It is their proud aim to be able to stand at the doorway of any branch and be able to see the NEXT starbucks from that reccy point
Well, the US loves their coffee as well, so don't be a snob. And that "stuff " you speak of is just the best the planet has to offer, so yea, deal with it! And Fance isn't even worth mentioning anymore.urmaniac13 said:Well I can rest assured pretty much they will never dominate Italy... Italians love their coffees and they would never accept that stuff I am fairly sure!
Probably the same goes with France and their people too

If it's good then the US has it. For instance, pizza used to belong to Italy but now we own it, French fries are now freedom fries and we bought Chicken Kiev during the chernobyl disaster.urmaniac13 said:Excuse me if I appeared to you as being a snob, I just wanted to express the passion the Italian people have for coffees.
As for what is the best on the planet, it depends on the opinion of the individual, maybe to you it is the Starbucks products, if so, that is accepted, however the same point of view may not apply to the whole population of the planet earth.

And for anyone who thinks black coffee is the connoisseurs choice needs their head examined. I've heard this and from my sister all my life and it's unadulterated nonsense!
I knew I would pay for that, but I'm not very politically correct, in fact I'm often quite stupid.Ishbel said:Politeness costs nothing. As for your comments re France and Italy. Have you visited EITHER place?
