America or more accurately Kona make some of the best coffee in the world. Problem is that the French judge America by the way StarBucks incinerates its coffee. Although I admire the way StarBucks is run and like Mickey Dees their product is consistent from one location to the other. But calling their product coffee is like saying Nescafe ( instant shit) is coffee. If all you drink is instant crap your opinion is invalid. Coffee as most experts would agree is slightly sweet not the burnt crap you get at SBs.
The taste of coffee is mostly effected buy the way its roasted, one minute too long and its fucked.
If you really want a great cuppa Joe get yourself a cheap $50.00 French press ( yes they did invent this ) a couple of scoops of freshly ground beans pour on boiling water and after 3 minutes push the plunger and vola you have a great cuppa joe.
Oh and fuck the French, arrogant, cowardly, bastards
