Different strokes... divided by price:
I think Pret 99p coffee tastes shit, but it still fills a function and I'd rather pay them 99p for a shit brew than pay starfucks 2.70 for a marginally better one.
Or actual preference: i.e When you get to actually nice coffee-for example Artisan Roast or Dear Green-people geek out on the really light, fruity flavours that I think are rank but seem to be popular for being weird or atypical. I like pretty unfancy dark, mocha richness and I'll only buy one blend from AR that fits the bill. Every time I go they always try to get me to buy a bag of something else tho-gets quite annoying as if you don't know what your tastebuds appreciate.
Definitely wouldn't give any of these cunts a working visa off the back of their latte art skillz tho

It was a bit rhetorical as I like coffee but you make some good points.
Artisan roast can just fuck right off, haven't been back since they wouldn't give me a lid for my takeout flat white as it was gonna ruin the notes or some shit.
Dear Green, never had a cup of it that I didn't think was totally awful, only had it made for me though, never brewed it myself so...
Pret 99p filter I quite enjoy. Starbucks filter too although, maybe that's more a case of it being the most drinkable thing they do.

Why is it with things like beer you can like IPAs or sours or whatever, with wine you can like dry wines or sweeter wines, even with tea, you can be into green, rooibos or earl grey and people just accept that you might like something they might not but with coffee it seems like this isn't the case, it's mostly just people saying how shit one coffee or another is. Does anyone actually like coffee?
