What a depressing situation! Of course it's all down to personal taste, but if you are going to drink coffee from a chain cafe, Caffe Nero is about as good as you're going to find, and even that is far from perfection. If you're looking for the most sublime cappuccino known to womankind, pay a visit to Monmouth Coffee Co., round the corner from Borough Market, London (and in Covent Garden, I believe) and you will find it impossible to purchase a shit coffee from Starbucks ever again. Better still, purchase Monmouth's espresso blend (available online, thank goodness)and arm yourself with an espresso machine at home. You'll be drinking some of the best coffee it's possible to drink and saving yourself a small fortune in the process. Finding myself stuck in South Wales due to my partner's job, this is my main consolation and defence again the Segaffredo crap all the cafes so mindlessly serve around here. Hell, WITN, you think Northumberland is bad - try South Wales! I'll swap you for Northumberland any day!!StuckinSouthWaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04641160295927481610noreply@blogger.com
