It's like an epidemic. I've tried like 4-5 cafes now and it's all like drinking battery acid. Do they just not care? Or do you think they believe it's meant to be like this? If that's the case I feel bad for them.

Hard disagree. What I can't stand is burnt coffee, and lighter roasts provide more acidity and IMHO more complexity than just "burnt."

I'm the reason all your coffee is acidic! Mwahahaha! It's all me!

there's a difference between "light roast acidity" and "horribly under extracted lemon juice acidity"

Right? There's a reason that 'espresso romano' is a separate thing
