I used to tell everyone I knew about this when I worked at the uh… You know. (Sbux) and I never knew this until then either. Great advice. People need to know. Darker roasts are so much better.
Yes. Exactly…. It’s so funny how nobody knows… also I really do like the taste of stronger roasts better. I can appreciate the movement towards lighter roasts, however, my hearts sits with the dark.
