We all like and praise specialty roasters. We recommend them online, we tell our friends about. The coffee is great.

... Except when it's isn't. And you still paid specialty price for it.

Do you have any bad experience with specialty roasters, places you won't go back to? Have you ever encountered roasters claiming to sell specialty coffee, but when you open the bag it's worse than supermarket coffee?

Amen to this. Many roasters don't even put what process was used on the bag!

I'm not a decaf drinker but I've wanted to get into evening brewing and so I've tried some decafs but the selection is indeed very disappointing. Would love to see more work with selective breeding and gmo species that taste good, could be planted in different regions and altitudes to develop different flavors and don't require any processing.
