    High grade supermarket coffee (Lavazza, Segafredo, Illy etc.) = 160 DKK (22 USD) per kilo.

    Verdict: Tasty!

    Local roasters' nerd grade coffee sold by guy with waxed mustache and 1800's style blacksmith leather apron = 680 DKK (96 USD) per kilo.

    Verdict: 30% more tasty. The biggest pleasure is the smell from grinding it.

    Do you happily pay the 325% increase?

    • the 1kg Tesco 'italian inspired' espresso beans (half the price of Lavazza) I prefer to most of the artisan stuff we buy and Lavazza. the Tesco beans are vkingsteven
    • similar (suspiciously so) to the Matthew Algie beans (big commercial roasters a lot of cafes use in the UK and Ireland)kingsteven
    • NoOBBTKN
    • I roast my own, ~16/kg USD.

      It's 20% more tasty. You could say i have an unwaxed mustache and a cloth apron
