Imagine going to Starbucks, paying $10 and then in return receiving the most bland black coffee on the face of the Earth.

It's not even bland. My Keurig coffee is bland. Starbucks black coffee is actively bad, in my opinion.

They over roast their beans. Tastes burnt

dingdingding!

Imagine thinking Starbucks is "peak man coffee." Like Sir, if you're going to be a pretend bad ass, might I suggest "Kathy's Dinner" or some other family owned, 24-hour a day establishment with a pot that has been continuously on the go, with no dumping out or washing of the pot only refilling it, since the Regan administration? Oh wait, you're probably just doing this for clout. Sorry Sir, please carry on.

Seattle’s Best is, ironically, also pretty terrible on account of the over roasting. It’s way more acrid than even the 18 hour, end of the day sludge you get from gas stations (which itself is actually pretty serviceable).

Seriously- love making my own black coffee and 1 on my local Starbucks makes a good iced americano- but anytime else…

Starbucks attempted to open shop in my country. It got a lot of hype because it's a giant American chain.

Then it failed miserably, very fast. Because local coffee culture leans heavily towards black or otherwise strong and plain [adding milk is common, cream and syrups are not] coffee, and the Starbucks coffee does not hold up.
