Uy! What brand did you get? Also, did you get the steam type or the water pressure type?

Anyway, I also prefer to make my own coffee. StarBucks is good...provided you're lucky enough to encounter a barista who knows how to properly pull espresso. Kadalasan, masama yung pagka-tamp ng espresso grinds, which in turn results into unevenly extracted coffee (some parts will be over extracted, some under extracted). This in turn produces that burnt bitter taste which leaves a lingering panis-na-laway aftertaste in your mouth.

Unless you order pure unadulterated, untampered espresso, you probably won't notice that taste since it will be masked by all that milk, caramel syrup, choco syrup, sugar, and whipped cream. :D

I still visit StarBucks (and similar shops..figaro, sanfo coffee, etc) though if I need an non-drip brewed coffee fix.
