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.

My favourite mass market coffee is Lavazza Cafe Oro which is a medium dark roast. I drink it black in both espresso and french press and it has excellent flavour and no burnt flavours
I recommend you try some medium roasts before condemning everything darker than light.
Coffee that doesn’t mention its roast is usually medium
I have. Medium roasts are fine; it’s just that the darker the roast, the more bitterness and smoke (“roasty”) dominate the flavors. It’s like coconut milk: it’s fine in piña coladas and coconut shrimp; everywhere else, it just makes whatever it’s put into taste like coconut. While it’s an exaggeration to say that it’s all I taste, it’s sort of true in that its all I notice because I find it unpleasant.
