I agree with you...Thanks for your comment EnoVitis. I agree with you on trying different things, sometimes you will be greatly surprised and in others, you will learn what not to try again. <br /><br />What I meant with "the best coffee is the one you like" is that people shouldn't feel forced to pretend to drink one type of coffee if they don’t like it. If someone doesn’t enjoy black unsweetened coffee they shouldn’t drink it just because they “heard” somewhere that that’s how coffee should be drank. Drinking and appreciating coffee should be an enjoyable experience.<br />luisgtz2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01667368579237802698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377599426439812787.post-21163382381733680212013-12-15T06:43:54.945-08:002013-12-15T06:43:54.945-08:00somehow I do not agree with the last recommendatio...somehow I do not agree with the last recommendation. Actually I think it has to do more with your post on "The journey", where ignorance or lack of experience limits our appreciation. My recommendation would be try as much different things as you can, then try some more (being willing to pay sometimes). <br /><br />Regarding preferences on coffee, the basic stuff for me is fruity aroma (lets not forget the bean is the seed of a fruit), balanced with the roasted and caramel notes. Marked acidity. Long lasting. The kind of stuff you get when you ask for a caffè in Italy. <br /><br />Things I dont want in my coffe: carton, metallic, musty, artificial flavoring, lack of aroma, diluted taste, tar, and soap.
