Safeway Cappuchino blend, fresh ground, with whipping cream and Splenda -better than anything Starbucks can make, and one bag of the Safeway blend is less than two latte's at Starbucks. Invest in a good coffee maker and grinder, a cappuchino machine, and freeze your coffee - you'll save a ton of money, and it'll taste better. Costco sells Bay Blend, which is acceptable too (but tends to go stale in the warehouse). Find coffee that's sold frozen, that's the freshest, you won't believe how much better truly fresh beans are. My brother owns a small coffee company, out of Anchorage (Silverhook), and learned from him what **good** coffee is.
I make a pot in the morning, fill the thermos for work, and I'm good to go.
Starbucks coffee is typically stale, overpriced, and you're supporting liberal whackjobs. 'Nuff said.
Starbucks coffee is awful, IMO.
I'm a great fan of triple-venti-white-chocolate mocha. I realized that it was waaaay to expensive. If I could only find the white chocolate syrup I would never darken the door of another Starbucks. Or just quit drinking coffee.
Not to mention that Starbucks over roasts its beans, thus giving its coffee that slightly burnt taste. The coffee bar at my local Speedway gas station is much better.
Chai lovers can buy the same Tazo mix used at Starbuck's at some grocery stores. Much cheaper to mix with our own milk!! I love the Tazo stuff but hate the Oregon Chai (icky, icky!).
Is freezing really good for coffee beans?!Is there a time limit, when freezing is detrimental to the coffee beans?Series (sic)(lol) replies only please
