Best coffee away from the house.....

When I worked at the Music City Sheraton Hotel in early-mid 90s the management let us try the coffee.
All their stuff is over-roasted to the point of being burnt.
I barely finished it, and never went back. I never spent the rest of that gift card.
BUSTELO. You can find it in any grocery market. There is no need to walk this earth and drink high priced coffee that sucks.
I used to go there. I confess that I did go there on my five week trip to seattle last month. But I was living in my parents house, cleaning it out to be sold after my father’s death and my mom’s moved to a retirement facility, and all that was around was instant coffee. I did drink a LOT of instant.
I did get reminded that generally speaking I think they burn the coffee. That’s one of the reasons I stopped going there over a decade ago. When out and about I’ll patronize local places, but let’s be frank, most of them, politically, are worse than Starbucks.
People run each other over to get into the star$ drive through. One thing that will be hilarious to watch in a war is that such people can;t make their own coffee.
Not sure why anyone needs to read past the headline on this one.
They are major PP supporters and, at one point, their CEO publicly stated he didn’t want people who held “traditional” beliefs in his stores so I have happily obliged. I would never darken the door of the place. I absolutely cannot fathom why any right thinking person would do so.
Use 2ndvote to find conservative and neutral restaurants and service providers in general.
Not a Star-Bucks consumer at all....Ladies at work brought in McDonalds one day and wins over Starbucks any day.
The reason why they over-roast their beans is because it gives it a stronger taste so they don’t need as much to make a cup of coffee. Basically you’re getting a cheap cup at premium prices.
We only go to starbucks when we have a gift card from someone. Don’t want them to have received the money for the gift card without having to provide something in return.
And then, we often drink iced tea. Their coffee ranges from burnt and unpalatable to downright grotesque.
Starbucks has the absolute worst coffee across the board. They over roast it to get rid of bad flavors from inferior coffee beans, but it gets rid of the good flavors, as well. Thankfully, over roasting can make every coffee been in the world taste the same, because all carbon tastes the same.
Look up what “French Roast” originally came from. In sum, French citizens had nothing but thrown away beans to use as coffee, so to make it not puke-worthy, they burnt it until no coffee flavor remained, which did evaporate all the bad notes, to be fair.
Disgusting stuff, Starbucks.
How To Stop Spending Your Money At Starbucks And Get Better Coffee.
The 7-11 here has good coffee, many roasts and most of the frue frue additives you pay big bucks for at starbucks. 16oz a buck and a quarter.
We call it 5 bucks. Unfortunately my daughters are addicted to it. Me I don’t like the taste of their coffee.
Love Bustelo. Don’t go to Starbucks.
Downright bitter!
Starbucks is “O.J. Simpson” coffee ... strong, black and bitter.
When I’m out and about and need a coffee I hit the McDonald’s drive thru......or a gas station. They all have the french vanilla cappuccino that beats Starbucks by a mile.
