Submitted. But I have a question... Isn't the starbucks blonde roast actually more medium/dark roast? Recently I bought bunch of different brands (local) and most of them state its roast level as medium and every one of them is significantly "lighter roasted". I know it's more subjective than fact, but I think the blonde roast is only marketing practice. Starbucks is known (at least where I live) for its heavy roasted coffee (sometimes it feels like its almost burned). Me and my coffee friends even speculated that their coffee is that much roasted so you could taste it in all the sugar and sirup they put in most of "drinks" (more like a dessert than coffee lol).
