Time Magazine Starbucks rant

Re: Time Magazine Starbucks rant

it seems like his main problem is that he cant have his starbucks coffee cause everyone wants it. I have tried starbucks once. I ordered a latte and it came in a 400ml paper cup, I could barely taste the coffee in it. was soooo milky, never again.

Yes I have been a victim there also, not only is it such a large cup it comes at a minimum temperature of scalding hot! So not only can you not taste that coffee you cant taste anything for the rest of the week. Last time I went to one I wanted to do some college work somewhere so I bought an OJ, from the bottle so they couldnt get it wrong

What self respecting snob would drink that stuff anyway?

Excellent point, Wushoes.

But I say that being guilty of having condemned before trying. Many colleagues also tell me McDonalds is good -- again, I may never be in a position to prove them wrong. Or right.

Well... I was in Fitzroy on Saturday, waiting for my car. Spent hours window shopping. Went to McDonalds to use the ladies and felt obliged to buy something. I can now safely condemn the McDonalds coffee, having tried it. ;D

Ordered a ristretto from HQ at Monash Uni today. Almost cremaless swill. Wasnt the worst Ive had. They have a line of girls in a production line; one pulls shots, one steams, one pours. They use the red Espro tampers and 3 LM FB70s lined up. Looks impressive. But I was disappointed...the standard there is usually quite good even though they pump out coffees like machines. There was a decent barista there who used to pull good shots...but has since left.
