Different beans require different roast times. if you over roast the beans it brings all the oil out of the beans and they have that burnt taste because they are burned, which all of your Starbucks beans are. They also are high priced for the cost verses other gourmet coffee .

I don't like starbucks coffee, but it's likely because the coffee tastes bitter to my palette. I had a similar humorous exchange (humorous to me, at least) with a starbucks drone when I wanted an Iced Coffee (which they did not sell). I have forgotten much of the exchange, but I did eventually get a 'medium' sized cup of 'plain old regular' coffee and a cup of ice (no extra charge)! The reason for not selling iced coffee, I was told, (i'm paraphrasing) is that it would destroy the proprietary, distinct, subtle aroma and flavor of the coffee. It tasted fine to me. I put a lot of sugar in it (which I never do for hot coffee!). I am enjoying reading your blogs.
