CoffeeGeek - A reluctant admission, I don't hate Starbucks (#)

  „For me, if there had never been a Starbucks I would have probably never become the coffee lover I am today. Because let’s face it, before Starbucks, coffee was that dreadful black muck in the urn at the 7-Eleven. Before the Starbucks revolution, the sum total of my experience with coffee was large Styrofoam cups of  that kind of junk, crammed full of enough milk and sugar to make it taste like something I could actually drink, and imbibed solely for the caffeinated jolt I thought might keep me awake through the next class, or drive, or term paper. Drink coffee for pleasure?“
