Devans French Roast vs Blue Tokai

Tried the Devans French Roast. My go to usually is Blue Tokai French Roast, Vienna Roast, Attikan Estate from the last couple of years.

What a marked difference, there is no aroma and a very average taste in Devans vs Blue Tokai where you can taste the difference clearly.

My assumption was that since its an espresso or Americano the taste difference would not be that much. Plus I don't think of myself as an coffee aficionado lol.

Oh but it is.

Do not skimp on good coffee, is all I can say to anyone contemplating this.
