Blandest fucking shit I've ever had lmao

I keep telling myself to be open-minded and try things and keep vindicating my gut feeling that things will suck

    you can buy from specific small (or large ig) farms abroad and then roast it. if anything the large companies have the harder job trying to homogenize their output when they sell more coffee than any one plantation can provide. "same as everyone else" could be any of many thousands of farms, who grow in different conditions, different elevations, shade levels, soil, etc

      This is true, but it's also equally true that the darker the coffee roast, the closer the end product gets to literal charcoal, therefore making the provenance of the beans far less relevant. That's why starbucks definitionally cannot have a mass-market light roast or even a "true" medium roast.
