Coffee in Europe is still a majority of cheap, overoasted blends.
Nespresso is barely any better.
Same for a majority of local roasters.
And people expect this type of taste:(
- OJFord 1y agoThere's an enormous difference between supermarket crap (or whatever it is that you think Nespresso is barely better than, because that would be the first thing I think of for crap coffee) and 'local roasters', however overly you think they're roasting. I get all mine from Pact, by no means particularly artisan or expensive, and yeah a light roast is not my favourite. But whole beans freshly roasted and ground makes an entirely different drink to freeze-dried instant Nescafe or whatever, or supermarket beans ok the shelf for months, flavoured with cinnamon or vanilla or something to hide the stale.
- Foobar8568 1y agoThese will give you an idea of beans we find in supermarket, several of these brands are considered as local roasters, I can even find Boreal in supermarket, which would be your typical "new wave coffee bar/beans" https://www.galaxus.ch/en/s7/producttype/coffee-beans-183 https://www.galaxus.ch/en/s7/producttype/coffee-beans-183 Given that, Switzerland is a bit special for this matter I believe, but I know that most people will be happy with Nespresso. I rarely see anyone drinking instant coffee. On that subject, I rather drink some "expensive" instant coffee (yes I have seen single origin instant coffee) than Nespresso or Nescafé. My point is drinking good coffee is a luxe.
