Reverend Billy's Starbucks Invasion (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„This was timed as a part of Citizenwork's "National Big Business Day." By "We" I mean Reverend Billy, the character I inhabit, and The Church of Stop Shopping, a New York group opposed to neighborhood destruction by transnational chain stores. We performed in a number of Starbucks on Saturday, but as a public gesture, to kick off the festival, we invaded the devil's cafes in the Astor Place area, the historic intersection in downtown New York. A heated rally followed immediately by a march on the three Starbucks that sit there staring at each other across Lafayette Street -this was our afternoon's work. Meanwhile folks were downloading our "invisible comedies" from REVBILLY.COM and performing, Augusto Boal style, in other cities as well.“

„When you look at the bias of this board you will notice that people are constantly looking for a better brew and better espresso.   Unfortunately, Starbucks seems to be going down a different path and has to focus on consistency rather then being the highest quality.   I think many of the people on this forum are very passionate about coffee and have discovered a higher plateau of quality thru independent roasters and retailers that do spend the time to train their staff and care about the quality of their coffee and preparation.   I seriously doubt you will ever see Starbucks offering a Cup of Excellence winner.“

CoffeeGeek - Rancilio Rocky - Jack Salch's Review (#)

„I had been using a spin blade grinder prior to my adventure into the real world of coffee, the world of espresso coffee. I had been enjoying coffee for many years and even enjoyed the milk based cappy’s and latte’s from places like $tarbucks. After finding CG form on the WWW.  I learned that the spin blade just breaks the beans apart while over heating them as well.“

„Unlike, $tarbucks, you never have to choose between foam and liquid. You have a true rich froth like a master italian barista would make. If you are a cappucino, macchiato, or breve lover, take it from this coffee fiend and owner of a top-of-the-line espresso machine, this is the best [$] you could possibly spend.“

„Until I saw THE BOY I was a typical Scouser, all Echo and the Bunnymen, Merseybeats, The Tarbucks and the like. Then I heard Damon sing and I realised that the only music that mattered came from Manchester. Badly Drawn Boy changed my life, stopped me from doing some really bad stuff, and I love him.“

„If they are trying to go up market slightly they will heat up the milk and add coffee powder directly to it. Take that as you will but we also have $tarbucks and others over here. but I'd have to say that unless you go out of your way its likely to be a well stewed drip coffee with cold milk.“
