re: Worst coffee brand

Starbucks is the worst imo because of how they over roast their beans to make a consistent product. Starbucks beans are fine if you are mixing in milk and sugar because it contrasts well with the over roasted beans but if you want straight black coffee it’s horrible

the worst is that Mello Joy

These are my 1/2. Mello Joy is really similar to some Community blends, so not sure what was wrong with what you had.

can concur. ever pour out black starbucks coffee?? it looks and has the viscosity of used engine oil.

All the pre-ground mass produced stuff (like exclusively preground and mass produced - Folgers, Maxwell House, etc.) is terrible. It tastes primarily like the cheaply made drip machine used to brew it.

Next is the slightly better mass produced and mostly old/ground stuff - Chock full o nuts, most Community, etc.

Starbucks isn't great, but it's ok. People who drink Folgers from a Mr. Coffee and complain about freshly ground Pike just don't really like coffee to begin with. At least the over roasted Pike will be freshly ground and reasonably well made and probably a bit fresher than the grocery store whole bean Starbucks.

Roasting date is more important to me than origin, blend, roast, etc. in 95% of circumstances.

Starbucks is definitely more roasted. You know why? Because the millions upon millions of dollars they have spent on customer taste tests tells them that is what most customers want. That's why they are the largest coffee company in the world.

I'll drink most any coffee, but really don't like Keurig or Nespresso that much.

And most gas station coffee sucks as well

For drive through I miss being able to hit caribou coffee

I can’t believe y’all are bashing a local brand in Folgers (roasted in New Orleans)!!

The 1850 brand of Folgers is pretty good. The classic brand (red bucket) I don’t think is 100% arabica beans…which might account for some of the “bad” flavor

Most people are drowning it in creamer sugar and whipped cream. They’re not drinking coffee they’re drinking a damn sugar milk. Real men drink coffee black.

I can’t stand hosting guests and they have to have their coffee dowsed in sugar and creamer. Makes a mess at the coffee station. Just drink a damn soda or Tea at that point

Bitches who say they'd never eat fast food or get a milkshake at Sonic or McDonald's are going to Starbucks and.....getting a $10 2,500 calorie milkshake.
