I swear I’m not a coffee snob. I have tried tons of different places and brands, both in store and at home. I have only had 2 or 3 brands/stores that are worse than Starbucks. I just can’t get past the burnt overroasted flavor they seem love there.
I will say the roastery in Seattle did have a good microbatch specialty drink there, but even then, I’ve had way better.
Years ago my only exposure to coffee was through Dunkin and Starbucks. In 2021 I splurged on a breville bambino plus and grinder to try making my own because regularly purchasing from either was too costly.
I don’t consider myself a coffee snob either (the shots I pull probably taste like shit to anyone who knows better) but I’ve learned to make a latte that tastes good to me! Since then I’ve been given Starbucks gift cards around the holidays, and damn - they’re almost painful to use but have their place in an emergency. It’s totally the thought that counts.

Dunkin can do now wrong! How dare you put them in the same sentence as Starbucks! /s
Grew up on the east coast. Drank lots of Dunkin.
My go-to is a nice light roast. You get a better coffee flavor and a higher caffeine content.
Meanwhile I can’t go anywhere else because it’s not roasted enough. Burn it and dump it down my throat!!!
