Starbucks is not Coffee! It is a political trap that sucks in the "me" generation like Lemmings over a cliff!
NO Thank You!
I have been fortunate or unfortunate as the case may be to have Coffee from all imaginable venues around the world. From those double boiler pots of Espresso over a wood fire on the docks of Genoa, Italy... to hard brewed Samovar Coffee in Istanbul Turkey. Early morning coffee and cognac on the beaches of Golf Juan and Marseilles on the French Riviera. None was ever bad. Some more memorable than others. All and all the atmosphere did make a flavor.
BUT the absolute best was that cup of JOE, shared with shipmates in the heat and sweat in a the bowels of a US Navy Destroyer Boiler Room amid screaming turbines and hissing steam! Brewed in an old time military Urn served in patina coated unwashed mugs! while pounding the waves in the North Atlantic.
Today I am a little more refined I tend to lean to "Death Wish" and Wake The hell Up coffees. Anchors Away!
