Usually, Starbucks meets with a lot of scepticism in my books. I find that they tend to over roast their coffees. It's a technique that can hind alot blemishes in the quality of the coffee. Even their lighter coffees are would typically be more like a dark roast. But I would say that Starbucks is a pretty big step up from Tim Ho's and miles away from what 7-eleven brews. Yikes. Anyhow, I tasted this coffee a week ago and loved it. It is full bodied and complex and seems to bring out all the best parts of the latin american bean. And it's fairly traded. See what you think...

hey.
i'm drinking tim horton's coffee right now and i really really agree with you. its been a while since i've had a cup and i'm amazed at how much it tastes like chewed up foot odour with a side of greasy french fries. hmm there is also that hint of unshowered junior high boys.
i'm puking.
vicky, that is so graphic a description i don't know if i could ever even watch someone drink a tim's coffee ever again. i might have to tackle them to the ground and throw out the putrid stuff for them. unshowered junior high boys - ugh
char
very vivid description
seriously you should try this fincas stuff
it tastes like playing with a bunch of skilled musicians who make you look good :)
really? wow it i know what that tastes like and it is soooo flipping amazing. hmm. maybe i will give that stuff a try. but only becuase you compared it to an out of body experience.....
