I cannot agree more. No, in fact, I agree completely <g> I subscribe to the conspiracy theory that Starbucks habituates its unwitting consumers to such horrendously bitter smoked coffee that in comparison real, well-roasted coffee seems 'weak'. Local roasters are definitely the way to go. The Santa Barbara Roasting Company does a fair job where I live, but I prefer Trader Joe's Kauai (Kona's not-so-ugly cousin) for my morning cup. badri -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
