Bean notes:

IS this coffee actually fresh?

Notes:

A bit more intensity so used a 300ml cup. However, it turned a bit bitter and that carboard taste wan’t gone. Also an unpleasant bitter after taste.I did a video and it seems to go very blonde at around 30s / 27.8g, so for the next lets grind slightly coarser again and try it as a ristretto,

Coffee bag notes:

Slightly darker than the Brazil Toucan. Crushes easily under the thumb, but not too many fines produced. Slight hints of surface oil on a few beans.

After trying to brew this for 4-5 shots now I strongly suspect this coffee is not fresh and that tghe roast date is not honest. It gives a weak watery coffee with poor mouth feel. It also blonds very early.

I like CherryDog coffees , bt they don’t put the roast dates on the bag and twice now I have bought 3 bags of coffee only to be told they were all roasted on the same day and exactly a week ago.
