I go to Starfucks more for the social aspect and since I only drink coffee I end up getting it while there. Not impressed with the flavor of their coffee at all really and I agree it tastes burnt most times. It's the only place I go that I end up putting cream in my coffee which is sacrelige IMO.

What a pathetic policy..:down:
What isn't killed off by overroasting is lost by overcooking.
Your espresso is tolerable, but still...it's cheaper by far to brew at home.

Leaving the brewed coffee on the heater all freaking day literally burns the flavor out. A 25% reduction in temperature would fix that problem. :a:

I go to this little place on Elmwood in Buffalo that roasts their own beans. Amazing. And then the assortment of smaller coffee shops on the elmwood/allen strip have better coffee. And better people. I liked Coffee & until somebody burnt it down because the owner is gay. Not nice.
