Some Starbucks somebody gave me recently tasted rotten in comparison
Sbucks always tastes like dogshit because they burn the absolute shit out of their beans. No one goes there to taste coffee, they go because they want caffeinated vanilla pumpkin mace choco cinnamon. I can’t imagine they started that way when they were a little shop in seattle so I think when they exploded they needed a consistent flavor as the base, and the way they accomplished that was by over roasting all the variations out of the beans they got.
