Ok I went somewhere today which roasted on site and the coffee was ok
But overwhelmingly I could detect vanilla essence flavours in the coffee - and I mean vanilla essence as in vanilla syrup or something similar - definitely not vanilla bean pod flavour, which would probably be quite acceptable, if they were balanced with other flavours
I'm a bit of a sugar nazi, and I may be way outta line here - but I really felt that something unpleasant had been added to the mix - for reasons that escape me
am I out on a limb here?
has anyone else had a similar experience?
I thought it might be something to do with the milk, but unless the milk had been mixed with some cheap soy product, I dont see how it could happen?
besides, I ordered a second coffee to test my theory, and the results were the same - so I guess that most likely rules out the cross contamination of the milk theory - and is a plus in terms of constancy of product
I finished both coffees (3/4 lattes) so they couldn't have been that bad
bad nor is it an experience that I am clambering for
ideas anybody?
