It's better than truck stop coffee, but it's still CRAP.

It's like saying Dirty Dancing is better than Footloose. They both suck.

nah dog, their coffee is burnt because starbucks, and i'm sure someone else can attest to this, have these timing rules in regard to pulling espresso and oz. rules (obviously) in regard to regular coffee. in the 4 places i've worked at as a "barista" (sorry), every one (and 2/4 were upscale independants) used at least 8 oz. less grounds per filter and like 2-3 seconds less on the espresso pull. so basically, starbucks is actually into burning their coffee, but if you have someone who knows how to press that wand just right, then hit the perfect 18-20 second mark... you're in for a fucking treat. blah blah, but burnt or not, theirs is the best caramel sauce! clumpy and lumpy and WWOOOOWWWWW WOOWWWW WOW!

Haliburton is crap and theology in U.S. government is crap, and Starbucks is, relatively, not crap, and that's why I voted for Gore.

The new all-chocolate chocolate chocolate thing is supposed to be remarkable, I hear from those who've tried it.

I love it!

Salut, tipcat!

Erm, my load was saved when I read about that. Not that I really liked KRS a whole lot in the first place.

7-11 coffee. Giant-sized refill for $0.75. Suits me just fine.

But Starbucks, you're OK. You make some decent coffee that is far better than the watery mud-piss I drink, but that's ok.

Starbucks is a bit of a mixed cup for me. I think that their coffee is generally burnt (over-roasted) and only enjoyable with large quantities of milk or ice or whatever. My 3 colleagues all like Starbucks, so I occasionally treat them to an afternoon round, in which case I usually get a Latte or a Frappuchino (although, the latter doesn't really have anything to do with coffee in my opinion) for myself.

I rarely ever drink Starbucks in the morning, except in one case, when I am house-sitting and can't find a coffee maker to save my life.

The Italians or the Viennese make coffee the way I'd consider it perfect.
Not Starbucks, most definitely. But we are discussing a chain here, not coffee.
Yes, driving encourages Starbucks consumption. And I will admit to thoroughly enjoying their Lattes.
