I just joined IndiaMike and happen to see this thread.
By the way, while reading any thread 1st we do not check which year it started and does it has any expiary date on it stamped ? ...

Fact is even the thread is 3 year old but nothing is changed even today. This is India.. Everything moves slow except Taxi Meter..

Very surprising

There are a number of very good coffee places in India, in some places they're hard to find. But the last thing I'd wish on India is Starbucks. They are the epitome of the statement "Americans don't know that coffee already has a flavour - it's called coffee".
I'm pleased to say that in Australia, Starbucks has had to wind back its operations because Australians like their coffee the way Italians make it. India is already well-served by a number of groups and franchises and I'd hate them to get the wrong idea of what coffee is about at this early stage.

All you need to do is to check the date of the last post (before yours) - quite simple actually

Nice to see this old thread still raising a laugh or two. Going back to India soon after a 3 year absence, can't wait to see how things haven't changed a bit, I miss getting frustrated every day!

Cheers
