Big Coffee is bad for you
I don’t drink much coffee (usually no more than a cup a day) but when I do I prefer it to both taste of coffee and have a decent caffeine content. There is the slogan, first coffee, then revolution but I’m not sure Marx and Engels were keen (they did like cigars).
A survey by Which (which means it’s not promoting something) shows that the global coffee chain Starbucks sells the weakest coffee. Starbucks also has reactionary politics as a company. Pret does quite well on caffeine, certainly not a model business, but not Starbucks. Greggs also does well. It is fully unionised.
Perhaps as with beer the answer is to find an indy coffee shop where you like the coffee, give it your custom and sod Big Coffee
I wonder what Wetherspoons coffee is. Apart from riding in price twice since January!

Always thought that Starbucks’ (and most other purveyors of hot coffee) tasted like dishwater. Now we know why – it is. Mind you, coffee’s good for you, according to Prof. Tim Spector of the Zoe COVID app.

WC Fields advised: never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.
