The medium or light beans at Freddie's are often oily, at least at the store near me. That usually means that they have sat around bleeding goodness out of their poors for a long time. It isn't bad when they look on the dry side.
The flavored robusta crap next to the arabica tends to be oil-slick shiny. I used to think this was a coating difference but it sounds like it means that even up here in Hicksville North Seattle the whole bean buyers have better sense than to buy robusta. I have yet to buy coffee up here as bad as the best stuff I could get in LA.
