The most important question is:

Why are you frequenting Starbucks and overpaying for coffee?

 

Starbucks just sucks in general.

You want real coffee? Head to your local Quick Chek, 7-11, WaWa, etc.

 

i pay close to $5 when i get the fraps :no:

 

agreed 100% :up:

 

When I want Starbucks I simply put ten dollars into a cup and pour cheap homemade coffee over it and throw in some whip cream. It's the same basic concept. :up:

 

I drink redbull..........it gives me wings....

 

Free air-fare up to New Jersey for the draft party and the Jets / Dolphins game then.

 

Gotta agree w/ Josephe here folks. You haters can say what you want, but Starbucks IS good coffee

 

the wings last about 20 mins then iam more tired then before.....:shifty:

 

Fly fast. :lol:

 

I'll throw in my 2 cents on coffee.

WaWa (like 711 to those not in the know) best place for drip coffee. They have columbian, kenya, flavored roasts, and my personal favorite, Kona.

Dunkin Donuts: I don't typically drink iced coffee, but when I do, its D&D all the way. Nothing else.

Starbucks: When I want a latte, cappicuno, espresso, or anything of that like, its starbucks all the way. There are plenty of good mom and pop coffee shops in philly, unfortunatley, none of them are in my vacinity.

So there you have it, my coffee prefrences.

 

yet somehow you will sign up for porn but complain about the starbucks sign up..........:tongue2:

 

Good coffee, Dunkin Donuts is better though.

 

Cant agree with you.

I do enjoy DD and can't beat the price. Truth is I start almost EVERY morning out with a cup of DD as that is what the serve in the Cafeteria at my new workplace....

HOWEVER, for a special treat, I will stop and overpay for a cup of Starbucks....maybe 1 day of the week...

 

nothing goes better with a cup of coffee than a great philtrum to stir it with!! :pointlol:

 

I dont like coffee.

 

Yeah we'll you're old as hell, BOOM ROASTED!

 

mikey watched the office?!

 

:yes:

 

Me either. I drink Tea. :up:

 

Bad coffee too. it's why coffee geeks call them Charbux. It's not their fault. They have to have a consistent flavor throughout their chain, and they have a big chain. So that means they have a lot of different suppliers, different beans, different regions.

How do you ensure that they all taste the same? Over roast the beans.

To save money, and ensure freshness, I roast my own beans. yeah I know. but all it takes is a popcorn popper for low volumes. Then let them sit for 24 hours for gases to escape. Then grind them.

When I'm lazy, I go for some pre-roasted shops that only roast after you buy.

But when I'm on the go, I'm sorry I avoid starbucks unless absolutely necessary. I try a place's drip, espresso straight, and americano. And Sbux always leaves me underwhelmed. I currently like my local Coffee Bean. Lady swears by seattles best, but I haven't had theirs lately. peets is pretty decent actually even though all their roasts are darker.

 

Dunkin Donuts(of course), McDonalds and Burger King all have better coffee than Starbucks, for much, much cheaper.

 

McD's is ok, unless they changed it recently. When they came out with their gourmet coffee it was always a bit flat (flavor wise). But I know they re-reupped their coffee, and I don't know if it's changed again.

 

its not all that but its still alright

 

For the price id generally take them over SB everytime. I really like the BK mocha Joe, great for someone who doesnt really love coffee like me.
But seriously, starbucks is no longer in the position where they are so much better than everyone that they can charge such high prices.
One reason they have been struggling as of late, as places like McDs, BK and DD take away customers.

 

:blink:

 

the mocha joe is great

 

that and they would literally have 4 or 5 stores per block. In Valley Ranch I can probably get to about 15 different Starbucks in 10 minutes.

 

I can't understand this? Is this written in English?

 

Well, since I threw out the first question, I guess I should give my preference...

Folgers. Brewed in my lovely new coffee maker. Poured into a thermos and carried in to work with me because our coffee here is gross.

I buy the big container at BJ's-14.99 but it lasts me more than a month. Occasionally I will get a bag of Kona, but not all the time.

So there you go.

 

Mountain Dew people! More caffeine, its cheaper, and its cold so it wakes you up quicker. Sure, its the nectar of the tards, but dammit it works better than coffee.

 

lol

 

Tim Horton's is pretty yummy
