j'ai adoré mon hamburger

Question

This sounds like an opinion to me. I thought it should be in the imparfait. Could someone kindly shed light on this for me?

Bonjour Andrea,
J'ai adoré mon hamburger = I loved my hamburger
-> you are reflecting on how much you enjoyed the hamburger but the action (of "eating/savouring") is now over. Remember that Le Passé Composé is used for  past actions/events that happened once, with a clear beginning and end.
J'adorais mon hamburger = I loved (used to love) my hamburger
-> you are giving your opinion about the hamburger as if it’d been a teddy bear or a person that/whom you could not live without. You're insisting on the fact that this situation was ongoing then, describing the situation.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
