Seems Mcdonalds is taking Starbucks on head to head now. Mcdonalds is now adding coffee bars to its 14,000+ locations in the US.

Starbucks is actually going to be closing some US locations. Their stock has dropped about 50% in the last year. -
They are two different beasts and experiences.Comment

McDonald is well known to have god awful coffee !!!
.sig too bigComment

You know, I had heard this somewhere else and was wondering if it was true. I remember even a couple of years ago every Starbucks I set foot in had a line of at least 5 people waiting to get coffee at any given time, and at least 10 people at the Starbucks' with mall locations. Now it seems like most Starbucks I enter are dead by comparison...Comment

Starbucks always serves burnt coffee - disgusting
I think the US will soon see the appearance of what Australians have known for 10+ years as McCafe....
macdonalds own coffee and cakes/muffins only stores... no burgers or fries.. just CAFE.#RememberYourRoots #AaronMForGFYHOF

My coffee has Yukon Jack in it with a dash of cinnimon, thats real!!Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about thatComment

over in Kirkland on 85th, there was a burger king that closed... the whole thing was turned into a Starbucks and there is so many people there usually that they have to have people directing traffic in the parking lot. its crazy.
i've still never even tasted coffee. it just smells like ass.Comment

No shit. I used to think their coffee tasted like shit because I was geting it at 10 AM then one day I went in right at opening an it still tasted like it had been sitting in the pot all morning.
I've never been to a Starbucks. I'm not paying $4 for faggotty coffee.Comment

I personally love Starbucks coffee. It's insanely overpriced and I get how it is a rip off, but I can't help it. When I'm at places that have them, I'm there every morning.

Just caught this story on the news... does seem they're going head to head.
As was said, Starbucks is likely to close some of it's more unprofitable stores, and is rehiring their old CEO that left them in 2000 to, once again, fill the post.
Should be fun.-D.

Haha McDonalds often have wifi as well, found this out recently. Yet this has a perk that starbucks does not have. Many McDonalds also have indoor playgrounds for the kidlets which equals near free baby sitting while stay at home working mommy does her online business and sipping coffee all day. Then before you say it they do offer healthy choices now for kids like juices and stuff.Good, I don't know how poeple have patience to wait in line for 10 minutes, and pay 4 bucks for a cup of coffee. Seems like a scam to me.
Then you have everyone sitting around with their laptops pretending to be working so they can hook up with someone. Just seems weird.Comment

Mc Donalds for food, starbucks for coffee. Simple.Comment

For me it all starts with the beans and yes you should grind your own as you use them. Like spices once ground they begin to loose their flavor near instantly. Find yourself a bean type that you really like, if you are not sure you can join one of the many coffee clubs like Gevalia. They will send you a free coffee maker and maybe some insulated cups just for signing up. Forget the maker though and hell give it as a gift to someone. Now go order yourself like 5 bags of beans, pay attention to how much you drink and it will tell you how often you should get shipments. Now as each arrive grind some up and give them a taste and write down some notes. Do this until you find a bean you like. I personally am very fond of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee as is. Though I have made my own blends from assorted beans that missed a note here and there (hence the notes).
Get yourself a spice grinder or coffee bean grinder your choice just a matter of price an if you get a spice grinder remember its for coffee only.
Next a french press coffee maker. Yup zero technology at work, glass, stainless steel plunger, and a lid.
Stainless steel tea pot or if your like me and like productivity get yourself an electric kettle and I like the one Braun makes. Boils anything super fast.
Then your most important issue is your water. If your tap water does not taste perfect get yourself a filter system for it. Water choice is often the number one reason why coffee tastes like crap next to crappy beans.
Now I am sure some will say get some super deluxe wonder machine that grinds the beans, makes all forms of coffee and all that jazz for several hundred to a few grand. If you go this route just go Italian models and I hope you really love coffee. They are worth it, just not that worth it to me as I go through times when I am more into teas than coffee's.Comment

Had some about 3 weeks ago. Once again right at opening so it should have been fresh. Tasted like the same crap I had before year ago. I shouldn't need a dozen packs of sweet and low just to make coffee somewhat drinkable. I guess if you like your coffee blacker than Wesley Snipes then maybe it's good.Comment

I still use gevalia, do not ask why. They are probably a bit over priced but everything is fresh and shipping is decent and they allow me to pick a good schedule. Not to mention they send me crap like coffee makers and stuff which means one less gift to buy someone.
Hell send me your email, I will refer you and get myself a free carafe which I actually do need and you will get a nice stainless steal coffee maker and a stainless steal measuring spoon right now I think. We both benefit. Just keep in mind to always order at least 5 boxes at a time I think as a minimum to save on shipping though I think the base shipping is like 6.95 and then it goes up as you spend but not by much.
Oh I also like their seasonal offerings, and some of the other odd things they do. You can pick regular or decaf (in pre ground only), and then whole bean or pre ground and I think they offer pods now too.
Yet I warn ya do not use them for tea's I have a much better company for that as well. Ya I have about thirty types of loose leaf tea in my house and a good 20 boxes of assorted herbal tea bags. Found one called white christmas (yup seasonal) which I became instantly addicted to so I hit them up post haste and ordered myself an additional 20 boxes of it to make sure I had enough to last me until next christmasComment
