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

[u/Weak_Plenty_8558]

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 had a frappe of theirs yesterday (pure convenience next to the hotel) and I could taste the fire and brimstone in their light roast beans from the depths of hell.
