  There was nothing remarkable about the flavor
question: How do you like the coffee?, context: This coffee smelled great, but the taste was less impressive.  It wasn't that the coffee was too bitter or strong, it was that the taste was sort of blah.  There was nothing remarkable about the flavor, it really was quite boring, if one can call a coffee boring.  This coffee would do the job in the morning if I didn't have any better stuff to drink, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.  It's just not very flavorful.  If it tasted like it smelled it would have been so much better.
