Those of you who know me can confirm I'm a big coffee fan. However, often I get confused with a "Starbucks fan," which is not necessarily the case. Starbucks coffee is all right. Not the best coffee in the world, but at least you know what you're going to get, whether you're in Vienna, Barcelona, or Seattle. The best coffee, however, is found in the little private places that you find all over Europe and even in the U.S. where they are very picky about where they get their coffee, and often roast their own beans. Having said that, after visiting Caribou Coffee in Chicago this last summer (infamous amongst mid-westerners), I personally think it's near the very top of the list.
The number of Starbucks in London, however, comes across to me as a little obnoxious. Check out this blog post and this article for a little taster of what I mean, if you've never been to London. Even in Cologne, Germany there are at least two Starbucks, though the coffee was comparably better everywhere else that I got it there last week. I must admit, I'm beginning to find the Starbucks mania a bit burdensome. Kinda like a pop tune that gets way over-played on the radio.

Jon! You're comin' on here too now, huh? Awesome!
Brandork, it's good that you're not fixated with Starbucks - Havin' a range of coffee bean boiled drinks from different parts of the world helps to enrich one's diet and also increases heart rate to a healthy level!
(By that, I mean the heart will beat so fast that it'll pump enough blood in a day to circulate the lives of 20 professional weightlifters for a week...)
