Um, the whole "over-roasting" complaint was dealt with quite a while ago now that you can walk into a Starbucks and say "mild."
If you want a properly roasted French or espresso roast, go to a proper cafe—preferably one that roasts its stuff on-site and knows what they're doing.
Regardless, enough with the "I don't go there because it's burnt." You have options...unless you're a dark roast connoisseur and none of the current dark roasts on Starbucks' roster is done "properly."
Many people simply don't like dark roast.
