brought my french press and some "Starbucks Medium Roast Breakfast Blend ground coffee" to work, pressed myself up a couple of cups so far.
yea ill flat out say it, this "Starbucks Medium Roast Breakfast Blend" coffee is fucking gnarly, lol
theres this other brand coffee i used to really like and bought all the time, "Kivu" or something like that, it was Fred Meyers generic gourmet coffee. the Kivu kona blend and their other light blends are fucking awesome. theyre like 10/10 compared to this starbucks bullshit lol, and theyre not even at the top of the gourmet food chain, far from it.
this starbucks coffee tastes burnt and is way way too bitter. when id buy light roast whole beans from fred meyer they looked like they were soaked in oil, glistened and shit, then you grind them up and the coffee was awesome. so smooth, and the idea of adding milk or sugar to it didnt even cross your mind, why ruin something that tastes so great. all i can think about right now is adding cream and sugar to this starbucks shit to mask the awful bitterness. way more caffeine than this starbucks shit too.
if you love yourself that 'plain old fashioned coffee taste', that strong bitter taste akin to 7-11 coffee, am/pm coffee, dunken donuts coffee, mcdonalds / burger king / dennys / most diner coffee, then this starbucks breakfast blend would be perfect for you. its pretty much exactly like coffee at the places i listed, maybe a notch above those places though.
