“Hey,” Frasier says, “this isn’t my coffee. Where’s my finely ground Keenya blend from Starbucks.”
Café Nervosa
I love Frasier – probably watched the entire series at least 30 times.
But something in the second episode makes me scratch my head every time I see it
Daphne makes coffee. Frasier wakes up, then goes into the kitchen for coffee. Martin’s already in the kitchen. Frazier pours a cup and takes a sip.
“Hey,” Frasier says, “this isn’t my coffee. Where’s my finely ground Keenya blend from Starbucks.”
Martin tells him that Daphne put some eggshells and some allspice in it.
- Frasier takes place in Seattle.
- Starbucks is headquartered in Seattle.
- Starbucks opened its first store in Seattle in 1971.
- Frasier takes place between 1993 and 2004.
- Today 143 Starbucks locations exist in Seattle.
- It’s safe to say that a whole buncha Starbucks existed in Seattle when the show takes place.
- Frazier visits a coffee shop in almost every episode – the Café Nervosa.
- But Frazier never once goes to a Starbucks in all 11 seasons.
Why Frasier didn’t say, “Where’s my finely ground Keenya blend from Café Nervosa?”

and I approve this message.
Warner Books published Born to Be Wild in 1992 & it still sells every day at Amazon & Kindle. True story about certain members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang.
The story takes 21 years to play out – with many twists & turns – an amalgam of Sons of Anarchy & Breaking Bad – but these outlaw bikers make the Sons look like Cub Scouts.
