This 230 West Breakfast line is pretty solid. The decaf Breakfast Blend matched the regular pretty well. I think the beans used here were ground fresh and sealed nicely as the flavor remains pretty bright. Now, there's nothing complex and fancy here, but you get a solid lighter roast with a honey-caramel sweetness, bright citrus acidity, and a very clean finish. There's perhaps a tinge of something resembling a lemongrass. While not highly complex, it's incredibly smooth and quite satisfying with a granola bar after a hike!
This is my second encounter with 230 West. In my first, I registered in my head as the very definition of hotel coffee. Safe, intermediate blended coffee that probably everyone this is OK. This Breakfast Blend I think is a little bit better. It's on the lighter side and has a honeyed/caramel sweetness, and a bright citrus acidity, and very clean finish. It's low on the complexity side, but very smooth. Satisfying on a nippy day here in Park City.
This hotel coffee was surprisingly decent. The flavor was pleasantly neutral and was just strong enough. There was a subtle old bean flavor, but the overall experience was pleasant.
