Thank you, very much.
I like it without cream or sugar. I like it smooth, I like it strong. I do not like it bitter.
That’s why I don’t understand the Starbucks mystique. To me, that coffee is just plain nasty. And it annoys me that so many places are going to a like type of coffee. Bitter. Blech.
Maybe it’s because at Starbucks, you can get it diluted with so many different things, the stuff that makes lattes and whatever the hell else they sell. Putting all that crap in it lessens the taste of the coffee, so they make the coffee nasty so that you can still get a little of the coffee flavor with all the other crap that’s been added.
One batch of beans back, we bought a bag of Starbucks beans at Costco (I have a little grinder and I grind beans here, put them in a plastic container, store in the freezer and those grounds last me about a month). The coffee wasn’t very good. I mixed those beans with some regular beans and it was better, but I’ll not buy the Starbucks beans again.
I don’t know about you, but I like my coffee black, strong and smooth. Hold the bitter.
