Starbucks coffee

I had it once, it was awful and too expensive. Never saw the need to waste money on it again.

Marketing works ... figure a way to convince folks their lives will be fuller through use of your product, and haul in the money. Nobody ever went broke underestimating The Public.

I think it sucks, or at least most of the coffee brews they offer do. Over-roasted, all that. It's all schtick and I see no reason except for maybe convenience and speed, to buy at starbucks. When I do buy coffee out, I buy from my favorite local coffee house.

Starbucks have spurted up all over Canada. They can't complete with our famous Tim Horton's coffee.

Too many choices, too expensive and not Canadian.

Makes about as much sense as bottled water.

We call it CHARBUCKS cause they burn the beans and the taste of a cup is like creosote. I have no idea why they do this when I asked at a store , I got a "nobody home" stare back and "well everybody else likes it" I needed some coffee and when you really load it with cream and sugar its almost drinkable.

I like my beans roasted at "first crack" , They roast most of it by the sound they get in the wasshtub oven. When it starts crackling dont go any further shut it down and keep the beans rotating with a fan so they dont keep cooking from the inside.

I invested in them a few years ago and made some ok profits when they expanded furiously. I believe in investing in stuff I can understand. I didnt invest in Krispy Kreme cause I thought their donuts sucked, boy was I wrong on that one.

I used to work there. i hate the company but have to admit that it is pretty good coffee. I have found a nice local roaster that does it just as good and a heck of a lot cheaper though.

Unfortunately, Starbucks is all over Europe as well,
and I never will understand why one would leave the little
quaint cafès with good coffee and ambiance for a Starbucks.

Starbucks coffee is just plain awful in taste and price.

Starbucks did something that no one before accomplished. They taught America how to brew a proper cup of coffee. True, they often overroast and are not my favorite, but they always brew it strong. For decades, all you could get in most places was what we called "crayon coffee", which tasted like someone swished a brown crayon in hot water. Thank god for Starbucks.

their coffee sucks. nyah nyah

I had a cup from Starbucks last weekend that definitely sucked, but at least it was strong.

so is 10 Normal battery acid

You want strong coffee. Come to my house. In my wifes coffee the spoon stands at attention.

My grandma used to say the coffee was strong enough when you could float ball bearings in it.

I knew how to brew good strong coffee three ways before starbucks hit my reality.

strong coffee has nothing to do with the amount of charred residue within the cup. Starbucks isnt really an infusion, its a slurry. Look at the bottom of your goddam paper cup . Its all covered with black grit.
You honor, I ask for a summary judgement

But Starbucks didn't use to be like that. As their competition grew, the only way they could mask the fact they have to buy inferior beans is to burn them.

and really use cheap filters and local water (The charbucks in Philly uses the sity water) WOOHOO , its a sort of hot black Mr Clean.

I walked into a Starbuck a way long time ago, and tried to order a cup of coffee, wanted to see what all the hoopla was about.....I ended up walking out without anything.....because according to the person behind the counter I was too stupid to know how to order a cup of Starbucks.

It was like trying to figure out whether to itemize or take the standard deduction. The choices...holy christ.

A few Christmas's ago, someone sent us a Starbucks sampler package. I think 5 diffent kinds.

One or two of them were flavored, which for me is so bleech (if someone ever handed me flavored coffee when I first woke up, I'd throw it in their face and call in sick).

The other one or 2 either didn't taste like anything to write home about (dear mom & dad....let me tell you about this coffee....) one of those did taste burned.

Then, the next year, got the same type gift, only there was one I thought was good....Blue Note.....I remember that because I kept repeating.....bluenotebluenotebluenot.....

anyway, went back to get some of that.....I can't remember why, but I couldn't.

So, wanting to waste my money on something that day, I asked them what they had that didn't taste burned.

I glazed my eyes over while I got the lecture how I wasn't appreciating the hachacha oil molecules bursting or some **** like that.

You know what....Dunkin' Donuts makes the best cup of coffee, and it's cheap.
