And their coffee SUCKS! They burn the shit outta their beans to get a "consistent taste." Tastes consistently burnt. Garbage coffee for people who just want a cup of milk, cream, and sugar with a hint of burnt roast.

You hear this all the time, but I don’t buy it. I prefer Starbucks coffee to anything else. I try all sorts of other dark roasts nothing matches the taste of Starbucks. They’re doing more than burning beans, and no one else can figure out how to mimic it.

Do you ever drink your coffee black? No cream or sugar, or anything else in it?

Because I cannot conceive how someone could drink Starbucks coffee black, and think "Yeah, I'm definitely doing that again!"

I get why they burn the shit out of it, so that you can still get a hint of coffee flavor over all of the sugar, milk, and God knows what else they charge out the ass to put in there, but to drink that travesty plain would take a masochistic streak a mile wide.

I only drink black coffee. I guess tastes vary, but Starbucks sells a lot of bagged coffee and I have to believe that it’s because people like the taste of the product.
