#and some high-altitude ones still have muted acidity (that's why I like tanzanian coffee but not kenyan)

I started getting into coffee (you know, gotta try everything before the pollinating flies get extinct and we have no more coffee) and it's funny how some of my preferences carry across hobbies.

If you let me into a teaware store I always, unmistakably pick the cheapest and the most expensive teapots. Same with teas.

(it's the same with food, media, academic topics, pretty much anything I get into)

Basic things are perfectly functional and don't need anything else, state-of-the-art things are also perfectly functional, just on another level. Everything in-between adds unnecessary bling that ruins the experience.

So it's either basic Brazilian coffee (chocolate and toffee notes, low acidity, what else do I need), probably from a capsule of a budget Dutch brand, one of the cheapest things you can get here, or it's some obscure Tanzanian variety and I'm still figuring out how to brew it in a way to enhance the jasmine notes it has.
