Sorry for the slow response. I’ve seen the conversation has continued so this matters less now… But. Our guy that used them retired a few months back. And to your point, he was a misanthrope

Working at an OEM that designs their own boards I’ve often wondered the same thing. We only have one designer that used them but they were such a pain in the ass on the pick and place machines. Lots of drops

I know you’ve already gotten a bunch of answers including the going black option that I’m chiming in with… But I went through a similar process a few years back now. It took experimenting with lots of different brands until I found one that I could happily drink black. Not sure where you’re located, but I found a local roaster that I’ve been super pleased with. It’s called Goshen. It’s more expensive coffee but it’s also ruined a lot of other coffee for me now

Hoooraaaaay! Question mark

TIL I’m above average.
