I wouldn’t, because Starbucks. There’s 100% a superior hipster/indie/whatever appropriate gender coffee shop within 2-3 blocks. Very possibly right next door. Why are you okay with burnt espresso?
People on Lemmy don’t seem to remember that rural landscapes exist where stuff like this isn’t true. And people on Lemmy are somehow even more up their own ass than redditors, jfc
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.
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.
There isn’t around me. They used to be but he had to close down because it turned out he wasn’t paying for all of his electricity (somehow the electrical company were only billing him for a quarter of what he was actually using) when they amended the bill it was pretty obviously unaffordable.
The rent is ridiculous because it’s in the commuter belt for a major city even though the town itself is kind of a dump.
So all I have is the option of Starbucks or driving like 25 minutes into the city and trying to find something there.
I would want to be friends with every character in this fictional story.

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.

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

Because people need their coffee flavored milkshakes, ok?
And you’re gate keeping coffee if you dare to suggest otherwise, ok?
And also you are not allowed to tell anyone that they have a morning milkshake addiction, okkkk???
This specific story may be fictional but it is 100% plausible at the Seattle Broadway location.
