Coffee taster…
Second this, other than Starbucks, coffee is pretty crappy. Any places worth checking out will be highly appreciated
Costa, or any places’ (UK) local cafe’s, you could go into the middle of nowhere and still find a cafe or freehouse
I drink homemade mixes, Starbucks it’s good also, check out YouTube for different kinds of homemade mixes there are some which taste pretty good made with instant coffee.

Christ on a bike I wouldn’t take coffee advice from either of yous two loons
If bikes existed in that era, you best believe he would have rode one
And he still wouldn’t have cycled to Starbucks 🤢
I don’t get it. Why do people like Starbucks? To me it’s bitter and granular. Compared to a Nero which is smooth and sweet.
Yet, many avid coffee drinkers I know love the taste of Starbucks. Is it a genetic thing?
Most of the time I just get a standard coffee and they taste the same between all cafes and coffee shops, and with standard drinks Starbucks is cheaper than Nero, but at custamizing drinks level price doesn’t matter
Is it a genetic thing?
Probably more of a cultural one. Like how even Americans with Scandinavian ancestry consider black liquorice taste bud poison but us Scandinavians IN Scandinavia generally can’t get enough of it 😁
i’m from melbourne, australia which is one of the best places in the world for coffee… when i go to the US i try to find good coffee but our version of good tends to be VERY different
US good is a dark roast - which i find very bitter… australian coffee (and melbourne in particular) is quite a light roast, which is more acidic but less bitter
i find most good coffee in the US to be pretty undrinkable (this probably comes down to choice of preparations: black drip is pretty weak; espresso starts out strong), but a starbucks blonde is… inoffensive (note with relation to your comment: a light roast is probably what you’re talking about; especially a light double ristretto… a ristretto is a half shot, twice… the bitterness from coffee comes at the end of the shot, so nero is perhaps a light roast double ristretto… you also tend to get most of the caffeine in the first half i think? so it’s more caffeine if that worries you)
so when i’m in a rush and really just want to not hate what im putting in me, ill find a starbucks not because its good, but because its fucking hard work to find a good coffee that’s also my taste - my usual cues for a cafe just don’t work in the US, and there’s no a fantastic cafe on literally every corner so the choice is even harder
I live in a medium sized US city, and even here, StarBucks is pretty much the bottom of the barrel. Where do you live that StarBucks is the best?
Edit: Not throwing shade, genuinely curious. I had this situation in my hometown. But India is a tea-centric culture, so it’s understandable.
Without looking too far my prediction is to see 2 varations of replies mostly:
1.) I do something completely unrelated and enjoyable because my job is chill, or I’m good at it, and so on…
2.) I actually do my boss’s job and maybe even their bosses’ jobs, because I actually do the work that gets done, but am still paid at peon-level.

Is this specifically things we do during work hours more than our actual job? Or what we choose to do with our free time?
Cause if it’s slacking off at work, sadly, I am probably now a professional Solitaire player. If it’s in my free time… Well, my ADHD keeps me hopping from activity to activity so often let’s just call it “Special Projects Manager”…

I think I’d actually kill myself.
