I'm not sure everyone likes it, but it seams to be a new trend... This new lightly roasted single origin flowery coffee crap, like Phil and Sebastian's or Stumptown. Ya, I know they are highly regarded, but I could barely finish my shot of espresso. So nasty. Give me a nice dark Italian stye espresso any day. There is a reason they blend their beans from different sources. It's called balance.
It's like North American roasters suddenly thought they figured out something that no one else knew, and barely warm their beans. News Flash. It's been roasted properly for hundreds of years because it tastes like crap if you don't. It's the whole over hopped IPA thing all over again, but now the coffee snobs are at it.
