    It’s definitely not expensive, and is very reasonable for decent to good roasts. I didn’t mean to sound as though I was implying it was excessively priced (I wasn’t implying that). Sorry about that. I only meant to ask if it was worth the price for the quality. For example, sbux, to me, isn’t worth the price tag (even though it’s not expensive), because I don’t like their coffee. That sort of thing. The vibe sounds amazing!

      Oh, I think it’s worth the price, as long as you manage expectations of what you’re buying. This is by no means a fancy/experimental light/medium roast (like deMello, another Toronto-area roaster) with lots of complex notes and flavours… the “42” is definitely a classic Italian base with a good aroma to it. It’s a post-roast blend, and it seems to me like at least 2, maybe 3 different roasts. 2/3 dark, with 1/3 medium/light beans, just based off casual observation.

        Ooh! I love those types of blends, they’re so interesting! I did multi-roast blends, and they were some of the most interesting roasts I’ve ever done. It just takes so much longer to roast, since I have to basically roast several singles to make the blend. When it gets warmer, I plan on making more of them. I started saving up for the 42, and I will add deMello Roasters to the list, too. They seem very good, too. Any specific roast that you would recommend?

          I haven’t tried many of their coffees yet. If you like fruity, acidic notes, De Mello Ethiopia Bensa may be for you.

            I like fruity notes, but not acidic notes. They usually come hand in hand, though, so I take what I can get haha I’ll add that to the list. I do tend to like Ethiopian coffees. Thanks!

            I tasted the Italian roast today, and it was amazing. It’s not 100% degassed, yet, which is to be expected for a darker roast 3 days out. I’ll wait a couple more days before I try again.
