Thank Bast there isn't a Starbuck's here! I finally broke down and bought a
cup when I was moving. I've never tasted such bad coffee. Who cares if you
can bring your own mug? It tastes like they burned the beans. It's just
gawd awful. I like my coffee black and strong but definitely not like the
crap they're selling for $5 a cup.
