Starbucks produces espresso drinks in an automated way.  It guarantees

Granted, their "coffeehouse experience" is pretty high, what with the decor
and all.  But experiencing their espresso suffers greatly. Espresso is
defined by the presence of crema, and Starbucks generally cremaless brew
makes it a D. Can't be a C, since that grade is the norm, and crema is the
norm for espresso.

I agree Dan.

with all due respect to schoenholt, bernie,

his statements about shultz INVENTING coffee and sbux being a "B+"
are laughable. Maybe his last visit was 10 years ago, before the
standards eroded even further)

I am certain he is just providing dead-pan humor via sarcasm.

which is of course, always welcome!
and I KNOW who he is. A bio. is not needed. I just take issue with
the b.s.
