Or just at least mid coffee. I live in a coffee producing country, and I've tried everything from really expensive coffee to bottom of the barrel, both local and from abroad. The only cup of coffee I sipped and spat out was a Starbucks in Houston.

    Starbucks burns the shit out of their beans for consistency ... it's all consistently burnt with no unique flavor

    It's also done to increase the shelf life of the beans. So if you get Starbucks coffee, there's a good chance you're drinking coffee from beans roasted years ago. As someone who exclusively drinks specially coffee, the thought of drinking coffee from beans that were roasted even 3 months ago grosses me out
