    I drink my coffee black, but I can’t do dark roasts. Messes with my gut. Starbucks always messes with my gut. But the medium roast whole bean I grind for the percolator every mornin? I can drink that all day, no problem. Gas station coffee tends to be pretty good. But hotel coffee often tastes like sawdust.

      Starbucks has WAY more caffeine than most takeout coffee.

      It messes with your gut probably because you’re getting 200-300 mg of caffeine when you’re expecting 100-150

        Nah, I’m used to a lot of caffeine, it’s really dark roasts. The longer roasting process creates compounds that aren’t significantly present in lighter roasts. Also, they roast for longer to hide the flavor of poor or old beans.
