But Starbucks coffee is also burned, but more because the beans are roasted too hard (which makes sense if you’re going to pour one espresso into a pint of milk, but it sucks if you drink it without milk).
The coffee isn’t burned (at least if you order espresso), the beans are, but the beans at the place using the percolator is also using cheap, burnt beans AND burning the coffee with a percolator
Neither is close to ideal coffee, but for me one is far worse
That’s an inherent flaw of the classic US percolators, where the coffee drips back down into the boiling water. It’s near impossible to not burn st least some of the coffee. Even basic filter coffee is usually better.
I’ve never come across a place that uses a perc and doesnt burn their coffee, so honestly I find Starbucks better on that alone
But the shitty espresso I can pull on my mr coffee beats both by miles

Espresso doesn’t refer to the strength of the coffee, only that it’s brewed under pressure.
