Existing Bookstores Should Become Front-ends for Amazon

People tend to love Starbucks despite their coffee tasting like it was
brewed for three weeks in the center of the sun.

Most mask this reality by ordering a coffee beverage instead of
coffee, or by disguising the taste with biblical amounts of additives. But
anyone who prepares Starbucks beans at home knows that the coffee itself
isn’t the problem—it’s the brewing and serving that’s the issue.

Happily, there’s a solution: ask for a pour-over.

The pour-over method is a technique normally employed by much higher-end
coffee shops, and it yields you a custom cup of
coffee
that isn’t scalded from hours of overbrewing.

It takes longer (approximately five minutes), but the result is a remarkably
good cup of coffee from Starbucks. As a bonus, doing this also allows you to
try beans other than whatever they have brewed at the time, and it doesn’t
even cost more than a regular pour.

Give it a go next time you’re in. It’ll be nice to add “coffee” to the list
of things Starbucks does well.

[ Note: for best results, I recommend getting the blonde roast. Even when
made custom many of the darker roasts still taste a bit scalded. ]
