A good dark roast is hard to achieve without burning the beans. But also removes the disgusting acidic taste from the beans that medium and light roasts heretics have been trying to demand our respect for.

Different strokes for different folks! I've definitely had good dark roasts, but it is undeniable that the more you roast something, the more regional character it loses.

Personally, I like acidity in beverages, and coffee is not very acidic at all compared to beer/wine/juice/etc.

I don't agree with the "Italian coffee is crap" sentiment, but I also don't agree with the "light and medium roasts are disgusting" sentiment. So fuck you both, now let's kiss
