I love Starbucks, and any other coffee shop that can give me something close to the coffee I remember in Europe, especially France.
I wouldn’t go so far as to try to roast my own beans; my oven probably doesn’t have the fine temperature control needed. But I buy the darkest roasts I can, with beans so dark they look like dark chocolate.
I can’t tolerate most coffee that comes in cans.
Ah, so you have happy memories of le cafe de la belle france... That explains a lot!
Actually, I was thinking of a counter-top device that I’m sure I’ve seen advertised - “perfect roast every time” or some such, enough for a cup at a time, or maybe a pot. But since you like Starbucks, you can always find your blend.
My problem is that I’m in the same boat as the libs on whom so many posters are dumping their Folgers: I like the expensive stuff, but hate paying for it!
