Yes. I noticed a decently reputable (but mega corp) bag of whole espresso beans... 50% robusta. I was surprised.
Everyone is right into burnt coffee for some reason too. I hear a lot of people talking about dark roasts and how they like "strong coffee".
I was recently one of those people. 🤦
Made the mistake of thinking French roast would be a nice and bold cuppa, so I bought a couple bags of beans at Costco... absolutely terrible coffee.
I have discovered cold infusion coffee just last week. It's a surprising way to salvage ruined coffee roast. Cool water until there's some ice in it, or just dump ice in water, then dump your badly roasted coffee powder, shake, and leave in the fridge overnight (not the freezer). Strain the grounds, reheat in the microwave and drink (or just drink it cold and with grounds, whatever works for you). Ideally you should use coarse grind size, but it's mainly because it's easier to filter it.
I'd love to do this properly. I tried it a while ago and it tasted like dirt. What is the best ratio of water to grounds?
