It's the old problem of uncritical consumers. People actually buy and drink this rubbish and talk about how wonderful a "fresh" cup of coffee is. If consumers would stop buying sellers would be forced to change their ways, but I don't expect this to happen. I have served people freshly brewed, freshly roasted press-pot or Aeropress coffee made from Brazilian CoE beans only to have them tell me, while drinking it, how wonderful the cup of whatever they had from a local café tasted, when I know the café serves 3-year old Tchibo coffee. Not too long ago I served a cappuccino to someone who said it was almost as good as from Starbucks. These are the people that are buying coffee. The only thing you can say about it is, they get what they deserve (and want apparently).
