ha! hard to justify a $4 coffee when ya can't pay the rent.

i do enjoy a skim carmel macchiato every once and a while, though!

Discipline - 11-12-2008 at 02:43 PM

I think their coffee is nasty and wouldn't pay their prices even if I liked it.

BDx13 - 11-12-2008 at 03:26 PM

my wife says the exact same thing.
i don't know for coffee, really.
i pretty much only drink the stuff we make at home or, occasionally, from McD's.
that carmel maccewhatever is delicious though!

i like starbucks.....its tasty,

clevohardcore - 11-12-2008 at 04:38 PM

I love STARBUCKS. Fucking amazing coffee. Straight and black is the way I like it. None of the foo foo shit because of price but I would drink them if they were alot cheaper.

JawnDiablo - 11-12-2008 at 08:55 PM

I've had starbucks when someone at work treated and it was pretty tasty.
some caramel thing that was loaded with caffiene.
I will never pay for it though.
I'm plenty happy with the fair trade variety i get from trader joes and brew at home cheaply.
hmm could go for a cup of joe, but i know it would keep me awake tonight.

I admit to being a bit of a starbucks fiend- it's not the best coffee in the world, but it's a hell of a lot better than Tim Horton's, which is usually the only other choice if you're in a hurry.

upyerbum - 11-13-2008 at 10:51 AM

Its the only place I can get an espresso on the fly, but its way overpriced.

As someone who had to work at starbucks for an inbetween job...it was one of the worst experiences for me. I was hooked on Starbucks for awhile...then after hitting up my local coffee shop, I realized how awful Starbucks coffee was. Now, I depise it. If any of you ever make it to Seattle, look me up and I will take you to the best Coffee in all of the US. I can't speak for the world, but Starbucks is nasty.

Dig their Hot Chocolate though, damn.

I never had Starbucks so I can't say how the hot chocolate is, but Dunkin Donuts white hot chocolate with caramel is amazing.

joemaconmovies - 11-13-2008 at 03:24 PM

I don't drink coffee so whenever I step into a DD, I always get the white hot chocolate or the heavenly beverage you just mentioned.

MarkV - 11-14-2008 at 01:44 AM

Tim Horton's coffee is vile. The worst part of touring Canada.

I haven't been to a Dunks since moving to LA. How much is a coffee from there vs a coffee from Starbucks?

^^^^^^^^^^^^ Posts like that may earn you a respectable spot on the board. Just saying since I noticed you first came here selling stuff in all. Welcome aboard if you visit often and keep the advertising on the DL a bit.

THis smester I have been hitting CARIBOU COFFEE 3 times a week. Got to say they have some really good coffees. I always grab a medium of whatever they have dark. Usually its MOCHA JAVA, MAHOGANY-my fav, and FRENCH ROAST, or this roast they call OBSIDIAN. Its so damn good and the aroma just makes things better. I got to say I think they are better than SB.

Go to Caribou every morning for a large dark on the way to work. Grind and brew their French Roast at home.

Voodoobillyman - 11-14-2008 at 09:47 AM

I stick to my fair trade Ravens Brew and have one o them fancy programmable brewer thingys. It rules, my coffee is ready fopr me when I wake up, I feel like I am in one of those old Folgers commercials only the coffee doesn't suck.

Voodoobillyman - 11-14-2008 at 09:49 AM

When I was in Baghdad, we had the Green Bean (the ones that didn't get fragged), I dug their coffee alright. Triple espresso to get my day started. I am a COFFEE JUNKY and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the by, are there Green Beans anywhere in the U.S.?

JawnDiablo - 11-14-2008 at 10:27 AM

Doesn't the military have this super coffee that keeps you wired for like 3 days?

I frequent S-Bux this time of year for Egg-Nog Lattes and Pumpkin Spice.

I think you're taking what I wrote way more seriously than I do....

Joe seems to miss sarcasm/exaggeration a bit.

moron - 11-16-2008 at 12:22 PM

If Im in a rush and want coffee on the way to work I stop at the Mobil station down the street and get some Green Mountain coffee. I love their coffee. Don't like Starbucks at all really, and I don't really drink DD anymore.

Right now Im happily drinking tea.
