Something like three quarters of world coffee production is Arabica. It is more expensive than Robusto, but it's not because it's rare.
Actually it's 2/3. You didn't mention the REASON it's more expensive. It's MUCH more in demand due to taste.
You cannot make Robusto taste like Arabica through process.

Anyway, Starbucks coffee tastes burnt because it is. Arabica beans are actually brighter and fruitier than Robusto, so the fact that Starbucks manages to butcher them to such an extent is almost impressive. Further, coffee "strength" is almost entirely predicated on coffee to water ratio. It has nothing to do with the darkness of the roast or the length of time the coffee is steeped. I can just as simply make an extremely strong cup of light roast as I can an extremely week cup of dark roast.
Almost all of this is wrong. Starbucks does not 'burn the coffee' or roast the beans differently than coffee shops that use Robusto. The taste is totally different to those who can tell.
The water ratio is SB vs. your house or the local gas station. Those who like weak coffee shouldn't go to SB.
The process difference you don't understand is pressure. The machines at SB infuse the coffee much differently than your home coffee maker. Hell, you could buy a home espresso machine and use Arabica beans and it won't taste like SB coffee.
As Alton Brown said 'You can do it. But the machine is gonna cost you about $5,000'
As I've said many times here. I don't mind people dissing SB. We really don't want your kind around us.

I admire your dedication to being a moron.
You made a fool of yourself. Conservative posters called it out. Pretend I’m the issue.

Still right. And since your argumentation method is boring as hell here's a pic:

You copied and pasted a blatantly false headline. Congratulations: you posted fake news. Calling you out on your bullshite doesn't make someone a skyscreamer

The headline that couldn’t even get her title right?
Oh and she’s not newly appointed as she has been in her actual role for a while now. Oh, and I doubt she shocked Starbucks shareholders with these comments since she made them in 2015 when she was the Sam’s Club CEO.

I genuinely don't understand why you keep harping on Arabica beans. Any decent coffee shop is using Arabica beans. It's not like Starbucks has a monopoly on them
And I don't make espresso at home; I use a French Press. I'm not sure why you're discussing water ratio pertaining to espresso. Espresso is a pass through method, so ratio is irrelevant. Your pull cares about ground size, pressure, heat, and extraction time.
When I want espresso, I will order a cortado at a cafe I trust, and when I do, it kicks the shite out of anything I've ever ordered at Starbucks. Because, again, Starbucks burns their damned coffee

No they don't. Joe Muggs (Books a Million) and the 3 lone start ups in Shreveport/Bossier that all failed did not.

You brought up water ratio. People who don't like SB because of strength also don't like strong coffee made with less water. It's not taste to them, it's strength.

Well, I'll have to try 'cafe I trust' when they start a shop around here.
BTW, the lone shops that failed all had one thing in common. They were run by women who got federal aff action loans for minorities. Did you know that white women were minorities?

The burned flavor is called Arabica. It's expensive (not as much as Civet) and you're probably used to Robusto which tastes like watery shite. Don't go to SB is you like weak coffee.
Nah they burn the beans to create a uniform flavor. It tastes bad plus over roasting burns off more of the caffeine chemical.

She never said that. Holy shite what an indictment
With that said, she’ll single handedly destroy Starbucks which is fine because frick Starbucks.

Can't speak to the "lone start ups", but Joe Muggs is fricking awful
In Baton Rouge, both Magpie and French Truck are serving Arabica. Those are the two I frequent, so I won't attempt to vouch for the others. But, as a general rule, if your beans are coming from Ethiopia or anywhere in central or south American other than Brazil, it's Arabica. Robusta simply isn't grown there.
This is an example of what French Truck has on offer at the moment, for instance: LINK

No, there is no such thing as a 'uniform' flavor. It's good or bad. The reason they are so popular all over the world is because it tastes good to people who can tell the difference.
Caffeine is irrelevant to the taste. Blond roast has more caffeine but it tastes like water. That's why my buddy orders blond. He can't take a quad espresso.
The strength of coffee is derived over 100s of years of proximity. It's why people from New Orleans like stronger coffee than people from Denver. As coffee moved away from ports of entry it became lighter to conserve. That was handed down through generations.
I started out on Community Coffee at age 4. My tastes for strength increased over time.

People from New Orleans take fricking chicory in their coffee. They are hardly paragons of taste on the subject

We don't have that here. But it does remind me that years ago SB and some other shops served coffee in a ceramic coffee cup with a saucer underneath.
I don't remember when that stopped but I guess it was because so many people wanted coffee to go and paper was cheaper than washing dishes. The actual heavy coffee cup reminded me of my childhood. All I needed was a slice of buttered toast and The Morning Advocate newspaper and I was off walking to 2nd grade class.
