Coffee

[alanmcorcoran]

With apologies to WW, this is a stub for any further discussion, flamery, responses to flamery, etc. on the Starbucks/Peets/Seattles Best/Caribou vs Duncan Donuts/7-11/AM-PM relative coffee merits. I am on the record as pro Starbucks (and pro coffee in general.) I think their coffee is generally superior to the convenience marts, in quality, consistency and presentation and, for the regular coffee at least, I think $1.60 is a fair price. I also would like to say they have excellent restrooms - especially if you want a little privacy to mess with motorcycle gear/peeing complications.

Others have weighed in with their favorites and I got a little testy when a certain doctor in florida dared call SB's appeal mostly "image and hype" or something like that. Sarris gave us a handy solution to ensure your coffee never tastes like crap.

I considered that any further examination of this topic is probably beyond overkill, but, it occurred to me that Starbucks is often my default destination on any pointless MC rides to nowhere in particular, and for that, I figured it was worth at least one more post (but not in WW's hijacked thread.) Fire away!
