I can count on like 3 places that are really out of my way to make a decent cup of jo. Everyone else sells dishwater.

Just disappointed. And annoyed because it's so bad I'm going to have to start carrying a thermos or something around, or drink tea.

    A majority of coffee shops burn the coffee, I've found. Now I just make it myself. Granted, I drink the "froofy" espresso drinks, not drip coffee, but everybody screws it up.

    I'm one of those wusses that drinks light roast.
    I really like Starbucks Blonde roast.
    But 90% of the time I just use my trusty Keurig.

    Glad I live in Melbourne, lots of great coffee places here, probably due to the "cafe culture".

    Yeah, and I don't get why! ALL THEY DO is make and serve coffee! Why not take pride in it?

    I'm not a snob - I like perc, and at home I use my grocery store's own brand. (I do drink a special Greek/Turkish coffee half the time, though).

    All it takes is paying attention to proportions, and serving fresh stuff.
