My wife was a manager of a Starbuck's for a while. They flew her to Portland for 60 days to teach her all about coffee and Starbuck's takes it very seriously. To people who say it's too much $, I understand that, but it's like saying Guiness isn't worth the money over Schlitz. Sure they'll both get you drunk, but one makes the journey more enjoyable. Starbuck's coffee is seriously good-especially their straight up stuff where you can taste it
