And might have burned or damaged your taste buds as well!

That's like saying.. "Just give me a damn hamburger, I don't care where it comes from....As long as it's meat, I'm good."

I don't think that I am all that picky, but maybe a bit discriminating... I think the best analogy is "homebrew" beer compared to Bud Lite. Roasting and grinding your own coffee beans is akin to hombrew beer whereas Folgers is more akin to Bud Lite if you catch my drift.... One is "lively" while the other is dead as a door nail from a taste perspective by comparison.

Well GLTY Latenight my friend, and to your "cooked coffee". I guess all those millions of pounds of Vietnamese Robusta must go someplace!

BTW, Charbucks (also known as *$) is not bad in a pinch. They are the bottom of the top end coffees if that makes sense. I still prefer the locally owned independents such as Courtyard Coffee. Besides I never quite caught on to the *$ lingo like: "double pump vent frap no whip", whatever the heck that means.
