Scott, I promise you, it was NOT personal at all buddy! You're going to think this is ridiculous, but... When I found out about the MVP blend, I had just got the Anita/Major combo, ie:my first real setup. So, when I heard about Paradise and found your blend, I was intimidated to buy it! I can remember going to read about the coffee, and thinking, "WOW! The MVP of HomeBarista developed a blend with a top tier roaster? Sheesh, I hope I can someday have the skill to work with coffees as high end as this!"
As silly as it may sound, thats the ONLY reason I didnt try it. I didnt feel worthy.
