Pretty much. I had only heard of Starbucks until I moved to southern California. You can't throw a rock down there without hitting one.

Thank goodness I am back in the bay. I missed Peet's coffee, and not having to drive someplace just to get a cup. Or do anything for that matter.

There're several Peet's locations in SoCal.

Haven't they already closed a *$ in Napa? I thought that there used to be three on Trancas, now only two.:cry

Not that I'm aware of, there is the one next to Lucky's, the one in Safeway and then the one by Nob Hill. Plus cross the tracks and theres the Redwood Plaza Bux. We still have 7 poser spots. :laughing

Ya know what?

I missed out on the whole latte VS cappucino VS Americano debate... guess it was because I was out RIDING last night. Imagine that...

And for the record, REAL women do multiple Espresso shots at a drive-thru espresso kiosk. Straight. Back to back. And then get back on the road. Too much pavement, not enough daylight to f*** around posing...

Their coffee blows. If you really are a coffee officianado, you drink PEETS. If you think the swill at Starbucks is "good" coffee, then you need to take your uneducated palate over to PEETS post haste.

I inquired at a large and popular *$ shack about their bean handling procedures. They said that they receive infrequent large shipments of roasted beans from a large centralized warehouse. "But don't worry, they're shipped in special packaging and are fresh and excellent."

Right. It's a nasty and rancid excuse for coffee, but considering the customer is mostly looking for sugar and dairy fat, the additional splash of brown water is of little consequence either way.

Peet's is incomparably better than $*. But they do roast rather dark, and this does not sit well with some people, which is fine - chacun a son gout (French saying: everyone is getting gout sooner or later). I personally like Peet's enough to use them all the time for convenience, though there are a bunch of higher-end bean suppliers on the net (and one in Oakland, I think it was).

Coffee generally reaches the peak of flavor 24-72 hours after roasting, depending on beans, roast, etc, and will taste like rancid ass in three weeks time.

Overcome with morbid curiosity, I bought some "premium Sumatra" beans at Safeway, which they claimed were roasted a day or two ago. Pulled a long double americano, which is my standard fare -- it had no crema and tasted like fiberboard with a touch of styrofoam. In other words, neither fresh nor premium, and the only reason they called it Sumatra was that a water-logged container of the stuff must have washed ashore there before they repackaged it.

In conclusion, I realize that ranting about coffee is gay, and that by all rights I should be typing this from the seat of a lovingly waxed Ducati on an Apple product of some kind. Let me assure you, gentle reader, that at least of these last transgressions I am not guilty.

If they could just make caffeinated milk, I'd probably try it.
