There's one 2 blocks from my gym, so it's like a conveyor belt of them coming through the door. I just don't understand the SBs culture. If I was a coffee drinker, I'd shell out some good bucks for a real coffee maker, get my own beans and get one of those really good thermal mugs. Probably recoup my investment in about 2 months with the prices SBs charges. Luxury prices for a farkin' commodity. Morons are everywhere.  ::)

dont get where the rumor that the coffee is more expensive

Dunkin donuts costs 2.15 for a coffee near me while Starbucks costs only $2.11

I could care less about cents but the reason I go to Starbucks is that if you compare who works at which chain you will see Dunkin Donuts is full of white trash, ghetto blacks and mexicans while starbucks is full of young hot tail or white 20 something nerds who dont have tattooed throats or gold teeth

1 in 3 times I go to D&D they fuck something up

If you're gonna drink Starbucks you may as well dip your mug in a toilet at a trucker's reststop.

I think the attacks on starbucks indicates a lack of taste, i mean what are they saying that dunkin's better? lol starbucks got huge because their product is better both in terms of the coffee (relative to mass market outlets), and because of the superior presentation, decor and staff.

I like starbucks, it's clearly better than mass market stuff which is why it was able to carve out huge niches for itself. Dunkin is ok working class coffee but not in the same category of taste at all, and McDonald's is simply trying to follow starbuck's success.

In countries where there's a much stronger, established and quality coffee culture there are still 'bucks doing very well. The only difference is that unlike the US, starbucks rivals were there decades in advance with an existing euro cafe culture, and they won't be eliminated nearly as quickly as competitors in the US were.

The only way to effectively criticize 'bucks coffee would be in taste tests against the smaller number of independant and/or european coffee chains, but even then it's not clearly one better than the other.

I've never heard that one before. What I do know is that bitter coffee means the beans have gone off/cheap/mishandled. To me Starbucks coffee is terribly bitter.

Most people love their coffee. Still no tangible signs of any comparable or better alternatives, just hearsay. Dunkin and Mcdonald's are just wannabe budget versions that don't stand up but are good for those who can't afford anything better. Stiil no proof of anything made at home that's any better either.


Hope this helps.

Most people love their coffee. Still waiting for any viable better alternatives. Dunkin and Mcdonald's are just the budget version trying to be bucks. Also haven't seen anything in terms of home brewing that's any better.

The cheap coffee my work provides is 10x better than Starbucks.  Another alternative are the grocery store bought beans I purchase for about $8/lb and grind myself.....great coffee.  I just keep the beans in the freezer and they keep nicely.

Cheap coffee lol you're clearly in the minority except here on getbig. They're laughing all the way to the bank because their product is superior top to bottom from the coffee to the cafes. They took it to another level and were rewarded for it.
