Hi, coffee lovers!
I hope you've started your weekend with a cup of your favorite coffee.
For me, light roasted. But of course I can't always afford it. In fact now I only have medium to dark roasted beans.
I've started my weekend with a cup of decent cup of Anzoategui coffee 🙃 It's a local brand and doesn't specify the kind of roast; it just puts "espresso,"--and I've seen light roast and dark roast espresso, so...--but judging by the appearance of the beans, I can see that it's a medium roast, as they're a little heavy and don't look shiny (oily). Next to my bag of Anzoátegui coffee beans, you can see the bag of Amanecer; the latter has a medium roast and I like it better than Anzoátegui and San Salvador, which has an dark roast.
I wouldn't have noticed the difference between the coffees that I drank ten years ago, not beyond the obvious conclusions that one can draw when sipping the first sip of coffee: it's too strong, too bitter, too mild, etc... All complaints, haha. Now I can appreciate the multilayered complexity of light roast coffee, but I seldom have it because it's not popular around here and that means expensive. I'd have to buy specialty coffee with a light roast, and I can only afford it once in a while.
