bmusse-
I am not trying to single you out, but where are you coming from? My friends who go to McD's have all said the same thing: McD coffee is good, now. I cannot say I've heard anyone compare their coffee to that of Sbux, sorry. Combine that with McD publicizing their breakfast changes...
good espresso? maybe... but
I always used to wonder how they sell coffee. Starbux doesn''t even know what a medium roast is...add to that, the strength their coffee is brewed. It may be an [i:]espresso[/i:] drinkers place- but in my opinion, Starbux has never been a [u:]coffee[/u:] drinker''s...
