fixed and QFT. that place is for nancy boys.

It does have a convenience factor, there are almost 200 of the things within 5 miles of me. Personally, I just get regular drip coffee so it isn't that much.

Someone let me know when the hating on Starbuck's bandwagon finally grinds to a halt.

ooh yeah, i got such a hate on right now i am going to snap.

brb, going to bomb a starbucks.

You will be so confused by the menu that you'll never be able to hit the detonator.

Unless you missed the trend, writing vitriolic messages/opinions against Starbucks has been all the rage for a while.

I actually prefer 7-11 or Royal Farms coffee more than starbucks. I just think it tastes better, plus they have the liquid flavored creamers that I love.

I like the Ice Coffee that Starbucks offers but if there was a Dunkin Donuts near me, I would prefer DD's Ice Coffee.

I agreed with the stupid name they used.

Oh and make it a Grande, in a Venti cup.

Ignore them and they really will go away.

I rarely go to Starbucks. But CEO Howard Schultz was on Charlie Rose recently, and unless he was lying through his teeth, they don't seem so bad.

 

[glen]

I always tell them to Biggie size it.

 

[johnjbruin]

I just don't go there - problem solved.

 

[purbeast0]

wow you are such a rebel!

Dunkin Donuts uses the normal size naming/conventions AND has better coffee then Starbucks AND you don't need to take out a second mortgage to buy a cup, just go there?

Exactly. I always use those terms, and will not bend to their will

Yuck, DD coffee is terrible. I also hate that they add sugar/milk for you. I like to do it myself, jerks. I don't know why people around here love it so much. 7-11 has the best cheap coffee, IMO.

Coffee = free at work. Imagine how much money you'd save by never going there.

you to seem to be poking fun at people who order fancy drinks. i don't see the big deal. some people would rather enjoy a complex drink than something simple as drip-brewed. not exactly the finest coffee brewing method.

i would order fancy drinks, but never from Starbucks, because face it.. if I go to starbucks I know I am not getting authentic Italian-style espresso drinks. so why order something that begs to be made only in the utmost perfection?

i like going to specialty coffee houses, but I rarely get anything remotely fancy. I usually test their waters with a cappuccino, to see how they make them. not one place I went to in Toledo seemed to ever prepare a cappuccino properly: 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 frothed milk.
is it really that hard? and don't burn the beans, please! Espresso is not its own roast-level of blackness, but rather the care in the blend and a medium-to-dark roast. Full City is a good balanced roast, maybe a level past that, but I don't like glossy beans.. means the oil is escaping, and is being oxidized and thus is not reaching my cup like it should be.

sry, ranted a bit myself there.

The only thing my work coffee would be good for is cleaning my car battery.

I don't know what sizing terminology starbucks uses, but I guarantee Coldstone's is worse.

You don't like "Like It", "Love It", or "Gotta Have It"??

I use conventional sizing at both places. It's just my way of sticking it to the man.
