I’m going to be absolutely honest: I’ve never tried a cup of coffee by Starbucks Coffee. The main reason, because I’m Colombian; I’ve been raised since cradle enjoying the magnificent aroma from coffee beans let under the sky to dry. I have drunk the ‘the best coffee’ of the world (that’s what they tell us down there on television) all my life; and, indeed, now that I am out of my country, I really miss a good coffee house that offers espresso coffee and not ‘coffe express’ (‘speedy coffee’), which has no taste at all...
As a matter of fact, for me is a little disgusting. I like to chew the coffee bean when I find one, to identify the quality of the grain. What I have been trying to say, is that, despite all the best that is say about the Starbucks coffee, I really thought – until recently! - that for a Colombian to go into a coffee house...
Well, I don’t know... I thought there couldn’t be a Colombian-like tasty coffee in Buenos Aires. I had heard that Starbuck’s Coffee was in the city of the big Carlos Gardel since 2007, but since I was so disappointed from the coffee’s bad quality and from the coffee shops in Buenos Aires - that swear to have the best and just offer the poorest – I wasn’t in the mood at all to ever go to Starbuck’s. But some days ago a friend showed me that they don’t just have pretty nice coffee mugs, but as well a very tasteful warm coffee that fills them...
I’m going to be absolutely honest: for a Colombian, is a quite expensive place to go drinking a coffee...
