Seattle's collective taste in coffee.
Generally speaking, Seattle, in spite of its reputation as a city of coffee, has horrible taste in coffee. Starbuck's sucks and Tully's is worse, and both chains are wildly popular and well thought of by the average Seattleite. I'm more and more convinced everyday that very few of them have any idea what good coffee tastes like. I bet you could take Folger's, or maybe that stuff they brew at 7 Eleven, slap a green circular logo with some smiley lady with a crown on it and most people here would think it's delicious.
Not to say that Seattle isn't well above average when it comes to the availability of good coffee: Cafe Vita and Zoka's are both of high quality, and I've heard great things about Uptown Espresso and several other places, but it could definitely be said that largely the average resident of Seattle couldn't tell a good cup of coffee from a good cup of water.
