Heh, I read that very same chapter from that very same book last night. What a coincidence! It sounds like the author of this article isn't interested in specialty coffee. If they're regularly going to Dunkin or Starbucks -- and particularly if they prefer the donut shop blend that Dunkin serves -- then the highbrow "tasting note" styled coffee probably isn't to their taste. Folks have to figure out a price:performance ratio they're comfortable with, and the author just isn't interested in shelling out for high quality coffee. They're satisfied with something simpler. But just because that style of coffee isn't the author's favorite is no reason to hate on the coffee industry as a whole. Best of Jimseven really opened my eyes to just how much the specialty coffee industry has evolved and improved over the past decade. It would probably be a good read for the author of this article!
