What happened to the taste of Coffee?

What happened to the taste of coffee? My favorite coffee is Columbian but lately, no matter what brand I use and no matter how strong I make it, it has no taste or aroma. When I used to open a can of Columbian the scent would fill the room. Now -nothing! Not even an aroma when it's brewing. I understand that growers have developed new varieties of plants that are grown differently from how coffee has been grown in the past. I wonder if this is the reason for the change?
Anyone else see/taste the change too? Your thoughts on the subject would be interesting. |

| Much Colombian coffee is low-grade, mass-produced stuff these days. If you want a decent Colombian coffee, insist on the highest grade, Supremo, from the state of Narino. The "canned" Colombian coffee is invariably a lower grade product not grown at higher elevations. |

| I agree.It seems whatever brand and how much,I cant seem to get the flavor or scent back.I guess its time to upgrade. |

| I've noticed that I used to hear the vacuum leak/hiss and smell the wonderful aroma of the coffee grounds when I opened a metal can of coffee ... now with the plastic containers of Folger's there doesn't seem to be a vacuum any more when I peel off the aluminum 'foil' under the plastic outer cover and I don't smell the coffee aroma any more either. Why have they switched the packaging? I still like the Farmer's Brothers served in many restaurants; can it (the grounds) be bought in retail stores? This Swede misses the aroma of coffee too, 'lovetogarden'! - vieja |
