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.

I have. Medium roasts are fine; it's just that the darker the roast, the more bitterness and smoke ("roasty") dominate the flavors. It's like coconut milk: it's fine in piña coladas and coconut shrimp; everywhere else, it just makes whatever it's put into taste like coconut. While it's an exaggeration to say that it's all I taste, it's sort of true in that its all I notice because I find it unpleasant.

☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
