“Anyone dumb enough to pay Starbucks prices for coffee deserves to be separated from their money.”

No kidding! And people who frequent Starbucks also vote! The only time I “liked”
Starbucks coffee was when United Airlines replaced their “homebrewed coffee” with it. UAL coffee was so bad, that Starbucks was an improvement. It’s like a contest where the “prizes” are McDonalds hamburgers. First prize is one burger, second prize is two!

Unfortunately, that price adjustment was prematurely entered into the point of sale systems in our U.S. company-operated stores. As a result, some customers were charged incorrectly.

Yeah, *THAT* and $5.00 $7.50 will get you a cheap latte at Starbuck's...

The Liberty Valance coffee fund remains unaffected.

Darn! That means my Starbucks bill will go from $0 to $0+ dollars.

We have been brewing with Chemex pots since 1972.

The Dark Eye-talian for me is a great rich, bold but very smooth taste and the price is always right. I grind and brew it every day.

Prices are consistent with size & complexity.

Want a cheap good Starbucks coffee?
Order a “short bold black”, about $1.75.

Want big fancy custom?
Well duh you’re going to play for it.

Yes, this coffee snob doesn’t like the Pike Place Roast, but most of the “bold” variants are good.

Even if I wanted-or could afford-to buy overpriced coffee from Starbucks, it would not be practical-the nearest one is more than 40 miles away-I prefer making coffee here, fresh every morning-made with the Columbian blend coffee I buy at the grocery store in the nearest town...

I stopped going to Starbucks when I discovered FRESH McDonald’s coffee. Note I meant FRESH brewed. I always make sure I get the FRESH Brewed!

You can get free coffee from the pro desk of lowes, many sherwin williams stores, most auto repair places, and a ton of other places.

You've given me the idea to write a smartphone app that will allow you to find free coffee wherever you go. I'm thinking of calling it "MochaMooch".

I hate McDonalds - but their coffee is just as good as Starbucks and a whole lot cheaper.
