I've
been
going
to
Michael
Thomas
for
a
number
of
years.
It
has
a
nice
vibe
and
the
staff
are
friendly.
I
typically
buy
their
whole
bean
coffee,
which
has
been
solid
in
the
past.
However,
the
bag
of
Burundi
beans
I
got
this
past
Saturday
was
bad.
Really
bad,
actually
-
like
worse
than
the
$8
bags
of
generic
stuff
you'd
find
at
the
grocery
store
(and
3x
the
price).
Their
storage
system
is
somewhat
unique
in
that
they
don't
prepackage
their
beans;
they're
all
in
clear
plastic
bins
along
the
wall.
I'd
never
thought
much
of
it
in
the
past,
but
that
constant
exposure
to
light
and
oxygen
may
be
the
reason
that
this
batch
was
extremely
oxidized
and
smelled
very
old
(and
the
taste
was
no
better).
I
reached
out
via
their
website
but
haven't
received
any
response
or
explanation,
so
I
don't
know
if
they
monitor
the
input
they
receive
there.
I
hope
that
my
experience
was
a
fluke
rather
than
the
beginning
of
an
unfortunate
new
trend.
I'm
not
sure
it's
worth
it
to
me
to
find
out
which
of
those
it
is,
as
there
are
plenty
of
other
good
roasters
in
town
who
have
yet
to
let
me
down.
