On a related note, the amount of time that I've recently spent researching $1000+ espresso grinders prolly doesn't bode well for 2021 bike crap purchases.

I guess so. In the interest of full disclosure, we buy Starbucks beans for home use because they're decent quality and cheap at the local military commissary. They're definitely better than Peet's which is the other brand of beans they carry. I don't notice the burntness except in the ultra-well done, French and Italian roasts, which we don't often buy.

Along those lines, several years ago, when my brother and SIL found out that I was in to coffee, they gave me 6-8 bags of Sbucks beans for Christmas. It was a lovely gesture, but

Supposedly, the beans have that bite because the customers wanted to taste the "coffee" through all the added sugary ingredients they add into their concoctions.

Yeah, I don't drink that ****. I'll go to the cafe that carries SBUX at work occasionally as a social thing or to a store in a foreign city where it's the only thing available or the local product is dodgy.
