>>1636153That probably puts you somewhere near the brazillian / costa rica / el salvador region. I'd recommend trying
https://www.mayorgaorganics.com/collections/all-coffee/products/elsalvador if you want to try something new. Mayorga is a cuban style roaster though, so they're super heavy on the actual roasty flavor. If you have the cash to spare I'd recommend trying a sampler box from Blue Bottle or Verve or Bluebeard. The Blue Bottle sets lean a little too acidic for my tastes but their pricetag backs up the quality, it's expensive but so is a wine tasting event so eeehhh. The Bluebeard El Capitan blend is also quite good although it's very basic, it's a great blend to test in different brewing methods and styles.
>>1636177Actually a fairly common flavor to find in stuff like natural process african beans, I personally hate it but it's definitely real.
>>1636221Blade grinders are a sin, you need a burr grinder for coffee. This is not hyperbole, you NEED a burr grinder. The standard for "good enough" is the Baratza Encore, which is a perfectly fine grinder for coffee at under $150. If you have the cash to spare though I'd recommend looking at the Vario-W or Virtuoso+. The Rancilio Rocky is also a pretty great grinder at about $400 but it doesn't really excel in grind consistency, it's got great range though. It'll still be 100X better than a blade grinder though so anything is an upgrade.
