Two live Reddit commenters are positive about Friedhats. One calls it a great-value roaster, and another says a Friedhats Ethiopian coffee was incredible.
...e imo super high quality greens price delta doesn’t consistently show up in my cup but I’m happy to pay to try from time to time. Conversely some roasters due to process or just strategy use lower cost greens (still great) and make tasty coffee. S&W and friedhats come to mind here. I consider these great value roast
That Ethiopia from from Friedhats is incredible
