Burnt coffee taste like burnt coffee. Vietnamese drink coffee with 1/4 can of condensed milk in it.

Bad coffee beans if not roasted to charcoal state taste even worse. Argument that that most of available coffee in VN is made from pretty bad beans, so roasters have no other way to roast it to that level.

That's it.

They could just stop selling it if it’s that bad :)

I agree. If they weren't making money, they'd go bust, so clearly someone likes the "burnt coffee". It's odd how some posters (not you!) Will act like an obvious opinion is to be taken as fact, and not acknowledge that some people like a certain taste. I mean, some people like super salty anchovies, but I abhor them, but I don't tell the anchovie lovers that they are incorrect.

I think it's because people that complain about "burnt coffee" (me) are people that take their coffee black and probably brew it at come.

Meanwhile, people that don't mind "burnt coffee" are the people that preferred coffee-based drinks from coffee shops. If I get a salted caramel mocha Frappuccino with two pumps of hazelnut - burnt beans are probably the only kind of beans I will be able to taste in that drink.

Lower income countries make do with what they have. They can't just throw everything out and import higher quality stuff like some countries can.
