  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

They cover the burnt flavour with a quart of sugar, syrups, and creams so you don't even taste the coffee- Oh, wait second...

No, at $4500 a cup, I'm sure it's the best.

It's actually kinda the other way around. My uncle lived in Seattle for years, and he told me he ran into some Starbucks executive once. He asked about the burnt coffee, and they told him it was intentional so you could still taste "coffee" through all the sugar, syrups, and creams.

In fairness.... and I hate myself for saying this... their blonde bean isn't half bad!

Thankfully, they do blonde Nespresso pods so happy days. I know Nespresso have their own evils but one step at a time, eh?

Thankfully there's a local chain near where I live that is expensive as fuck but at least does better coffee. At least that's how I justify nearly remortgaging for each latte these days.

I have a dreading feeling that Nespresso is owned by Nestle, along with contributing to the single-use waste that is needlessly polluting

pods

Come on, have some self-respect. Literally just pouring hot water into a cup with some coffee, then pouring off the coffee 5 minutes later makes better coffee than that.
