    As a former major coffee drinker, I honestly dont think theres anything special about Starbucks coffee. Its really only a name, nothing else. Plus it usually costs alittle more too.

    and caribou and seattle's best? what exactly makes one a non-amateur coffee drinker? is that something you're actually proud of?

    I don't like Starbucks - the coffee is way too strong for me. I love wawa coffee - that's pretty much the only coffee I drink. I love the chai lattes from Starbucks though - yum :)
    mmmm...soy chai lattes are my weakness. it's the only reason why i go to starbucks now...i gave up carmel macchiatos years ago.
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    i have starbucks every morning because a) there is one on my way to work and there no other coffee places on the way and b) the girls that work there are cute and it's fun to flirt with 'em ;):o:)

    as for the coffee....i prefer peets! :)

    Starbucks coffee doesn't taste good no matter how much sugar you put in it.

    It doesnt even taste like coffee. Worse when they come in a friggin milkshake container too

    I try not to drink too much coffee, but I'll get Starbucks drinks when I'm traveling. One of their good points is they always have soy milk available for those of use who do not drink dairy.

    starbucks is way too expensive these days, but sometimes i have to give in!
    for me, its a light caramel frappuchino or an iced caramel macchiato when its hot, and a caramel macchiato or vanilla latte when its cold
    yummm!

    i don't have anything against starbucks as a business, but i do not like their coffee at all. dunkin donuts has better coffee. i'll also take caribou and seattle's best over starbucks. it's just not that great.

    I agree... I don't drink coffee all that much, but I just don't think it's that good at all. Enough people must like it though, they are always busy.

    Coffee sucks. Tea sucks.

    haha, yeah.... being healthy sucks!
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.
  • I'm not a fan of Starbucks' regular coffees, but their lattes are fantastic. Especially now that we are in the season of the pumpkin spice latte :) Their iced coffees are good too imo. Prices are steep for the lattes and whatnot, but for the superior taste it's just worth it.

    The $1 large coffee at the guy on the corner is much tastier.

    I am not much of a coffee drinker so maybe I am missing something. Can't you get the sweets in a candy bar and pay a lot less.
    behind you 100% BD, starbucks IS NOT coffee!!
    if you think it is, then your pallette has obviously been destroyed by the big cup of warm milk that's covering up what little bitter coffee has been put in by the bad barista behind the gutless espresso machine.

    and then they have the audacity to charge you your left nut for it! :eek: :mad:

    (I do like Starbucks breakfast sandwiches...they are very filling if you are hungry in the morning!)
    BUT once you eat there with your coffee too regularly then you get sick of it very quickly....tooo many banana loafs.
    I feel like if I really need to wake up Starbucks coffee is the strongest for sure....if I want to save a couple bucks I got to a cheaper brand....
    I would say I am a HUGE coffee drinker..
    I have a coffee pot & espresso machine at home. Starbucks coffee for home is WAY over priced!
    If there were more Seattle's Best where I live then I would go there.
    They closed the one down in my neighborhood.
    I also love JJBean...(but I think that's only local to us Vancouverites??)
    I feel like I am going on and on...

    I also LOVE Nabob....that's what I grew up on....and to save some dollars for home brew I often buy Organic Nabob! :) Its only 6.00$ compared to the freakin 11.50$ for 1/2 a pound @ Starbucks!!....
