I have noticed this I think. Even one of my standby favs (Cameron's Velvet Moon) seems a little in the insipid and uninspired side. It's good but, lately is not producing the same "wow that's great" wake up call. I'll have to play around just a bit. Could simply be me or a couple minor changes I made to the brew control on the Aiden. I'll report back
It’s not just at home so not the coffee maker. Even at coffee places it’s hit or miss.
Yes! I have a Phillips coffee machine. When we got it tried some regular beans from grocery store. Then tried Sprouts Hawaiian Gold Coast beans and was blown away by how good they were. Last year or so been buying beans bulk at HEB, usually Hawaiian. Three or four months ago had to buy another kind of beans, didn’t really notice any difference between them and the Hawaiian. Now after trying three different beans and going back to Sprouts Hawaiian beans I really cannot tell much difference between them all. I jokingly told my wife that I thought HEB started getting beans in big bags and dumped them all into whichever container needed to be refilled.
