Thank you, Scott!! When I share your opinion with anyone who listens to me (an admittedly small cross-section of people <g>), they look at me as if I have three heads (last time I checked, I only had one). I would avoid Starbucks for their corporate imperialism alone, but the fact that they make lousy coffee only reinforces my conviction. And, yes, it is burnt! They obviously don't know how to roast their beans (from a man who buys green beans and roasts them at home - it's simple!). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
