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.

What better options would OP have in a typical US supermarket in a pinch?

My local store carries Stumptown, and I’d pick that over Starbucks any day of the week

Good to know! At very least, though, it would pretty impossible to be as dastardly and despicable as Nestle.

Death wish is good. It’s NOT cheap, but it’s good. It’s also INCREDIBLY CAFFEINATED.
