Best coffe come from Europe. After all these years I still buy German Gala Coffee, roasted exactly the way it was meant to be. Austrian and Polish roasts ar good too. After all, it all really took off after the Siege of Vienna when Poles got hold of large quantities of Turkish coffee.

As for Starbucks, they sell some kind of stuff in various flavors, and they add coffee to it :)

and they a=are the most popular coffea house in the world !!!

thats cos they have lots of money to expand all over the world by overcharging for their products. Imo they are the devils spawn and are a threat to the real coffee shops, i.e. local ones. If there are no Starbucks in Poland, you should be happy.

Yes i can believe that. Just shows you their customers don't have good taste and don't know what real coffee tastes like !

And also is a good lesson in demonstrating how expensive & clever marketing and advertising can brainwash the masses into believeing the stuff Starbucks serves up is 'good , tasty coffee' <vbg>

I generally find the coffee very good in Poland. In Ireland, we tend to have more sandwich bars than coffee houses. In poland, you get genuine coffee houses with relaxing atmosphere and surroundings. Starbucks recently came to Dublin but I wouldnt rate them very highly. I prefer original, one of a kind cafes. But if I had to pick a chain in Poland, I would choose Coffee Heaven. Coffee is always good, nice bright style and friendly staff. Sometimes, in Poland, you can come across small cake shops that can also have really nice coffee in some cases.

Agreed - I take my coffee seriously - and Starbucks, naah. Can't beat a good small cafe. I Nero in the UK (haven't seen them in Ireland) is good.

Has anyone ever tried Kopi Luwak coffee?

They don't serve in Starbucks, but it's interesting stuff.

Starbucks is coffee for the rich , but they do have some tasty whole beans to but. All of those designer drinks are a waste of money IMO

Surely most people pick their coffee shop based on location / ambience etc rather than the brand? While I'd rather support a small independent rather than some mega corporation, if there's a Starbucks that does good coffee (and they very from shop to shop, don't they?) and is there when I need it, then Stabucks it is.

BTW, I don't recall seeing a Starbucks anywhere that I've been in Poland.

Maybe I could shed some light on why in Starbucks seems to be everywhere in the Uk and have as yet not overrun Poland. When the coffee scene took off in the Uk Starbucks operated a policy of "clustering". What this means is that they placed lots of Starbucks in one area so as to drive out the competition. If I remember correctly there is a book by a Canadian academic called "No Logo" and this book illustrates exactly how Starbucks operates. The reason I'm using the Uk as my example is I've not been to th States though I assume it is the same there.
I would have thought Starbucks would appeal to the young and well of, thus only the major cities would be able to support such an establishment.

My first coffee experience was appalling my girlfriend was shopping in our local town, it was winter and I was freezing so I headed to the only establishment which I could see served coffee. The coffee was served boiling hot in a glass, with no handle. The result was I couldn't even pick up the damn cup for about 10 minutes. When eventually I did the experienc was less than pleasant especially since the coffee grains remained in the glass. When I met up wit my girlfriend and related the experience, she couldn't stop laughing as I had been sitting in the equivelant of a soup-kitchen for the very poor and homeless. duh!!!
