Rant: I think the whole 'single origin' thing is overrated
I was at a cafe in Austin last weekend and ordered their fancy $9 Ethiopian pour-over. It tasted like straight-up lemon juice, super sour and thin. The barista said that's the 'bright acidity' people love, but I just didn't enjoy it. I ended up mixing in a shot of espresso from their house blend to give it some body, which helped a lot. Has anyone else had a pricey single origin that just didn't work for them?

Yeah, it's like that with a lot of fancy stuff now. You pay extra for the 'pure' version, but sometimes the mix is just better (and cheaper). Happens with chocolate and craft beer too, honestly.
