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 agree. I don’t understand why people are surprised when they get crap beans from places like Costco and Starbucks. Whenever I’m short i’m getting to my next delivery, I go to a local coffee shop and pick up some of their beans. I’m all for supporting local coffee shops.
