Yeah, strangely though the island is also known for its coffee, I just never find a cafe that does it well. I sampled over dozens of them and visited some farms but nothing taste quite like Starbucks. Perhaps it's my preference because I prefer Sumatra,Colombian, Kenyan, or Brazilian coffee over Java. I rarely find any Starbuck that uses Java, Most I found use Pike Roast or Sumatra over here. I've been saving up for a proper espresso machine because what I have now are mostly drip coffee tools. I was looking into Keurig but why not save up and wait for a DeLonghi machine.

Have you ever tried any Java beans? what's your impression of them?
