    I'm sure this has been done to death, however...
    Sitting here in the airport with my Starbucks americano, this has got to be one of the least pleasant cups of coffee I've had in quite some time, exceedingly bitter, roasted to oblivion, intestine twisting, served at boiling point, acidic, acrid, burnt almost... Just a bad coffee in every sense, as soon as I smelled it my heart sank. And people queuing up to guzzle this muck!

    Is this the norm?

    Yes.

    You know it ain't a good sign when a coffee chain stop putting their name on new stores in case it turns away punters.

    They queue up to guzzle the sugary syrupy confections they churn out that aren't worthy of the name "coffee". If I want actual coffee I'd never go to Starbucks. It's really not good.

    I had more pleasant memories of the starbucks outlets in NYC but that was years ago and most likely down to my poor appreciation of coffee at the time. As for here; bleurgh, awful stuff.

    I find it as bad, if not worse, in NYC. The filter coffee – bleugh.
