Today's Cup: El Salvador Finca El Carmen

Today I drank the El Salvador that I roasted on Saturday. The cup was clean and well-balanced, but didn't seem to have much character. Or maybe the problem was that, next to Mike's cup which was his own "left over blend" of Colombian and Kenyan Gethumbwini Peaberry, the El Salvador just didn't have a lot of character. This is terrible news, actually, since the whole point is that I want to brew the best coffee! And if I can't brew coffee better than Mike's, how will I ever brew coffee better than Rich's?
