starbucks is McD's for true and wanna-be yuppies. improving their coffee is a good thing, anything better than that watered down flavorless crap they have been serving for years. alas if only pete's had wifi

Watered down and flavorless? Maybe compared to eating straight coffee grounds. The only valid criticism of Starbucks is they tend to over-roast the beans, allegedly because it makes consistency easier. That aside, it's very good coffee at a fair price.

okay I disagree but its a matter of taste, I prefer strong, bold flavored espresso and drip, and to me, starbucks has always tasted light and watery - obviously someone (everyone) likes it.
