Good day Greg,I am sorry to read this review, as it does not reflect what HSL stands for. It is inexcusable that the MOD responded the way she did, and I have admonished her for it. In respect of the coffee, it does come down to subjective taste. We blend one of the most expensive and popular beans with an Italian bean from an established roastery. It goes down well with the majority of our guests. The water used at the time could have affected the taste.Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused.Kind regards,Jeff
