I decided to pull out my Aeropress for the first time in several years. I was out of my most recent single-origin, so I pulled this Starbucks Reserve out of the freezer and broke the seal. I received the coffee as a gift a couple months ago, so I knew there was a good chance it would be somewhat stale. It was frankly what I expected. Maybe a little bit tastier than average, but pretty “blah.” However, I forgot the unique flavor/body the Aeropress gives the coffee. I will definitely be putting it back in rotation.
