Here' some recent hot news from Consumer Reports:
"Starbucks Takes Another Hit
Remember when Starbucks seemed like an unstoppable force? Those days are gone, kids. The troubled retailer, already suffering from falling profits and a slew of layoffs, was dissed in a recent coffee study from Consumer Reports. The ad-free mag ranked Eight O'Clock Coffee as the best-tasting coffee and noted that Starbucks, which costs considerably more, didn't even merit an honorable mention. Searches on "eight o' clock coffee" and "buy cheap coffee" made jittery jumps."
I am curious to hear about who was on the cupping panel and to what merit they had to decide this. I'm interested because this is a very SUBJECTIVE matter, as far as taste goes.
