It all (mostly) tastes the same! I’ve been drinking coffee forever. I love coffee. I’m addicted to the stuff and I mostly drink it black to get the full flavor. That being said, I’m frustrated with my lack of ability to find nuances in different cups. 

I currently roast my own beans and I’ve tried many types, Uganda. Sumatra, Ethiopia, South America, etc... Medium roast, dark roast, French press, Moka pot, drip. Except for one natural processed Ethiopian, which I found terrible, the rest are too similar to make any distinctions. Sure a Moka pot is more flavorful than drip, but I never pick up the “notes” and flavors. It’s all about the same. Hell, Starbucks whole bean French roast from Costco is just as good as most locally roasted coffee I’ve had. 

Is it my tastebuds? Am I doing something wrong? I really would love to be able explore coffee but I found it useless to do anything but brew up some mid grade cup.
