Saw several coffees mentioned and that got me wondering.
I have had good cafe coffee once in my life. Most of the cafes make sugar nonsense. When I order black coffee, it's a coin flip between burnt bitter mess and fucking battery acid.
Now what are the chances that many people haven't had a decent cup of black coffee?
I don’t know why but in my country is very widespread the torrefacto coffee, that shit is disgususting, and almost everywhere you order coffee is always torrefacto (except in proper coffee shops, they are getting popular lately).
And in lot of places they make it even worse, so I would say that the chances are pretty high here.
I've had this thought as well. In the US, most people's first experience with coffee is months old Folgers or Starbucks. These two examples are both burnt and taste like battery acid. So, of course they're going to hate coffee.
That's wild, I've enjoyed most coffee I've had. I can't actually think of one I didn't enjoy, maybe a burnt roast a decade back? But yeah definitely different tastes.
The thing is most chain cafes here only serve coffee from an espresso machine and most people here are familiar only with chain cafes. So best case they tried americano type of drink, which to me is always very harsh.
