CoffeeKid - Things I don't like about Coffee (#)

  „Starbucks: For all their good, they do some bad as well. Starbucks can be a bad corporate citizen, especially with their heavy handed legalistic attacks against other companies, and even individuals. I especially don't like the fact that Starbucks has taken other people's ideas and claimed them as their own (one example is the infamous Joe Magazine idea that was pitched to them, they rejected it, then a year or two later started up a, you guessed it, Joe Magazine concept without paying due to the originator). Starbucks needs to examine some of their corporate practices and fix them.“

  „Here's the very, very sad news: the best espresso shot we had out of all the shops we hit was... a Starbucks. And it wasn't the Starbucks espresso, pulled on their La Marzocco Linea machine.“

  „Maybe you're someone who grew up thinking Folgers Crystals were the epitome of good coffee in the home, or maybe you have been going along with the premise that Starbucks coffee is the peak of espresso perfection.

CoffeeKid - Vacuum Brewer Guide

  „Bodum has recently designed a new electronically controlled vacuum brewer called the Bodum Electric Santos (eSantos), which is also sold by Starbucks as the Starbucks Utopia coffee brewer. It can be finicky, but it is also one of the largest capacity vacuum brewers you can buy today - it can brew 1.5 litres of coffee.“

CoffeeKid - Are Vacuum Brewers Different?

  „Recently, we've been treated to a new material for vac pots. Up until 2000, almost all vac pots were either glass, or metal, or a combination of the two. Now with the Bodum eSantos / Starbucks Utopia, we have polycarbonate. Again, if used with care and some fiddling, it can brew a great cup of coffee - rich, full of flavour oils and aromas, and it also has the added bonus of being able to brew 1.5 litres of coffee - the most of any vac pot I've ever tried.“
