Yes we can- and we are. We started with Starbucks for a number of reasons, but I can't wait to get Peets in there. Hell, I'd really love to get some good indie

Yes we can- and we are. We started with Starbucks for a number of reasons, but I can't wait to get Peets in there. Hell, I'd really love to get some good indie shops- but we've gotta start somewhere.

Great to hear. Thank you! I love how my real question which received and answer from the company was voted down. Sorry but Starbucks is not really good coffee. I am writing this from the Philz in Palo Alto :)

  Because you're wrong. Starbucks certainly makes 'good' coffee. Can you make better coffee? Absolutely. I'm enough of a coffee snob that I rarely get coffee while I'm out, preferring to make it at home where I can control all the variables. That being said... claiming that Starbucks isn't 'good' coffee is just hipster silliness... Yes, I realize it's mainstream now, and your fedora fits in better at Philz, but Starbucks coffee is certainly 'good' enough for millions of people every day, and it seems like an obvious first choice for an application like this.

    42, not a hipster, no Fedora (well I have a VM running it). I like my coffee in the morning, french press at home (Peet's Garuda). Peet's if I am out and about and once in a great while when I get a chance I love to make it to Philz. I have disliked Starbucks coffee before it was cool thank you very much :) The comment about Starbuck was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I guess I can see it being taken as Hipster fashion.

      Hey, can I have some of that nice coffee you're having? I live in Russia. I can send you some of Art. Lebedev's (don't know if it's any good, but they roast their own mix, so you can compare) I can PayPal you the money and you'll ship me the coffee. You can ship to my US-based P.O. box. I run Ubuntu on my laptop and CentOS on KVM CentOS VM on a server. Please drop me a line via email (in profile) or any other means (Facebook et el.) http://about.com/nleschov http://about.com/nleschov

        If you're going to have someone from the US mail you coffee, at least ask for something good, like Intelligentsia or Toby's Estate :) Peets is a huge chain that's merely less successful than Starbucks. (I like both Starbucks and Peets, FWIW, but I wouldn't pay for someone to ship those to me overseas :)

        Ah thanks. I'm not that into coffee, just wanted to try something new that someone else likes, at random. Thanks for the suggestion!
