hey, now... Certainly Starbucks(tm) tastes a lot like charcoal-except, maybe, with a bit of quinine added, and, most "Standing" coffee (like at auto-repair shops, etc.) tastes similar (though not as strong), but that's because it's <I>burnt</I>. Properly made coffee doesn't taste like charcoal-it tastes like "Coffee smell", and that's with no additives. Of course, <I>very</I> few people can make it properly-and certainly none of those idiots at Starbucks(tm) can make it properly. Tea, on the other hand, is usually made "too weak" for my tastes as well... Maybe it <I>is</I> caffeine addiction?<P> Then again, I understand the stuff's not for everyone-and it shouldn't be, could you imagine what the world would be like if everyone liked the same stuff? We'd all be reading "Garfield" and thinking the recycled jokes are still funny...<P>------------------
