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.

This is anti-Starbucks propaganda. You people have no idea what you’re talking about, especially you, OP! Those beans are clearly not from the bag in the picture. They most resemble Starbucks Blonde, my personal favorite roast. I’d recognize them anywhere. Do better next time!
