The regular brew is the worst coffee I’ve ever had. In fact, I never had a cup of Army coffee, include that brewed in the field that tasted as bad and bitter as the normal Starbuck’s blend. I’ve probably had fewer than a dozen cups of their product, including those at a conference where it was provided to the participants.
To me it has a strong after-taste of marijuana, or skunk, or sh*t. Its a bad experience.
