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..

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.
