I can't drink regular starbucks coffee without doing it. They over roast the shit out of those beans and it's always so bitter. Even their medium roasts are a bit much for me.

You only need a pinch, like 4-5 grains to do the job.

    pro life hack tip 420: go to independent 3rd wave coffee shops, they are the same price but the quality is out of this world, order a cortado with oat milk, drink it knowing you drank milk from an Oat Cow, and coffee from slightly less slave like conditions (its actually direct trade with farmers) and that way you arent contributing to the absolute worst business practices a multinational relies on, or the cruelty to animals

          Good stuff, yeah, I really haven't sought out more than a couple of independent places tbh. Coffee is just a vessel for me to get caffeine when I need it. But I just looked up two different cafes that are sorta near me, I'll give 'em a shot to see what they sell for beans. tbh I really never gave it that much thought. I mean I know how fucked up the coffee bean industry is, but I also have to stay pretty frugal with my purchases for the most part. If they end up only being a few dollars more I'll check it out. Good lookin out.

          I just looked up one of the most popular places near me that isn't starbucks and found out they supported actual nazis lol

          he family behind Peet’s parent company JAB Holding had been staunch supporters of the Third Reich, and in fact had built their fortune via Nazi Germany’s large-scale forced-labor system. Honcho Albert Reimann Sr. was a card-carrying Nazi who made donations to the SS, Hitler’s paramilitary force, in the early 1930s. In 1937, according to the New York Times, Albert Reimann Jr. wrote a letter to Heinrich Himmler: “We are a purely Aryan family business that is over 100 years old,” it read. “The owners are unconditional followers of the race theory.”
