And I agree with the first commenter. Starbucks has lost most of that traditional, homey feel of a coffee place and has become more commercialized.

See, *$'s is having a very hard time competing now that they've lost a few key aspects to great coffee. One - they can't produce the great quality that many micro roasters can. Two - they have lost the traditional feel of a coffee house through migrating from true espresso machines over to simple push button machines.....hardly the feel of a great espresso! They may comeback---only time will tell! Har, har!!!
