I think a guy could make a living selling just an old type coffee next to a Starbucks. I went there once I told them to cut it with 1/2 hot water it was still undrinkable just nasty.

I arrived at SEATAC airport early one morning and everything was closed except SBUX.
I had never tried their brew but I was desperate. Bought a plain "coffee". Took one sip and threw it in the trash.
I'd rather drink boiling asphalt..........which might be pretty close to what that crap tasted like.

Charbucks!,

Stopped at a rest area once and they were the only ones open, ordered a plain coffee....First coffee in my life that I threw away, and I've had some bad coffee....For the life of me I can't figure how people can drink, or afford that crap...

I remember who has the good coffee and real creamer I’d pay more for gas to get a drinkable cup of Java.

It's a bit over priced but I have had worse. My daughter only comes over to the states rarely so when she's here I spoil her by going there.

Went with a friend and thought nothing could be worse than their coffee. Was with the friend a second time and thought they can't screw up a cup of tea so I got that. I was wrong. Their tea was worse than their coffee if you can believe it.

That has been my experience the two (2) times that I ever tried it. Cajun coffee isn't even that bad. Never tried any of their coffee-flavored milk.

Over-priced, burnt coffee from a leftist bunch of folks: I'll pass.

A curious observation though. If a guy buys a coffee from Starbucks, they'll gulp it down like any other coffee. However, a woman will nurse a Starbucks drink for three or four hours, proudly parading around with her Starbucks cup for all her girlfriends to see. Strange.

Had a professor that always had a Starbucks cup. There wasn't a Starbucks within an hour of campus. Drove people nuts. He just reused the cup.

The 4 shot mocka, light on the chocolate, made with 1/2 and 1/2, extra hot, no whip, is pretty good

Those are guys who want to be guys but were trained to think being a guy is bad. So they buy Starbucks because that's what all non-guy guys do... but they chug it to get rid of the evidence in case a real man might see them and think less of him for it.

When my daughter lived in DC I'd drive down visit her. We'd go to a local Starbucks, get coffees and sit in the outdoor areas to watch people walking by while we chatted. I'd have her order for me because I wasn't sure what a large, regular coffee was called. LOL

I didn't think the coffee was that bad, overpriced for the quality but not bad coffee. Maybe it's a regional thing?


Eh...wot?
