Gregory's ServerStarbucks has proven to me this morning that if you use burnt coffee beans it is in fact possible to burn cold brew

  The only good thing about Starbucks is that wherever you are in the world, you know you'll get the same overpriced mediocre coffee. Works okay if you're too lazy to look for better coffee shops in an unfamiliar city.   In the US, it's the only chain I'm familiar with that has standardized on the single-stall, gender neutral restrooms that are the norm in much of Europe. They've won me over for that reason. (Although yes, their coffee tastes burnt 100% of the time.) Podcast Host Jonathan, idk, I know a tiny Starbucks (now "Stars Coffee"). The odd thing about it is that it's across an intersection from a larger one. Anyway, we have a nationwide chain called Surf Coffee, I like it much more, their interiors are cool and unique (2nd pic) and the coffee is tastier than Starbucks.      @darius They should make that cold brew their brand and call it the freezer burn.  Oh, jeez, the first time I ever went to a Starbucks, I swear it tasted like spoiled fish. I commented to the lady at the counter that it tasted strange. She said, "Yeah, a lot of people find it really strong until they get used to it, but then they love it." I demanded my money back anyway, and I asked for a quadruple espresso, plain. Her eyes popped out of her head a bit, but the espresso tasted just fine.  |
