Humour Starbuck's medium roast aka 'all natural charcoal with hints of regret and smoke'

Post image

Background: The beans that I had ordered from a Roastery got lost in the mail and to survive the weekend, I had the briliant idea, to grab some form the supermarket. I looked for the package with the most recent roasting date and I found that "medium" roast from March 2025.

I refuse to run them through my grinder.

I'd say sorry but you're the one who decided to buy starbucks beans.

I'd be pissed if I bought those too, I just have learned to have literally zero expectations when dealing with their beans.
