I'll second that. Even though I haven't been to a starbucks, I've tried a fw otherr places here or there for coffee and I'll go on record as saying the drip-grind stuff I make at home is as good or in some cases better than what's being sold out there for $2-$5 a cup.

I get some of those flavored creamers sometimes (dairy based, not oil) and that makes for a nice change too.

Secret to home-brewed is: keep your coffee maker ultra clean inside and out, especially the filter (if you have a permanent filter).

If you're not a coffee drinker you wouldnt go? Well yes of course :)

But alot of us posting that we've never been to a starbucks are HEAVY coffee drinkers. We just dont buy into the "lifestyle" of mega dollar coffee bucks.

I drink a pot a day, so what am I saving? Like $40 a day? I'll take it :)

Cha-ching. Bingo.

Nailed it dead nuts on.


Up here it's Tim Horton's. I admit, it's good.... but not THAT much better than my home brewed, and I don't have to drive anywhere to get my coffee.

that's funny, i've never known of people that haven't been to Starbucks, is is world wide or just in the US?

I can't wait. But not sure how much they will charge for a coffee here..
no one will pay more than 12 pesos per a cup of coffee here.. (4 dollars).

I don't drink coffee, but my gf brings me passion tea lemonaid everyday. Or CALM tea (tazo) when im sick. Good shits! But I would never do the 3-4/day route for sure. I don't want yeller teeth :)

yeah you're not missing much. their coffee is overrated.

I haven't either, and we actually do have a handful around... I don't understand why you feel the need to pay 12$ for a mochawhippedcreamsugarouttheass ice... Hell, I don't even drink Tim Horton's... Some Canadian I am...

xXx

You are not missing a thing.

I've been to one with friends who wanted to buy something, but I hate coffee in general. So no, I've never gone to one to buy anything.

me too... but next week i will try on it...

Starbucks suck thier overpriced and the taste is not that great...the Coffee Bean is sooooo yummy. Try it

Are any of you going to be trying 7-11's new "slurpaccino" anytime soon?

lol

Coffee flavored slurpee. :D


I think I'll pass.

Peet's is better and Starbuck's started by reselling Peet's coffee. Peet's has a cool domain too - www.coffee.com

I know a lot of people who love Starbucks, I'm not one for coffee, All I know is that there's something Dunkin Donuts puts in there coffee that can make even a non coffee drinker addicted to it. i think ill investigate lol

I live in downtown Seattle. It's hard not to go to Starbucks. There is one on every corner here. I'm hooked.

I wish I could say that I haven't.

They're an insult to everything that's called coffee.....I will never get coffee
from starbucks. I only get coffee at places where to properly make coffee.
real espresso is something completely different

I see a lot of twink cards being revoked here!!!

I, unfortunately, love SB. They opened one in my little town. It's such a love/hate relationship :(

I have one every 3 blocks or less radius from my place , but
then again i live smack middle downtown . <sigh>

me too... i really wanted to but i don't have enough money to buy for it..

LOL. Dude, I'm a sushi nut now.

too many calories

(though I'm confused on how a "Nonfat Cafe Mocha" can actually have 1.5g of fat.......:helpme)

I guess you have never been in one, or they are price gouging where you live. < $4 for a venti mocha in LA, and every other state I have purchased one in all across the country.

Coffee Bean is a weak substitute whose doors are only entered when there are no Starbucks around.


I would like to say that I would never go to either just for a "cup of coffee" you can get that at McDonalds. But for a latte . . . :thumbsup

I have been in a Barnes and Nobels which always has a damn starbucks inside. I have tried their milkshakes err coffee and honestly it tastes burnt to me.

Now I do visit dutch brothers.

I boycott Starbucks, I will never go there

When I DO go into Starbucks i end up leaving with a frappacino or a loaded mocha. when I DO go into McDonald's I end up getting a Big mac and Fries. Despite the fact that McD's has a 200 calorie salad I have never bought one. i have the kind of willpower that falls apart once I pass the temptation of walking in the door.

Speaking of McDonalds their coffee is actually pretty good.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

And yes, like you, I MUST order the worst thing for me on any menu. :)

I like the cofee black, strong and not sweetened. Home made.

Fuck! I just remembered, I bought a brownie once.

yeah, it's just like a strip club

I'm addicted, Hot Mocha with all the species they have.... and syrup, lol



Their biscuits and muffins suck though

i think 75% of americans have been to a starbucks. personally, i get confused with all the choices....

never been.

I've been there a few times. Nothing special.

cannot believe this many people never been to one

Never been, the closest one is about 40 minutes away near Providence, RI.

But I'm at Dunkin Donuts all the time for their decaf iced coffee.
