    Agreed Snaw !

    The coffee I tasted in the US came in 2 types :

    1. Watery thin liquid, with just a hint of brown (a bit like diarrohea) and tasted like flavoured water.

    2. Thick, syrupy sludge that has been sitting in a coffee pot for 4 hours and you needed a knife and fork to eat it with.

    In both case, the products were expensive.

    Notice a common denominator here ?

    However, it should be noted that coffee is a "cultured drink" and as such, the US haven't got a hope in hell of serving it properly.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      Here's one posted by another user.

      Starbucks should provide "coffee kisses" to plug the drink hole in the their cups.

      It keeps the drinks from spilling in the car and also keeps my drinks hotter.

      I ordered my own from coffeekisses.com but I think Starbucks should provide them the same as they do their hot sleeves.
      Yes, encouraging people to travel with a scalding hot liquid in their car is an idea borne of genius.

      I'm going in.

          Their idea of a curry is about the same.
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
