Spiralling down like the elevator in Alice Cooper's song Deeper :-) Not that I expected any higher levels of coffee when I picked something in the regular supermarket but Garant has with some other items been surprisingly good, looking at the price. I guess you could say the same about the coffee, surprisingly good looking at the price. It wasn't even close to the worst I've run into so, well, if you want some cheap coffee you could do worse.The coffee was substantially finer ground than I usually grind my beans when I use the french press which might be part of the sharp taste that I don't like with it. The sharper taste was obvious already when the package was opened and I smelled the coffee. As before I did two brewings with french press, two minutes and four minutes. I don't know how old or fresh the coffee was. Water 90 degrees Celsius.
2 minutes: Darker and sharper taste than I'm used to and like. It almost has a taste of tannic acid, but only almost. The acidious taste is lingering for a long time afterwards though.
4 minutes: More bitter and acidious than the two minutes brew and slightly more earth in the taste. The lingering afterwards taste is not as unpleasant when brewed longer but still not really nice.
When the coffee cooled down the unpleasant tastes of tannic acid and bitterness lingered more than the nice ones (which seems to be a tendency among more ordinary coofee varieties). Ofcourse with this kind of coffee there's no specifications on where the beans are from.
