Perhaps. But that's how Starbucks works, by buying shitty beans and dark roasting them. It also makes it easier to have consistent coffee (consistently burnt, that is).
- slothtrop 4y agoStarbucks coffee tastes like battery acid.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoHere in the UK, I'd say Starbucks tastes of nothing. Hot brown drink. Their ground bags you can buy and take home are equally a non-event. Not sure why people rave about it. Coffee is some of the worst I've had, not withstanding UK McDonald's.
- eloisius 4y agoGiven the choice, I'll actually get a small cup of black coffee from McD's anytime. At least it's only a couple dollars.
- kortilla 4y agoWhich blend? They have multiple, including a pretty light one that you may have mistakenly gotten. “Starbucks” isn’t a blend or a flavor profile.
- telchior 4y agoIsn't "hot and brown" a mainstay of British cuisine in general?
- nibbleshifter 4y agoOnly according to Americans, tbh, and often ones who have never visited. Ones who have visited the UK, when asked where they ate, often ate at hellish tourist traps or absolute shit tier chain pubs like Wetherspoons or Greene King.
- telchior 4y agoI'm an American who has lived in the UK. I can report back that we're definitely not the ones who invented the term "eating beige".
- froh 4y agoyou shouldn't taste battery acid. really. don't.
- truetraveller 4y agoStarbucks Pike Place beans are fantastic. Don't know what your talking about. And I've tried numerous "specialty" beans.
- themadturk 4y agoI've always considered Pike Place Roast the worst beans that Starbucks ever foisted upon their trusting customer base; the fact that it's the only one brewed all day is an affront to decency (but that's just me). The best is Christmas Blend.
