*luffs her French press* eek
I don't like Starbucks, I prefer Peet's Coffee. It's stronger and I think the flavors are more complex than what I've tried from Starbucks. Boyfriend and I typically buy about half a pound, ground for FP, of whatever sounds good at the time, but we tend to get stuff from Costa Rica a lot. There's one coffee brand that I encountered in Napa that was far superior to even Peet's, but the name escapes me right now. I think they have a website, so I'll post it here when I find out.
I learned recently that French Roast can come from Colombia, and was even voted as the best by French people. Hmm. Also, Colombian coffee is mostly (if not all) organic. I think I might try their French roast next. One of my professors is Colombian (where I learned all this from) so I'll ask him what brand he prefers.
wikipedia Coffee consumption has been shown to have minimal or no impact, positive or negative, on cancer development;[72] however, researchers involved in an ongoing 22-year study by the Harvard School of Public Health state that "the overall balance of risks and benefits [of coffee consumption] are on the side of benefits."[72] Various other studies have shown apparent reductions in the risks of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, cirrhosis of the liver,[73] and gout. A longitudinal study in 2009 showed that moderate drinkers of coffee (3-5 cups per day) had lower chances of developing dementia, in addition to Alzheimer's disease [74]. It increases the risk of acid reflux and associated diseases.[75] Some health effects of coffee are due to its caffeine content, as the benefits are only observed in those who drink caffeinated coffee while others appear to be due to other components.[76] For example, the antioxidants in coffee prevent free radicals from causing cell damage.[77]
It's good for ya! heart

Celeblin Galadeneryn Collowrath Starbucks coffee is only good if it has s**t in it. If it doesn't, to me it tastes like any other American coffee - might as well be bitter, weak tea. That said, I like very dark European roasts and very finely ground Balkan/Turkish style preparations. The only Turkish I've had tasted like mud, but the quality was dubious. I'm sure I could find some I like, especially since I brew coffee at about three times the strength, the darker the roast the better. But yeah, Starbucks generally means it's coming with cream and flavours.
Turkish coffee is best if you brew it with some sugar. It should be thick, there should be dust at the bottom. The consistency should be more like hot chocolate than mud though.

Aino Ailill Collowrath Aino Ailill Joe Mugs, the coffee shop in Barns n Nobles, has rather good coffee. The Barnes and Noble stores here have ******** in them. Ah, I had it mixed up. It's Books-a-Million.

The Starbucks stores in Barnes & Noble charge 30 cents more for a cup that is much smaller. sad
