I forbid drip coffee in my house and if a traditional american cup of coffee is desired it is americano style or french-press only. I on the other hand will avoid Starbucks completely and will go without my beloved espresso-based or coffee drinks rather than settle for what is mediocre coffee at best, yet worshipped by the unknowing as good. It is nothing to do with corporate versus little guy either. I just refuse to contribute to the misconception that Starbucks is quality and deserves my dollar. I share your love of coffee.

As a fellow coffee lover (who doesn't love coffee???) I might have to try some of this stuff. :-) Ok, so at the risk of starting a heated debate...I feel the need to ask...how did "corporate guilt" as I call it get started? You know, the guilt that arises when you support a "big box" corporate (i.e. chain) business like Starbucks, Lowe's, Wal-Mart, etc. After all, they were all the little guy at one point in time. They had a vision, the drive to succeed, and became successful. What's with the "no, not the chain" type of mentality in our society? I know, the little guy is important, and I fully support them, but why the "big box guilt/avoidance"? Awesome string of posts! As a fellow coffee lover (who doesn’t love coffee???)
