Do you use the same beans? I find that many of the fancy coffee shops in San Francisco lately are doing the lightly-roasted, sour-tasting coffee thing, which I'm not really into.
- fuzzix 12y ago> lightly-roasted, sour-tasting coffee thing A well made espresso with light-medium roast bean should taste fruity and maybe a little tangy and sweet, though this depends on no end of factors. Coffee Angel around Dublin is a good one. Most of the beans I saw when visiting the US (even in the hipster artisan places) were roasted to the point of being indistinguishable from toner and made for bitter, unpleasant coffee. Still, I needed my hit.
