Caribou’s “Medium Roast” is really a dark roast, with shiny beans and bitterness. Aeropress, V60, and espresso couldn’t bring out notable flavor. At $9.99, it feels overpriced and is best served as a latte. Availability is also limited to the Midwest.
Dunkin' Original Blend offers solid consistency at a budget-friendly $8.46. While it lacks standout flavors, it shines in smoothness, especially with Aeropress. Widely available and versatile, it's a great pick for milk-based espresso drinks or drip coffee
