    I have never tried starbucks' coffee. Have I missed something?
    I preffer Italian expresso , short and strong.Not in many places they
    make it like in Italy. Its something to do with the water in combination
    with the adjustment of the machine. So I have been told.

    Yes , Cafe Nero in London is ok. Italian recepy.

        is starbucks the macdonald's of coffee?

        i definitely wouldn't say that.. mcdonald's sells low quality food where as starbucks is actually putting out a good product.. many will say they over-roast their beans but that's where opinion and taste come into play.. regardless, the actual berries are good from the start and it's not like they are trying to polish a turd..

        7eleven, dunkin donuts (and many others) on the other hand sell a lot of flavored coffee (hazelnut, vanilla, etc) which helps disguise the bad beans and/or allows many would be non coffee drinkers to enjoy a cup.. they've taken that a step further now and are selling 'bold' coffee.. the problem is, it's not like they are using a higher quality bean, they are just applying a 'bold roast' flavor to their normal stuff in the same manner they would do hazelnut..

        i've never been to holland but i've always imagined great little coffee shops there.. 😄 no?

        Yes, but the term 'coffee shop' here means pot shop, a place where you can smoke weed.
        A real coffee shop is just called a café.

        yeah, i know about you guys.. i was trying to make a little joke..

          I wouldn't buy anything from Starbucks- they've virtually monopolised the entire centre of Edinburgh, driving all the independant cafes out of business and then quickly snapping up the empty premises. Shame on them. 😠
