too true Katy,
your story reminds me of the old fable, "the King's New Clothes"

Starbuck's ahs a booth at our local superstore (Meijer) so while we were
shopping the other day, Mr Sails went to buy us a cup....when we tasted
it, we thought it burned and returned it and asked for our money back (I
will not pay for crap...) The woman was astounded that we thought the
coffee was bad and insisted that there was no way it could be burned. I
told her that if it wasn't burned then someone needed to wash out their
brew machine because the oils had collected and made the coffee bitter.
She still argued until I finally said I wanted to speak to her manager.
What is it with clerks arguing with customers nowadays? What ever
happened to the customer always being right (not that they are, but clerks
should just say "yes, ma'am and shut up....) The coffee was really
bad...you would have had to eat a jar of TUMS if you'd drunk it all....

I'd say they burn it so they can get away with using smaller qunatities
of lower quality coffee and still have a cup that has a remote
resemblence to real coffee.

Cheers

starbucks is about the worst coffee i've ever tasted
it always tastes burnt and have been told they delibrately do this to
extract more caffiene
at $3.50 a cup, it is also the biggest rip off around.

If Starbucks is so bad, how come there's one on every corner? They
seem to be busy.

Are you under the impression that McDonald's serve the best beef?
