Cothas or Bayar?, Filter coffee veterans, I need an intervention before I buy the wrong pack
Okay so I've been a Bayar loyalist for a while now, specifically the Brownie Special, and that thing genuinely ruined other coffees for me. Chocolaty, nutty,
Now I'm trying to branch out and Cothas keeps coming up everywhere, but the second I start looking into it I fall into a rabbit hole of blend ratios. Apparently anything above the standard 80:20 coffee to chicory split changes the whole game, and some of these blends go way past that into territory I don't fully understand yet.
So here's where I need the community's brain. If you've had both Cothas and Bayar, which one actually deserves the hype and which one is just good marketing. And inside each brand, which specific blend should I be hunting down and which one should I avoid completely so I don't waste a tin learning the hard way. please mention the exact blend you tried from both of these companies like hotel blend, or the one which i uploaded or etc...
Drop your honest takes.
