Is this part of the reaction to the Starbucks domination of the coffee market? (Mind you, there are plenty of other chains out there doing down the independent, e.g. Costa, Coffee Republic, etc.) When I was in Ireland the other week there was a free coffee day in Dublin by independents to protest at the ridiculous number of Starbucks in the city. Apparently it is now up to fifty in a city with a population of just over one million! Support your local coffee shop and banish that double-decaf, skinny Americano/Frappuccino/Whatever bull

back where it came from! A good coffe shop offers you a choice of beans, not all that crap.
Stand up for real coffee!
