I love coffee from fresh roasted nano and micro batch coffee beans, but that is not practical when travelling so it goes down from that to specific mom and pop boutique shops to bringing your own beans and grinder for in-room french press, individual drip or sock method coffee. If I have time, I do try to look for siphon coffee and such when in places that offer them

While Starbucks in not in any way near the top of the list it is still a million times better than diner coffee, gas station coffee and donut chain coffee simply because it is reliable.
