I don't know who Starbuck was But Tim Horton was my childhood hero. He had the hardest shot in the NHL when the Leafs were a real hockey team. Too bad that he's now known for hardest doughnuts instead. ( my spellcheck prefers "donuts".) I can't pass judgment on the coffee as I don't drink the stuff. It raises hell with my beer taste "buds". I.E. after a coffee they are burnt so that a BUD seems to have taste.
