Hah! You don't drink coffee in the US. It is some kind of slightly
flavoured brown liquid. I guess that the coffee-trick only works
because
of all the Cl added to your water. "Coffee" was a bad experience I
had
in the USA.

Wander on over to alt.coffee and say that you think that $tarbuck$ makes
great coffee.
Then duck and run - FAST!
The only reason that the chain coffee shops make it at all is due to the
fact that the big coffee suppliers made the decision long ago that they
could foist absolute crap on the North American public counting on consumer
ignorance.
I used to be one of those 'ignorant' until I travelled to Costa Rica and
learned what a wonderful beverage coffee could be.
I now home-roast my own. World of difference.

The local 7-11 has better coffee than any Starbuck's I've been in.
Though maybe the suave & hip decor in Starbucks makes people think their
stuff tastes better.

Starbucks coffee is just like the women that hang out there- weak and
bitter.

Are you referring to the patina?

Steve



There's a clearly visible difference between patina and the layer of
"coffee scrunge" that builds up in a "continuous duty" coffee cup, or on
the inside of a coffee maker. There's NO mistaking them for each other
once you've seen them side by side!



Sorry, I forgot to mention I was making a joke... Isn't email great?

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

Patina is one thing, but this had texture, erosion features, and
various other geological topography.

I had to muck it out just to restore capacity ...

Chlorine (and fluoride in some areas) are the secret ingredients!
