Althrough this is the best way to have your caffeine shot, beware to not drink to much otherwise you end up spending half of your day in the toilets. | ||

I was just scarred by Instant coffee recently. It tasted like soy sauce. That was the end of that experiment. | ||

I also like iced coffee quite a bit. I think Starbucks has pretty good drinks actually for anything that's not a regular coffee. | ||

(This isn't to say, either, that there aren't rabid Starbucks partisans. I worked at one in college, and I have seen the fanatics face-to-face. I just think there are a lot of people in general who treat Starbucks like the mass-producer that it is.) | ||

I mean, it's not like McDonald's is considered the epitome of a good burger. It's just the most popular chain. (This isn't to say, either, that there aren't rabid Starbucks partisans.

It's just that I think that generally, there is an undue reverence awarded Starbucks when it comes to something other than their milkshakes. | ||

Here's the thing: Starbucks is held up as a bastion of good coffee in the States. It's held up as the most popular specialty coffee seller.. People who have only drank Dunkin Donuts and Folgers and Maxwell House may hold it up as the "tops" in coffee.. People who like sugary flavoured steamed milk with a tiny bit of espresso in it may also hold up starbucks as the "tops" in coffee as well.. But anyone who knows anything about decent coffee would laugh and laugh at your statement.. There is a considerable market for good fresh roasted coffee, and it shows by the success of top roasters/shops like Intelligentsia, Stumptown, Gimme, PTs, Klatch etc I know where you're coming from in your statement, but i must take issue with it just because there is a large community of people in america who do know what good coffee is and they know that starbucks is a joke in comparison. You are right about how they burn their beans too, especially espresso. The bags starbucks sells on shelves are also so stale it's a tragedy. | ||

But as this quote proves, pretentious coffee fags come from all over the world. Why someone gets smug over coffee I have no idea. In highschool beerbongs made you king and now with the sophistication of university it's the ability to drink straight liqour with a straigther face. Coffee is a necessity, but it nothing to flaunt coolness about hipster fags. | ||

If being passionate about coffee and learning about coffee makes you smug, arrogant, and snobby, then can't you say that about anyone who is deeply interested in anything at all? Some people can be classified as pretentious or snobby, but having an interest in something doesn't make you such.. | ||

Perhaps it's just because I come from a small town that my sample is biased. I do hope I'm wrong. But from where I come from, the only word (not main - only) against Starbucks is that they're overpriced, which while true, shows that Starbucks coffee is considered a luxury. Small-town life leads one to be pessimistic. Perhaps you're right. Sic spero. Also, On April 13 2011 23:48 MiniRoman wrote: Dude you're Canadian and he said in the states.

But nothing comes close to a really strong Italian espresso. It's bitter, sweet, aromatic and hot at the same time; a flavor bomb of pleasure for multiple senses. Apparently the mere thought brings out the poet in me. | ||
