I served specialty coffee to my family this weekend…

I served my family a selection of an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and a Anaerobic processed Single Origin from Honduras. What a waste of great coffee and money. Nobody appreciated the flavors and they really disliked the funkiness of the anaerobic coffee.

I get that specialty coffee with higher acidities is an acquired taste. But next time I'll just have a bag of Lavazza coffee on hand for family. The week before that I had one of my friends taste regular dark roasted coffee next to a cup of the beforementioned Yirgacheffe and he did indeed spotted the difference immediately and told me the regular coffee tastes like ass. Maybe I should do that next time.
