Had My First And Last

cup of Starbucks coffee.
When we went to Vermont last wekend we said lets treat ourselves to Starbucks.
It was worse than McDonalds coffee.
It was so bitter and acidy tasting.
I will stick to Dunkin Donuts..

I cannot drink Dunkin Donuts coffee at all ~ it's so acidy to me that I get sick every single time I drink it ~ I like the way it tastes, too and I wish I could drink it. OTOH, I can drink Starbucks all day long ~ I usually have caramel macciatos ~ yummy!

I am the same way Holly. I have difficulty stomaching any coffee not made at home. For some reason, the Starbucks just didn't wow me. I have been to other coffee shops and had the same - blah - reaction. Definately not worth spending an hour's income on - lol!

I find Starbucks really strong. I, too, will stick to DD (also known as "my church").

I love Starbuck's foo foo coffees (flavored exresso drinks

) but I don't care for their coffee straight. I do like McDonald's bold coffee, I pick it up on the way to work in the evening. We are deprived of Dunkin Donuts here in my neck of the woods, we have not had one here since I was a teenager back in the dark ages.

OMG!!! I love Starbucks!!!! I get it out, make it at home...

**cab54** · 10-23-2007, 09:25 AM

I seldom buy coffee out. It is never as good as home brewed and fresh. We buy Stewart's coffee (originates from Chicago) at the local store, but I have their .com in my favs in case the store isn't stocking as fast as we can drink it. It costs about the same as other coffees at the store.

Besides, I have to have at least 2 cups before I get moving, before I get dressed, before I make any decisions, and DEFINITELY before I drive. I'm only half there

without coffee.

I like Starbucks, but I do think it is an aquired taste...I don't go there much anymore since we got a Flavia brew station, It was pricey but, it is much cheaper than going to Starbuck's or WAWA...

**mama2anangel** · 10-23-2007, 10:17 AM

I used to order their fraps but they are so expensive...I try to stick w/ whatever I have at home now....

**many houseapes** · 10-23-2007, 10:18 AM

wow, I always heard it was pretty good.....I guess now I'm glad that I drink Folger's instant at home.
My son teases me & calls me a traitor...he works for Starbucks.lol

I hate Starbucks coffee. I always have to have them give me half a cup with half a cup of hot water. It's nasty. I always get the Tazo Chai. Much better.

Don't like Dunkin Donuts too much either. I like my coffee homemade.

Seattle's Best is good coffee. All organic. We have a shop down from where I work, and I love it.

**Dancing Lotus** · 10-23-2007, 11:31 AM

Starbucks double brews the coffee on purpose so it taste "burnt". I dont get it but somebody must like cause they so do have a lot of them.

**YankeeMom** · 10-23-2007, 01:00 PM

The only "regular" coffee I can drink outside of the house is Dunkin' Donuts.

I do like Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte and their Caramel Macchiato (best iced, IMO). I generally stick to froo froo drinks when splurging and for regular coffee either home or DDs.

Seattle's Best is owned by Starbucks

We have them at our Borders, I like their froo froo drinks too.

I prefer Timothy's/Second Cup and good old faithful Tim Hortons

I only go to Starbucks for sheeshee-froufrou coffee-like-based drinks for a treat. Usually for dessert as their reg coffee burns a hole in my stomach and I LOVE strong and bold coffees
