I don't really know anything about coffee, I just kinda drink what I can get that tastes good and isn't $4+. But I have to say, Bender's points make a lot of sense to me, just based on the way I perceive the taste of starbucks. It's very "over roasted" tasting, or as I like to say, burnt. I always figured they made it that way so people would feel like hardcore coffee enthusiasts, like "I love coffee so much, I can drink the REALLY STRONG tasting stuff" when in reality it tastes like piss. I love espresso as I've mentioned a few times in this thread, and it's obviously way stronger than starbucks coffe, but it doesn't have that nasty, burnt up toast taste. DD doesn't have that taste either, which is the only reason I say it's better. Perhaps it's also a little cheaper, but DD is pretty darn expensive, hash browns, a sandwich and an iced coffee is like $7+
