If it doesn’t taste like Starbucks…

Starbucks founder, Howard Schulz, is the hero of a story in today’s Business Week magazine (I read the electronic edition; the linked version may not last) which tells the story of how he is “saving Starbuck’s soul” and planning to make the company three times bigger.
Which reminded me:
Last year I sent this delightful article to the Tsarina who sometimes brings me coffee in bed (I was in another time zone). As sometimes happens, the comments are are good as the story.
She replied
Oh - I cannot agree more! [Tsarevna] and her peers have just discovered Starbucks and Pret-a-manger as must-have accessories to Year 11, especially as they are allowed out from school at lunchtime this year. She goes on and on about these ghastly drinks but a few days ago having proudly turned down ice cream in favour of cappucino in the [Italian] restaurant, she rejected it with disgust saying it tasted too much of coffee! I did laugh.
