What coffeehouse has the best coffee?
DAVID, ATLANTA:
Aurora. The blend is deeper and richer. When you go to the others, the coffee is so cranked out. It's such mass quantity the coffee gets lost. At Aurora it's smaller, quaint, catering to a more contained number where you can really work the coffee thing. The others it's "next, next, next." Each cup of coffee is different from the next. Just depends on the day, the person who's making it. Aurora is kind of a little bit more pricey but you pay for what you get, but not significantly. San Francisco's coffee is the next best. I drink four to five cups a day.
DIANE, ATLANTA:
Caribou. It's a good blend of beans and always good fresh coffee. Always kept fresh and made fresh. They have a timer on it, they set it, and they make sure it doesn't get old. Aurora's coffee is so strong it almost tastes old. At Caribou they don't let their beans get too old, they grind it to a pot, they make it at the right temperature where some of the others take it out and put it into these pump things that keep it warm and it tastes like plastic, like San Francisco's, or very old and very flat like Starbucks. I drink five or six cups a day.
JEREMY, ATLANTA:
Starbucks. The problem with coffee is that it always smells better than it tastes. Then you have a cup and it's something of a letdown. Starbucks comes closer to tasting like that great coffee smell than the others. It's that full rich flavor, smooth. At Caribou and Aurora, it tastes too burnt and it's too overprocessed. In the processing of the beans, they burn it too much. Starbucks has that bean processing down. The coffee at San Francisco is too watered down. I drink two to three cups a day. u??
