THE COFFEE SUCKS

I need to put half of Cuba in it for sugar. I could see it growing on me though but I don't go there. A coffee at Starbucks puts a few cents in Obama's pocket. I go to Dunkin Donuts where I know the money goes to good use.

THE COFFEE SUCKS

Actually, it only seems that way because Starbucks has killed off all the purveyors of really awful coffee (well, at least those that don't make most of their money by selling gasoline), and now represents the floor from which coffee quality rises.

I actually appreciate the predatory nature of Starbucks: all the surviving independent coffeehouses and roasteries now provide really good coffee (in the college town where I am located, the local coffeehouse has really good coffee, has expanded to four branches, and kept Starbucks' presence down to a drive-through located where it will snare out-of-towners and a coffee bar in one of the local supermarkets).
