Starbucks sucks because the espresso is WEAK!!  it is nothing but over priced, brown water, a triple shot of proper espresso should make your fingers tingle like an electric current is running through them, it should cause erratic and uncontrolled darting of the eyes, it should be felt from your hair follicles to the tips of your toes, a proper espresso should be a religious communion ...
"So she says to me, do you wanna be a BAD boy? And I say YEAH baby YEAH! Surf's up space ponies! I'm makin' gravy... Without the lumps. HAAA-ha-ha-ha!"

tried illy. tried samples from roasters all over the country looking for the best beans. found them, perfected my brew, then set up shop.

my standard for espresso is batdorf and bronson, washington, circa 1985.

I'm not questioning your claim, btw. people who know how to brew are pretty rare.

I have to admit I've only traveled in the US, so can't compare espresso here to what you can get in france or germany, for instance.

"Barista"?

Look, I want a fucking COFFEE.  Maybe even one of those frou-frou Coffees they invented in France on a day where they weren't feeling as full of fail as usual.

So I go to the coffee shop, and I ask the jerk there for a fucking Coffee.  I don't talk to a "barista", whatever the fuck THAT is.  I talk to the fucking COFFEE JERK, just like 50 years ago, I would have talked to the SODA JERK.

And what the FUCK is this bullshit about "standards for expresso"?  It's a fucking COFFEE.  Jesus H Christ.

 :D maybe someday i will stumble into a coffee shop with your "standards" potato, but i am not holding my breath, selling large volumes of brown swill at a high price  is the industry standard    and overly tattooed and face pierced hipster douche bag working for minimum wage is the "barista" in most coffee shops

the good stuff is made by people that like coffee and make it for themselves
