Some folks think it means Starbucks is good. NOPE.
Starbucks isn’t coffee. It’s actually trash:

If you drink coffee, avoid it after 11:AM. Seriously.
Starbucks intentionally over roasts their beans well past the ideal roasting point. They do this to ensure a consistent flavor across locations, but to me it just tastes like shitty burnt coffee.
At the end of the day, Starbucks is a coffee chain in name only. Their menu is largely milk-based and many of their products happen to have some coffee in them, so I guess it doesn’t matter too much if the coffee component is sub-par.
They have light roasts. You can order one.
Maybe go for the blonde instead of the French roast.
You realize they sell more than one kind of coffee… Right?
Coffee without cream should be a sin. 😘
