@elexia Maybe they were just really really bad at making coffee. But personally, I'd just make the bad coffee at home and get the nice coffee later, if I absolutely needed to for any reason.
I like making nice coffee myself, and a very specific dark roast and acidity. But I'll also just make instant coffee with a bunch of sugar if I can't be bothered to.
@sinituulia @elexia if instant coffee tastes too awful, I've found mixing instant coffee with hot cocoa works really well for a ersatz moccachino
