Sorry, but Edmund Blackadder was anticipating Starbucks during the Regency, and already had them pinged.

"A cup of your best hot water with brown grit in it -- unless, of course,  by some miracle, your coffee shop has started selling coffee."

Ah, the eminently brilliant Blackadder!

Prior to Starbucks, we used to buy expresso coffee in the can from an Italian place and use it in a drip filter. I appreciate that Starbucks brought the first functional coffee cup lid to the market. I used to drink their stuff, but my stomach won’t handle much of it now, hence the reason I go to Tim’s, their coffee is not the best, but it’s easy on the stomach and on the pocketbook. Keeping to a coffee/lunch budget in downtown Vancouver is not easy.
