Getting starbucks quality at home

[corbypete]

What equipement do I need to get a really goo d cup at home. I don't care for esspresso, just good old fashioned black.

I just want it to taste like every coffee shop I go into, struggle to replicate that at home with standard kit. What makes them so special, is it the bean grinding machine as the coffee is made?

I'm thinking about getting a better grinder, bigger one that makes less mess.

buy a french press or one of bodums new vaccum brewers. The vaccum makes the same quality as a french press only you do not need to heat the water seperately...good luck :wink:
