Have you tried the Laos mountain coffee?
Some people like thick and dark, other light and smooth but all of them insist and swear by the aroma of freshly brew coffee!
You know sometimes even if same product from the same factory, the coffee also taste different!
There are a lot of factors affecting it like different handling and storage which is why different Starbuck also have different taste!

only black coffee u taste different in defferent starbucks coz its different coffee beans for brew of the day.. just ask the barista what coffee is brew of the day?
unlike americano its espresso with hot water..
besides starbucks using 2 types of equipment:-
1) La marzzoco - old school coffee machine taste stronger & prefer by most barista..

2) verismo - all new sbux is using it.. taste not so strong on ur latte.. extra shot of espresso is recommended.. for tall just said to barista " would u mind to add extra shot for my latte" after u paid obviously..
