I am not a big fan of coffee, but I have been trying new things, like trying different types of coffee other than *bucks or TRYING to like wine. Anyway, I usually get my sugar and caffeine fix from *bucks once a month because it's the only place I know and it's everywhere.\n\nOnce I had John's coffee, I had a wake up call. I realized that I absolutley hate corporate chain coffee shops. The espresso was perfect. It had right amount of bitterness, it was fresh and the aroma was heavenly.
