I like washed because I find that’s where most of the real home runs are. I think it’s a little less forgiving though, and I end up with some mediocre cups to get those home runs.
Honey process I find a little more consistent but still can be finicky.
Nothing wrong with a good natural, but 9/10 times I’m picking a washed or honey process. Will toy with anaerobic every once in awhile but these often end up mushroomy.
EA for decaf is the only way I’ve found where theres still some sweetness and nuance left that makes doing a pour-over even worthwhile for decaf.
I don’t know why but my tongue simply gets confused with anything other than washed. I end up with plenty of nice, but bland, cups but i have to agree that when i nail a v60 with something bright and light it’s so good.

washed seems the most consistent for me, but i almost exclusively drink lighter roasts.
i like honey but i find it harder to ‘find the flavors’, it often tastes more generic/flatter to me.
