Starbucks coffee is so gross. I don't have a funny little joke about it, because the taste of Starbucks is upon my lips and so all I can think of are thoughts of despair. And notes of cardboard.

"Would you like chocolate flavoured sprinkles on your coffee flavoured dishwater?" From the company that didn't trust staff to be able to turn a cold tap on and off when needed. Are they still paying themselves huge licence fees for using their own logo to an offshore jurisdiction to avoid tax?

Hate Costa Coffee, burnt flavours, too strong. I have to add sugar. I have to be desperate.

Burnt cardboard is an apt description. The only friend I know that goes, gets their iced tea, which isn't too bad.

I got an espresso con panna and it had a cream oil slick.

Too real

Fair but now I’m dying to know what coffee you really like

Burnt coffee / old coffee / also, shit coffee

Cardboard and burnt coffee. Better match? Impossible

It's burnt, acrid, & terrible. Once they got to a certain size, they needed a way to guarantee that coffee at every location tasted the same so they could offer a consistent experience. Only way to make it taste the same everywhere was roast until any variation between beans was cooked away.

The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world Starbucks coffee is superior coffee worth premium pricing.
