I've ordered both of these blends at least a few times over the last year. This last time (September through October), both blends seem less flavorful--even blander with this most recent batch. Don't know if was just the last batch or me, but I may be crossing them off my "go-to" list for future.

Have you modified any of your settings, changed you prep or had Covid?

Nope, did not modify any of my settings nor prep. I did have Covid back in mid August. Did lose my sense of smell for about 3 days. It has been back 100% as far as I know. Had other blends of coffee before these & no issues. Sigh

I ordered Big Trouble in the end of September and also found it less pleasant than in the past. The taste seemed a bit harsher than I had remembered.

Yup, and blander (to me anyway).
