You people are CRAZY! I’m from Seattle, espresso capital of the US (and soon the world) and can tell you, Starbucks is NOT coffee, it’s overroasted, burnt SLUDGE! You want coffee, try Seattle’s Best Coffee brand. MUCH better!! No, I don’t want to win this, just wanted to pass along my _rant_ on Starbucks. ---
