I’m lucky enough to be in an area with a ton of local coffee roasters, so I’m never that far from a good cup. But even before coffee became an addiction for me, I didn’t like Starbucks coffee. The plain coffee is too burned and doesn’t taste good, and the mixed coffee drinks are too sweetened to cover up the burned flavor of the coffee. These days if I can’t get to a local coffee place, I’ll just go to an AM/PM or 7-11 as they’ll have better coffee than Starbucks.

Imagine the room when this was the big idea. “Let’s burn the shit outta those beans!”
