Recently switched to black coffee for a few weeks. I’ve had sour, bitter notes from the office coffee machine and a chain cafe.

I’ve also had salty aftertastes from Starbucks and a small one person run shop.

Basically I have no idea what good black coffee taste like.

Just trying to do intermittent fasting and have no calories in the morning, any tips?

    Starbucks always burns their beans. I always drink my coffee black and their is the worst tasting.

          Fun fact: Tim’s switched to a cheaper bean supplier years ago (when the coffee got obviously shittier, I think it must have been over a decade now) and McDonalds (Canada) actually snapped up the supplier. So McDonalds coffee in Canada is actually the original Tims coffee.

          Edit: sauce, this random r*ddit comment from 7 years ago.

            Yup, they use tim’s old supplier, but not the specific blend. Still way better than the swamp water tim tries to sell imo.
