I don’t think I’ve ever had coffee from Starbucks that didn’t taste cheaper than the grocery store coffee I buy for home. It has always tasted burned and too heavy for a light roast. Genuinely the shittiest coffee I could get outside of a 7-11 at a cafe that seems engineered to make me not treat it like a cafe.
Yeah this isn’t, $9 a cup for a rare single origin grown on some remote island and brewed using a fussy, labor intensive process. This is $9 for Dunkin Donuts with a bougie veneer.
These days Starbucks has a lot of different drinks and even regional variation, so it’s not that true anymore that they only sell this one kind of dark roast. But it’s still very overpriced
Got coffee at a random gas station a year ago for two or three dollars and I was shocked at how good it was. Pretty sure it was Rwandan. I only buy coffee bean(i)s, grind them, and use a bialetti at home. Fancy cafés rarely impress me but this random gas station blew every starbucks I’ve ever been to completely out of the water.
The second best coffee in a 10 minute walk from me is a gas station, they got a great setup installed like 10 years ago. Definitely the best banf for your buck cause its also cheap

yeah it tastes like fuckin charcoal, idk if they just roast it way darker than it says or if it’s actually burnt somehow
Yes they literally just burn the beans to absolute shit to “standardize the consistency” across all locations and over time.
Also, I presume, to aid in upselling people on syrup and heavy cream filled versions that hide the taste of their terrible, terrible coffee.
I believe they add more caffeine to their coffee so that their regulars don’t get the same “hit” at other coffee shops.
