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

      It’s designed to be the base of a drink that’s 30% sugar. The bitterness helps offset the sweetness.

      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
