Beware that the roasts that are typically used for espresso and derivatives is very different from that in Europe, and I'd say from what I had in Sidney (although, probably to a lesser extent).
what specifically is different and where? there are many roasts available, but you may have to look for them; at Happy Coffee, down the block from me, they are quite epicurean and like tangy lighter roasts for espresso, which i find interesting but not my everyday taste; more traditional (in US) is a fairly dark roast, but maybe of a medium-bodied bean; for years i've been trying different things a bag at a time; in an Aeropress i think i'm settling on a robust bean at a medium roast
I do not patronize Starbucks, unless it's a matter of survival (e.g. need a pastry in lieu of breakfast at a scientific conference, and there is nothing else at the convention center). One reason is the quality of coffee, but a more significant reason is their predatory practices.
