    Calling the stuff you buy at Starbucks coffee? What they sell is all sorts of sugar in a cup. This is not a coffee place, it is a diabetes hole.

        The most over roasted slop around, sure. There’s a reason why that place serves pure diabetes, their black coffee is kinda gross.

        maybe the coffee is gross so that it can pair with the diabetes. That much sugar needs a very strong flavor to offset it.

        Or Starbucks just uses the absolute cheapest beans on the market and then burns them for that truly consistent char flavor, which they then have to turn into diabetes to make palatable.

        Either way, it’s just not good.

          I have to agree with you, i’m on a special diet, so I only drink black coffee - and if I get an americano from starbucks its so immensely bitter it’s almost undrinkable - I think it only makes sense if they are balancing it against the super-sweetness of their sugar/fructose loaded drinks as default.
