Why does every cafe around me have acidic espresso? (lemm.ee)

It's like an epidemic. I've tried like 4-5 cafes now and it's all like drinking battery acid. Do they just not care? Or do you think they believe it's meant to be like this? If that's the case I feel bad for them.

Caffeinated milkshakes, you mean?

I'll use them as a last resort, but not worth the money. The cold Americano is just about the only thing that I can drink that tastes ok, all other drinks are indeed bitter. I guess they are intended to be drunk with sugar.

When it comes to fast food chains, honestly the McDonald's coffee is the best of the bunch. Their flat whites are not bad at all.

Worst is probably KFC.

I do not enjoy McDonald's iced at all. Pressed has a decent iced coffee.

Even their pour-over, which is all I get, is terrible.

I agree McDonalds coffee is great. Not complex, but well-executed and consistent. Basically a cup of Folger’s, which is what I grew up on.
