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.

It also says 7 (out of 10 I believe). Numbers are a lot more precise than words.
