Re: Starbucks is Finally Coming to the Kingdom of Cambodia!
They pretty much stole what Peet's on Vine in Berkeley was doing and brought it to Seattle. They bought their beans from Peet for awhile. Then one of the owners of Starbucks bought Peet's when they only had 4 stores, sold his Starbucks shares, and had a non-compete in the Bay Area with Starbucks for like 5 years. The original Peet's was the 1st place that I tasted decent coffee that didn't necessarily come out of an espresso machine back in the middle 70s as I lived nearby. Peet's is a little better than Starbucks IMO.frank lee bent wrote:they started out as roaster disciples of peet's in SF.
always burnt to cut through the milk that ppl insist on ruining good coffee with.
a little beyond first crack is all it needs- never 2nd crack.
the cafe operation came much later with the company against stiff resistance of the board.
they came around when one of the partners went solo with enormous success.
cambodia coffee culture is exploding, and good beans here too.
starbucks could be a boon to local growers of they work the corporate responsibility angle.

Re: Starbucks is Finally Coming to the Kingdom of Cambodia!
exactly
old peet was a man of strong opinions by report.
a cranky old cuss.
strange, USA had great coffee until the mid 60's, maxwell house et al took it all downhill in commoditising it at the expense of quality.
it is a serious business now worldwide and the quality can be found.

Spinelli's started in SF too in the early 80s. I knew the owner Arnold Spinelli pretty well socially. I've never been to the PP store. Is it any good ?

now wine i can do!wackyjacky wrote:^^^^^ There's always decaf. Perhaps they'll turn it into a Wine Bar at night and you can avoid the "palpitations". Here's a review of one. It looks like they need some help with the food: http://vinepair.com/wine-blog/trying-st ... liamsburg/
