it depends on the influances you have been exposed to. I used to prefer light roads untill I had a proper cup of blue mountian in jamaca. go to the middle east, greace, itilly, ect and have coffee there. on another note, I do not like most of starbucks dark roasts, they do tase burnt, but a proper dark roast should not take burnt or acidic.. if it does the roaster screwed up.
