If anyone enjoys light, or “cinnamon”, roast coffee,
Pilot Coffee Roasters out of Toronto is the best I’ve found in Canada. I find it comparable to stuff I’ve had in Portland like Stumptown.
From what I understand a lot of people don’t like light roasts because of the higher caffeine content & the variability between bags/grinds.
My cousin owned a roastery for a while & he was the first one to explain to me that coffee is a crop like grapes. It varies based on year & location. The only way to achieve consistency in every bag/tin/pot/cup is by blending beans from certain locations and over roasting to achieve a consistent taste.
I like the variety and complexity of light roast flavours, but I assume I’m in the minority.
