Starbucks best coffee yet?

[DCP]

I never had any but today 30-35 cars in a very long line most Windows up running AC

Now according to the blog Fast Food Price, the absolute cheapest drink on the Starbucks menu is an organic apple juice box for $1.75. Maybe this fluctuates based on location, maybe not, but it's only 20 cents more for a tall black coffee and probably pretty close in price to a short black coffee.Oct 11, 2019


Starbucks seems to be VERY proud of there coffee. For me thanks but no thanks

We buy a cup from them about every 3 years just to see if the taste has changed.
Nope, it still tastes like burnt tar to both my wife and myself. A senior coffee from McDonalds tastes like a gourmet cup compared to SB's.
I honest to god dont know how people enjoy their coffee, it is that bad.

As far as I am concerned Starbucks makes the worst coffee! I do ocassionaly enjoy a Chocolate Raspberry Mocha but I will go to independent Stands or Dutch Bro's. If none around AM/PM has good coffee. Besides Starbucks is a Liberal/socialist owned company.

I can't stand the stuff.

When I'm on the road I will drink Dunkin' Donuts coffee on occasion...but if I have a choice, it's McDonald's for me.

I was a Truck Stop coffee drinker for a while, I could get my 2 qt thermos re filled for $.79 usually and sometimes for free if the person selling it was in a good mood. I have to admit that quantity was more important to me at the time than gourmet quality. It was fuel, not desert. A couple of months ago I got my same 2 qt thermos filled at a Flying J and it cost $1.79. I guess 12 years makes a slight difference. The quality was just the same.

I`d rather drink GI field rats coffee(even WW2 leftovers) than Staryucks anyday.Much better quality.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

McD's has a maintenance schedule they have to keep, if they don't and get caught by a district manager they can lose the franchise. So coffee pots get a hot vinegar cleaning cycle every week keeping them clean. Friend worked at a Starsucks, I asked how often they clean the coffee pots. She answered " No clue, in the 6 months I have been there we have never broke them down for cleaning..."

I like Tom Horton's coffee. It is a bit strong and very HOT, but it is never more than 30, minutes old when you buy it. The downside is I always end up with a couple donuts when all i stopped for was coffee.

Guess I am old school on this. I make coffee at home, using Folgers, and then fill the travel mug and take it with me. $6 to $7 for 30 ounces which will make maybe 100? cups of coffee, and I can make it the way I like it.

I don't care to drink coffee that has oil on top, I drink it black. Star bucks adds enough sugar, cream, and other assorted flavors to make it so soyboys can drink it and feel manly.

Starbucks best coffee yet?

That's a pretty low hurdle to get over!

I to dislike the politics of starbucks , will not buy it . Funny how many gun owning conservatives I work with order it on the grocery order though . I make my coffee at home in a electric percolator pot made by presto .

one pound dark roast Colombian, two pounds Tanzanian Peaberry medium roast is my mix. I buy beans and grind my own every morning. FWIW. I drink it black too. No problem with a little oil on top, I know it's fresh.

As far as Starbucks cant remember what it tasted like but i do remember it being expensive. Most wont drink my coffee lead floats in it

I buy green beans online, usually Ethiopian and Brazil or Honduras, and I roast them to full city+ (dark and very oily) for about $6/lb, $8/lb for the really good stuff. My grinder is a huge old commercial Grindmaster that weighs about 40lbs, it grinds consistently with none of the annoying "fines" and the awful static that seem to be the norm with even high end home/kitchen grinders.

I use a 1950s vintage Farberware Superfast percolator (the original one with gold badge and the two line address on the bottom, before kidde corp or div. of LCA) which brews dark, oily, full bodied coffee every bit as good as a French Press but with 75% less sediment. This is my daily routine. Unplug it after it perks.

I found that Circle K stores in my area have a GREAT coffee setup, there are 3 machines with 2-3 hoppers full of roasted beans on top, you choose which varietal you want, push the touch screen a few times, it grinds the beans and brews your coffee in short order, and you know what? It's REALLY good coffee!! The dark roast Colombian brews with a nice crema that you want to sip off immediately.

Starbucks can't touch any of this, mine or Circle K.

A lady my wife knows gave her a Starbucks gift card and she gave it to me since she doesn't like coffee at all. I tried a cup of their "regular" coffee. To me it was so strong and bitter I didn't even drink it I dumped it out. I won't ever go back, I like the coffee at our McDonalds, Burger King and Hardee's. I also like the coffee at Dunkin Doughnuts. I just say no to Starbucks.

Same, I can even girly it up when I’m feeling sweet.
Since I first heard the name, I have drank one cup of Starbucks plain black coffee. I haven’t been back.

My first experience with Starbucks was at a coffee shop in the Mall of America. That stuff was HOT enough to melt lead, and so strong that I fully expected it to raise up and start barking at me.

Born and raised on Community Dark roast. When I lived in Canada I had it shipped to upstate NY and drove down to get it.
