    Peet's is better. Alfred Peet trained the guys who started Starbucks on how to roast coffee back in the 70's. Too bad they have forgotten everything they learned.

    The Peet's employees all seem more serious and career-oriented. Totes into their jobs. Or perhaps they are all grad schoolers. Starbucks feels more like teens flipping burgers to me.

    @dado: A macchiato in the original Italian sense is delightful. The American version may as well be an ice cream sundae and as such is not even recognisable as a cup of coffee.

    Peet's is so much better and to your point @iplaudius, Starbucks had a predatory expansion program that bought up and killed great local roasters like Coffee Connection in Boston and Pasqua.

    Team Peets over 'Bucks and the Ethiopian dudes on the corner over Peets. McDonald's does not ever get my money, I don't care how good their coffee slurpees appear to be.

    Peet’s may be the best major chain, but, the thing is, none of the big chains can get the coffee from the roaster to the store as quickly as a local roaster-coffeehouse can do. Some day, I hope, the chains will find a way to serve coffee brewed within 24 hours of roasting.

    @iplaudius: I thought it was generally best between 24 and 72 hours after roasting. Within 24 hours would be too soon.

    Peets is much better. Also, I'm talking about the whole bean coffee, as I can't stand the way either of them brew it.


    Starbucks never cleans their equipment, so you are drinking years worth of accumulated oils.


    Peets brews theirs a little too strongly for my taste, but I'll go there in a pinch if I am out of town.

    It is better. It's the brewed coffee that they have a Gourmet Garage. I love the Sumatra variety.

    "My grandmother would have been shocked and appalled to see someone who makes so much save so little." Maybe I am feeling Machiavellian today, but I would push his grandmother down a flight of stars for that bank balance.

    Let's recap the Republican arguments above. Rush: Obama's a racist. Ok. Ann: Let's vote for her because the Senate's confirmation powers are nothing next to the President's appointment powers, but then let's run against her in 2012 even though we voted to confirm her. Wha? And Gonzales just doesn't want to piss off any judges right about now.

    Sotomayor grew up in a Bronx housing project, was Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude from Princeton (where abortion-hating Samuel A. Alito also went undergrad), and was an editor of the Yale Law Journal.


    The notion that she is some kind of law-talkin' Rosie Perez who was dragged through Princeton, Yale, the New York D.A.'s office and the Second Circuit by affirmative action is just fucking stupid.


    I watched a YouTube clip of John Yoo debating Kathleen Sullivan on William Rehnquist's "legacy" a couple of days ago, and if anyone should be worried about a lack of intellectual firepower, it's he.

    @lawyergay: Nope, I don't believe it. There is no way that a person with both a vagina and brown skin can possible be qualified. All that "Princeton" crap is just a liberal cover-up for white guilt.


    Is it bad that I was kind of hoping she was a law-talkin' Rosie Perez? Imagine what a great Lifetime movie it would make!
