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.
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
