You know though that Starbucks has a certain flavor that if you like it you like it. I have been to lots of mom and pops coffee huts and have an Americano and I often prefer Starbucks which usually gives me a cup at least 2-4 times larger for the same price. I don't like Starbucks coffee (only their Americano)
The island I live on in Hong Kong has Pacific Coffee and frankly I find it utterly undrinkable sewage in comparison. I do like a new independent better than Starbucks and they make a superb Piccolo latte that Starbucks doesn't even make - still it's $5 and comes in a small glass smaller than a Starbucks short.
Serious Coffee, a chain on Vancouver Island is probably my favorite of the chain coffee places for coffee. I enjoyed Peet's Coffee in San Francisco as well. Amazingly they sell Peet's Coffee beans here in Hong Kong as well.

Yes I enjoyed the beans I bought from them here as well. Still - I like the slightly burnt dark taste of Starbucks Americano. Same as I like burnt almond dark chocolate. So when people say Starbucks tastes burnt I kinda of say - "so?" It's kind of like the Guinness of beers - you either like it or you probably loathe it but if you like it then all other beers seem like weak arse girly men in comparison.
