Swedish egg coffee (and other coffee)
ankhtahr:
Somehow I stumbled into a Starbucks today. Had an espresso. Didn't like it. I'm not a connoisseur, but the coffee tasted very overroasted. Too bitter, too sour, and without all the nice tastes which make espresso so enjoyable.
I won't go into a Starbucks again.

Starbuck's beans are double roasted, which is where that bitter flavor comes from. If you prefer your coffee to actually be enjoyable I suggest finding a Seattle's Best as far as large chains go.
Patrick:
Never ever order coffee from Starbuck's if you like good coffee. Sorry you had to learn the hard way, ankh.

Pretty sure they don't exist in Germany.
First girlfriend and I used to make out and a bit more at Starbucks. Hot times.

I used to go to Starbucks a lot with one of the guys I worked with. I never really liked the coffee there. Since he got his Ph.D, I've just been making my own espresso instead. It's a whole lot cheaper than Starbucks, and better too. The downside is I have yet to replicate their pumpkin scones.
edit -- Google gives me this link, which looks like a fairly easy recipe. If I ever get around to trying it out I'll probably gain so much weight... :psyduck:
