coffee review: Starbucks Espresso Roast

Overall Comment: not great, a little tangy.

Specific review info:
  1. a little weak in the flavor department- I'll try 4 scoops tomorrow.
  2. after taste is tangy/acidic. Not unpleasent, but not what I'm looking for either.
  3. at least it doesn't taste burnt.

Specific brew info info:
  • Water temp was just below boiling- right after bubble stop.
  • ground with whack-a-bean for a 10 count.
  • 3.5 scoops for 14 oz filtered tap water.
  • paper cone filter.
  • additions: 2 t sugar, 2 oz 2% milk.
  • allowed to cool for approximately 1 hour in Starbucks thermal mug #2.
UPDATE: much better with four scoops. 20080422.
