Great cup. Cheap price.
This AeroPress recipe was made thinking on the readily available, sometimes almost stale, very dark and cheap roasts. This type of coffee is the one you find at Walmart’s, Mexican supermarkets, etc...
Also, this works with a blade grinder, if like me, you can’t really afford a great burr grinder.
Tasting notes, on the coffee I used, which was Gila Master Blend, are almost banana like, a bit chocolate as well. But a very clean cup and a not so intrusive after taste.
