second and third pots. Again it was dominated by a woody unsophisticated flavor. After a few cups I found that I looked forward to the next cup but that is (I suspect) due to the fact that I love coffee and not because this coffee is all that special.

In fact, the Bugisu is quite boring in that it does not have any attributes that are worth exploring. The experience of this cup is only a bit slightly better than McDonalds coffee.

I roasted this bean somewhere between city & full-city. The aroma was natural and the flavor was earthy and nutty. I liked this coffee, for the flavor was good and the balance was quite focused. However, there was nothing that screamed "drink me" as with say the Paupa New Guinea Peaberry. If you want a cup of regular Joe then this is the bean for you, however if it is uniqueness that you seek then you need not look here.

From 1 to 10 I rate this coffee a 2.
