Well Americans have no fucking clue about coffee, that over-roasted almost burned Starbuck's dirt makes me want to puke.
I am glad that for once we agree on something, DK.
But the best coffee bean for espresso coffee comes from the "Cerrado" region in southeastern Brazil. All the elite Italian brands use it almost exclusively, but Starbucks doesen't use it due to it's very high cost.
