The Top 40

You can buy Dunkin Donuts, Peets, Tim Hortons coffee online or through Amazon. Brew a pot, store it in fridge in an airtight container. When you want coffee pop it in microwave for 1-2 minutes, presto good hot coffee.

There is no excuse for bad coffee or funding SJW campaigns aimed at wrecking you.

About 15 years ago, I hit a Starbucks in the Atlanta airport, or it may have been Salt Lake, I'm not sure which, for a black coffee, which is the only way I've ever had it. It was undrinkable.

Like Bill, about 15 years ago I got a Starbuck and put cream and sugar in it and it was still burnt to fuck and undrinkable. I went back to the counter and asked if there was something wrong with it and was assured that it was perfect and I promptly threw it in the can.

Here's the thing.
I'm a pro.
Been drinking the stuff professionally for 40+ years and I KNOW what I'm talking about.

The fact that starbucks is successful is testament to the ridiculousness of the american people. And yes, this is reflected in the politics and everything else.

The one or two Starbucks I tried over perhaps 20 years was very bad coffee. It tasted burnt.

No matter. The Baristas will probably ignore this whole (said to be optional) campaign. They should.

There was a time when Starbutts was good. I know because I was a customer when they first started up. But no more. Even in Seattle we don't go to them. There are too many better choices. And btw Dunkin is awful. A few years ago on the east coast that was all we could find and the only thing you could say for it was that it was fresh because they sell so much of it for some reason.

Hell, Seattleites 30 years ago had bumperstickers reading

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS

As my friend Gregor says, "Starbuck’s coffee, company and “aura” all suck. If
I want that experience, I make my own cup of coffee,
yell out my name incorrectly and burn a five dollar bill,,
all without leaving my home."

You cannot have coffee anymore, you have to have speshul kaffee to be in the know. I guess some people just need to be taken over the coals.

Mickey D produced some bilge they called coffee that tasted like it was left overnight. If you want milk in their coffee you have to BUY milk; otherwise you get plastic creamer. That was about three years ago which is the last time I went into one of those places.

Coffee went downhill when they started flavoring it with shit like hazelnut and show scrapings.

My kids drank that swill until I started making their coffee for them. Plain old Folgers with a bit of sugar and fat free milk. They love mine and Star-F*cks isn't on their coffee menu any longer.

Oh and btw, McDonalds usually makes a pretty fair cup.

People from the Northwest have long known that Starbucks has crappy coffee. Its what people from other parts of the country get when they come here because they don't know any better.

Try a hot cup of hemlock brew and stop complaining. Socrates will vouch for what I say.

Mr. Taylor is correct. Starbucks is ersatz NW coffee, and people up there know the difference. Even out in the little podunks of north Idaho the roadside shacks offer a phenomenally better product.
