Burnt Coffee and Burnt CDs

senzafine writes "Cnet reports that HP and Starbucks are jointly working on Storefront Coffeeshops which will allow people to browse and listen to music from a digital library...and have selected songs burned to cd. Sounds really cool...wonder how long before Starbucks and HP get John Doe lawsuits in the mail. --- But does this seem like an idea that would work?"

With the exception of New York, US coffee blows. (Disclaimer... I've never been to Chicago). I don't know how you guys tolerate the stuff. Actually, I do.. you fill it up with Vanilla, Hazelnut or Cherry flavourings to hide the taste of the coffee itself.

Some of the best coffee in the world is in Melbourne, Australia. This is because the is a huge population decended from Italians, Greeks,Turks and Arabs... all cultures that understand coffee.

I was with a US delegate in a "Mum and Pop" corner store (in Melbourne) who just happened to sell coffee.. and they had 4 blends plus decaf. Note, I don't mean 4 types of coffee with flavours, I mean four bean blends which they could prepare in any one of half a dozen or so ways.

Note that UK coffee blows too... but the Poms know it and they all drink tea.

Irish coffee is also disgusting, which is why they all drink beer.

The most depressing is that chilean coffee is shite, and here we are so close to Brazil. The only way to see coffee her is to sell is by employing girls in bikinis who take their tops off and jiggle every hour ("El minuto feliz"... The happy minute).
