Starbuck's is far from the best coffee available....
Consumer reports did a test on the best coffee, using a Columbian brew as a control. They say that they noticed that some of the best coffees are considerably cheaper than the 'gourmet' cafes like Gloria jean's and Starbucks. For the record, I have said for years that Starbucks is the worst coffe on the commercial market. I'd take BK coffee over theirs, anyday. And who has the best in my opinion? Lavazza. They have three Chicago locations, check them out!
Consumer reports voted 8 o'clock Columbian roast as the best...
