I do think among a certain sort of social group (not sure whether I'd call it a 'class' or not) of... metropolitan pretentiousness, coffee snobbery has certainly taken over from tea snobbery, though most people will drink both. You know, the sort of 'oh, I only drink espresso from my own [brand] machine, or from this one tiny little Italian cafe in Islington, Starbucks is just heated sawdust painted brown*, etc. etc.'

* They are right about this bit.
