Lidl ground expresso is much nicer than tesco's finest which is over-roasted....I make my coffee in a classic stovetop aluminium Italian espresso pot which cost 5 euros....coffee is delicious and complies with all the qualities you read about in broadsheet food supplements....i.e crema, floral bouquet....etc, etc......works better if you use a low flame and let it pass through the grinds really slowly.
Starbucks coffee doesn't taste like coffee it tastes like hot melted ice cream, most chain coffee shops are shit and none of the staff ever understand my order.
Pret a Manger has a good nicely roasted blend and because their coffee menu is much shorter than most you generlly get what you ask for and the same coffee, shop to shop..
There is no such thing as Italian coffee.
I have an official qualification in coffee....I did sit it 20 years ago now though.
