I generally hear this complaint for people who don't like stronger coffee. Starbucks coffee is typically roasted darker and brewed stronger. I think it's wonderful, but the folks I know who don't like it say it as an acidic taste. I don't taste that at all, and it's really hard to over-extract a coffee bean using the drip method. I think it's just too strong for some people's taste. McDonalds coffee is palatable, but I always think it tastes too weak.
I doubt that's it; as I enjoy all measure of very strong coffee... espresso included... I even have made my own coffee (always v strong) with Starbucks beans that doesn't have that burnt taste in it. If you LIKE it i think that's fine.. many people must, but it's def not from being "strong".
