Does GMCR Censor Reviews of its Beans
Earlier in the week I posted a review of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Dark Magic Espresso Roast. If you read the review you'll find that I was less than impressed and did not recommend the beans. Essentially the beans do not produce much crema and the taste is unpleasantly bitter. Since the Dark Magic Espresso page at GMCR asks for reviews I posted one there too. Of course I didn't make mention of any competetors on this review, but simply stated my two reservations mentioned above. I said I wouldn't recommend it to friends and I ranked it 2 stars out of 5. I should really have only given it 1 star, but hey, I'm a nice guy after all! I then also submitted my name and email address as a "verified reviewer" and got the confirmation email from their site. However, 4 days later there is still no sign of my less-than-rosy review of the beans. There are still the same 3 glowing reviews there though. Could GMCR be censoring negative reviews of it's beans? Have you had a similar experience?
Update 3/31/2007 - Someone alerted me today to the fact that my review has been published at GMCR since I published this post. So if you post reviews there, it seems they take a while before they get published.
