At a lot of them you need to stay "for here" because such a large
percentage of their business is to go even at their walk up counter.

If you got the drip coffee at a Starbucks you didn't get their main
product. Sort of like going to a McDonalds and ordering the chicken
sandwich. There drip is unimpressive.
Folks who like bitter like their esspresso very much. I bet you have a
stronger than average dislike of bitter so the slightly darker roast
they use in their esspresso tastes burned to me. I have a stronger
than average like of bitter so the slightly darker roast they use in
their esspresso tastes good to me. It does make their esspresso drinks
not last though. Within an hour they have lost most of their appeal.
My brother says that one day the folks at the original Starbucks burnt
their coffee and then were surprised that it sold well. The rest is
history. My brother has a stronger than average dislike of bitter.
