Guest Commentary: As a former Starbucks whore, I recently made the switch to Peet's Coffee & Tea, I can't begin to tell you how much better their brew is. I drink straight black coffee, the price is about the same, there is no burnt roast flavor. I still stop at Starbies on the way home for an iced coffee (because I am madly in love with one of the baristas) but even that may be coming to an end, the flavor/experience cannot be compared. I highly recommend giving Peet's a try, I think you'll be surprised.
