simply morning coffee made at home the way you like it.

The very best thing. Not too hot, not too cold, plenty of milk or cream and very very strong
Microwave ovens only cost $50.

They're generally a bit heavy in your luggage though

very very strong

This is not for me anymore. I only take the one with 50% Caffeine.

Coffee has gone up in price recently, but is now getting cheaper again.

I bet Starbucks won't drop their prices.

No, they won't...unless people stop going to them.

People should be a bit more adventurous and not oook for identikit cafes.

Starbucks is overpriced and nothing special.

In Poland there's Green Coffee (who bought Cafe Nero). They're still a chain but a better quality one.

So is McDonald's, and yet both companies are successful.

McDonald's

Very hard to know why. One thing see in Poland is that the customers always clear the trays into those bins. Why? It's as if they're in awe of it somehow, it's just a nasty hamburger chain and by clearing up, they're letting them get away with fewer staff. One nice thing in the U.K. is that McDonalds aren't doing well there with sites closing and rivals opening instead.

both companies

Starbucks have very low commercial ethics and often try to prevent competitors opening near them. When there is competition, they don't do well.

I like the old Turkish style coffee in Poland. Just pour hot water on your ground coffee and there you go. Nothing beats that. Starbucks is the McDonald's of coffee at a premium price.

It is best if the coffee is finely ground.

For coffee machines that use filters, the coffee must be coarsely ground so as not to clog the paper filters.
