Is the current popularity of darker roasts causing us to lose our appreciation for lighter-roasted coffees? Here's my answer: "I guess I'd liken my response to coffee to how I drink wine. Big, full-bodied, beat-you-over-the-head Cabernet Sauvignon isn't what I want to drink all the time; neither do I want a super-dark roast every time I have a cup of coffee. Different coffee roasts (light, medium, dark) exist for a reason, and I find a definite taste difference between a lighter-roasted coffee and one that is simply insipid and bland. Mind you, this is coming from a complete coffee neophyte and reflects my own personal preferences." What's your opinion? As a postscript, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog, particularly the reviews of local coffee shops. Keep on blogging!

Arieanna is really hitting her stride with Vancouver Coffee ! The coffee sounds good, a little bit on the right (in my opinion) side of over roasted Prado Cafe – Arieanna’s 1st Visit
