    Citavo Coffee's House Blend offers a passable coffee experience with a notable smoothness and nuttiness. This flavor profile appeals to those who enjoy a milder, approachable coffee. The smoothness likely comes from the Arabica beans present in the blend, known for their less bitter taste than Robusta beans.

    However, there is a downside to this blend. It carries a hint of Robusta bitterness and a subtle touch of what you describe as a "rubber flavor." Robusta beans are known for their higher caffeine content and characteristic bitterness, which can sometimes be less desirable in certain coffee blends.

    In terms of strength, Citavo Coffee's House Blend seems to fall more in line with a medium breakfast blend rather than the listed light roast. Citavo Coffee is a house brand of Sysco Foods, a well-known food distributor conglomerate. As such, Citavo Coffee may primarily cater to commercial or food service establishments, making it readily available for businesses that serve coffee to their customers. I found this coffee in a big old soccer arena where kids play multiple games every Saturday morning. Soccer Moms and Dads will know what I'm talk about.

    Citavo Coffee's House Blend has its merits with its smooth and nutty qualities, clearing the "good enough" bar for convenience. However, the presence of Robusta bitterness and the hint of a "rubber flavor" could be a drawback for some discerning coffee enthusiasts. Its medium strength and commercial association with Sysco Foods suggest it might be a good fit for those looking for a reliable and approachable coffee option, especially in food service settings.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
