The morning coffee

[CharlotteBeer.com]

it's only 1.50 for a cup of coffee at starbucks.

not cheap. but not exactly way overpriced.

Yeah, their coffee isn't really that expensive at all, unless you add whipped cream, caramel, snickerdoodles or whatever else people drink in their "coffee" these days.

yea. plus, mcdonalds coffee is just super-heated brown water.

You know whose coffee isn't that bad? Bojangles'. I mean, as far as fast food coffee goes, of course.

[mmmbeans]

i usually just make my own and bring a thermos.

starbucks sucks and is way overpriced!

I'd sooner drink McDonalds coffee than the poo they sell at Starbucks!

Good thing Canada has Tim Hortons

Starbucks isn't that bad price wise, Americanos & plain coffee's are cheap that expensive sh*t they sell barley resembles coffee.

Nor-Cal has "Peetes Coffee & Tea" which was the original inspiration for "Starbucks" they have amazing beans.

I wrote a blog post saying that most coffee drinkers don't like the taste of coffee, just as most beer drinkers don't like the taste of beer. Most people just don't like bitter flavors, so they drink coffee that is just full of sugar, and they drink beer without much flavor.

i didn't like coffee or beer the first time i tried them. knew the effects though and kept drinking. now i like them both, and try different ones often.

Also, a lot of the people that flood their coffees with sugar and cream don't realize that bolder coffees don't have to be excessively bitter. Starbucks is a prime example of this. I tried several of their city blends and hated them, but found that their darker roasts (like Cafe Verona) are actually pretty decent.

Starbucks actually roasts/burns their coffee excessively to make it taste stronger than it is.

I need my coffee in the morning! Although I do have my doubts about how much more productive it actually makes people. :idea:

Exactly. They're both acquired tastes. You start with the weaker flavors before moving on to the stronger examples.

Yep, and they're lighter roasts are the worse for it. I do like their darker roasts.
