Whoa! Subjective, indeed.

I'll take Starbucks espresso any day over Peet's.

Peet's espresso to my unsophisticated palate seems like they first burned the beans with kerosene, then ground in some dirt and brewed it with pee of Satan after a helping of asparagus.

I do agree with Torrefazione Italia, they were great!
