Actually, as I understand it, per serving, American drip coffee has the most caffine of the caffinated world, then espresso.

That scary squirrel world bit was fooking great! Starbucks has become more of a branding issue than it ever has been about coffee. IMNSHO, Starbucks burns the crap out of their bean; it may be a trade mark taste for them, but I think it tastes like ass.

If you are ever in the Seattle area and want to have a genuinely well made coffee, check out Cafe Vita or Cafe Vivace, both small, independent roasters with outstanding quality control. The stuff is great. You might, however, have to stand in line with some dude that looks like a girl or a girl that looks like a boy reading Vonnegut (God rest his soul).
