Also, beer, olive oil, and cigars, and every other food people argue over and say “No, just try it, you’ll see I’m right, and you’re wrong.”
I mean flavor, not nutritional quality, so yeah, some “cheese” is not actually cheese, but flavor-wise, it’s all fine. It’s designed to taste good, and people buy it by the truckload.
“Oh, you just haven’t had really good coffee.” No, I have had coffee people claim is “really good”, expensive coffee, brewed “just right”, but again, it’s just different to me, not better. And, no again, I don’t put sugar or anything in it.
“You just don’t have a ‘refined pallet’.” Bullshit elitism. Proven when it comes to wine, at least. People can’t tell the difference between expensive wine and box wine.
Different, not better. Yes, of course, it’s subjective, but the way people argue shows that many don’t actually believe that. And, you’ll be dismissed for not agreeing.
Robusto coffee is sour and tastes terrible. I’d rather not drink coffee. If you can’t taste the difference blind, you have no taste.
So is light roast Arabica, sour bitter. But roasting Robusto dark and mixing it with dark roasted Arabica, removes all the sour. In a blind taste test you would not be able to tell.
Just like taking Pinot Grigio and mixing it with Columbard, softens the bite that white wine has.
Price means nothing if the product was not thought out.
