Starbucks is giving out FREE coffee! - GoFuckYourself.com

Fap · 04-08-2008, 07:14 AM

Apparently they invented the "greatest coffee of all time" so to prove it they are giving out samples for free.. but for a limited time.

seems like adult webmaster plan : give porn for free ....

looky_lou · 04-08-2008, 08:27 AM

Looks like the coffee wars are on. McDonalds is giving away their new Latte on Fridays.

Gary_TLX · 04-08-2008, 01:56 PM

LOL, I can't believe it. Coffee is big business and they don't seem to like competition. Giving it away for free is the same mistake webmasters made back in the day. Two very different animals, but still.

I'm sure this has been posted, but whats the status w/the lawsuit against Starbucks?

F-U-Jimmy · 04-08-2008, 03:22 PM

Im not surprised StarBucks has to give away coffee. People are waking up to the fact their burnt offerings is not what real coffee should taste like. Its why Tim Hortons coffee in Canada is doing so well ( its not burnt and bitter !!)

tony286 · 04-08-2008, 03:23 PM

I have to go try it

I'm sure it's at least a contributing factor.

Perhaps that's what their new flavor is all about? I don't think it can be said that the Starbucks peeps are stupid.

If you're referring to the tips lawsuit, Starbucks lost in court, but says they won't pay.

NinjaSteve · 04-08-2008, 03:31 PM

I get free coffee a few times per week when I walk buy Starbucks during rush hour. It's always a shot of this, a shot of that, and never a full cup. But I'm not expecting the greatest coffee of all time to come from Starbucks, no way.

Nice English jackass

wtfent · 04-08-2008, 03:33 PM

lol you know why they are doing this? I have been to starbucks about 3 times in my entire life and then about two weeks ago I was buying my daughter a happy meal at mcds and they were giving out free samples of their new Iced coffe and let me tell you that shit was fuckin good. No joke I have gone to mcds about 10 times so far to buy just that iced coffe, I hate eating there unless its for my daughter so they made an extra $20 or so from me that they would have never made other wise

aico · 04-08-2008, 03:36 PM

is it just me or is there something about Starbucks' paper cups that make the coffee taste funny? Don't really notice it with a latte style drink, but just coffee you can taste it, or at least I can.

I very much admire the company and the way they train staff, they have a very consistent product. But their product is very poor when you compare it to the quality coffee that is available in the smaller gourmet coffee shops. I used to think SB was the greatest because i had nothing to compare it to, but after trying coffee shops all over California i realize that i was mistaken and that roasters like Moto coffee or Ryan Bros even Detric coffee roasted and brewed correctly tasted like ambrosia when compared to the burnt products SB sells

Best coffee I ever had was in Venice Beach/Marina Del Rey on Washington Street, about a mile East of the beach. I forget the name of it, but they roast it right there in the place, and make each cup individually (filter on top of a cup). They had good bagels too.

Skillz Unlimited · 04-08-2008, 03:59 PM

Coffee is so over rated. Strabucks has people drinking coffee who wouldn't normally drink that shit. They drink it just so they can be apart of the in crowd and have 'the look'. I refuse to go there everyday and give them a portion of my earnings like a lot of people do. $3 per day x 7 days per week = $21 per week. $21 per week turns into $84 per month. Multiply that $84 per month times 10 million people. I refuse to be apart of that. They're fooling enough people already.

Coffee = Lame

I'm still a big fan of the mom and pop's for my coffeehouse meanderings.

We have a local joint named aptly titled "The Monkey House Cafe" that has about 95% of my coffee and deli sangmich business at the moment.

Doesn't take much to beat Starbucks coffee, they purposely burn their beans, somehow they got it into their brain that is the correct way to roast coffee, and everyone else is doing it wrong.

Your 100% correct they do purposely burn their beans. Its because they buy vast amounts of green beans that no single grower can supply at the price they pay. So they buy from a large number of growers who all produce beans that taste different. To make the coffee consistent in every store they mix huge vats of these bean and over roast them slightly to give a strong bitter taste, thereby masking the true flavor.
Remember they by cheap, way cheap. The average coffee shop cannot compete with their buying power so you will find the smaller companies charge a little more, i for one am happy to pay 10, 20 or even 30 cents more for ( Fair Trade ) coffee that has flavor.

Fair Trade = a fair price is paid to grower

Fap · 04-08-2008, 07:36 PM

Anyone actually try the coffee?

born4porn · 04-08-2008, 07:39 PM

StarBucks is always too packed here in Sydney!

woj · 04-08-2008, 07:45 PM

yea, I'll get right on that... so I can wait in line for 30 mins to get a free cup of coffee that is worth 50 cents...

natas · 04-08-2008, 07:49 PM

I'd rather go elsewhere and pay money than drink that shite they call "coffee"

maybe he just took your post another way? Like women, they want you to love them their way and when you don't they get pissed...

but back to your post I think they need to do that now. I've heard they are hurting, people are sick of their shit. Maybe the attitude ? No free refills like you would get at most coffee houses... I know it never mattered when they closed down great coffee joints here in town. Everyone still showed up for 4 bucks a cup ?

I don't know man ... I hope this post qualifies

The whole article was about how they are changing their coffee to make it taste better and how its amazing. Soo yeahh

d-null · 04-08-2008, 08:56 PM

I love Starbucks, I think the coffee rates well compared to other coffee places.

Anyone who says Tim Hortons even comes close to Starbucks is being ridiculous. The people that rave about Tim Hortons are people that buy their coffee at gas stations otherwise.
