Some folks think it means Starbucks is good. NOPE.

Starbucks isn’t coffee. It’s actually trash:

Real coffee is this:

Also:

  • Tea is also great and healthy. Tea is not addictive.

  • If you drink coffee, avoid it after 11:AM. Seriously.

    Starbucks uses local imports. The biggest problem is that they burn the shit out of the beans to normalize it down to the same flavor. So, the big appeal of using locally-sourced beans is wiped away by the way the need for a consistent “flavor”.

    That’s why Starbucks coffee tastes like shit.

      The pike roast is the only one that is halfway decent in a pinch. It’s their “light” roast.

        Yeah, it’s not the worst, but it’s still shit compared to any other light roast. It’s good for Starbucks, but that’s a low bar. They often don’t even have it available (or at least they often didn’t, but I never went often, and I haven’t been to one in many years).

      They have blonde roasts.

      Wtf are you on about?

      I personally love a good French roast.

      You sound like my stupid cunt of a mom that does coffee enemas. Bitching about the flavor of coffee when her colon doesn’t even have taste buds. Wtf.
