@Puulaahi: THAT'S NOT ALL YOU ARE GOING TO EUROPE FOR! BAZINNNNNG! @miimp: That costco idea is pretty genius. @CathyLong: Reward of nothing? wtf? You don't get any pleasure of crushing and annoying those who are clearly inferior to you intellectually/philosphically/scientifically and anyother thing you can add the suffix "ally" to ? And wtf?! since when was Dunkin more than starbucks in the city? Also where in NYC do you live? One of my friends was a dominatrix at some dungeon in brooklyn. She was dating a good friend of mine from high school. Also i used to hang out on Bleecker and st marks all the time. Considering how often i was in NYC i never fucking memorized the layout. Also you are batshit insane. @Paul_Is_Drunk: I got to say the coffee i had in Italy was fucking amazing. Powerful and bursting with flavor. I was even more please when i learned that the coffee my family's restaurant "italian" cofee tasted exactly like the coffee i had in amalfi.

It’s still one of the best managed and successful companies in America…excuse me, now the world. While I don’t drink their coffee (way too many calories), you have to admit, they’re doing everything right as a business.

@CathyLong: I’ve been there. I’m not bandwagon jumping. Funny thing about opinions, not everyone’s is the same. Just because you like it doesn’t mean those who don’t are “bandwagon jumping”.
And, really, it’s not that I think their coffee is bad. It’s just ludicrously overpriced.

$2 at 7-11 will get you a 20oz coffee and two breakfast taquitos. $2 at Starbucks will get you a rice crispy and a half.

@Puulaahi:

…typical stuffy New Yorker attitude when it comes to her love of coffee. she can have her generic burnt tasting coffee while I enjoy my new local independent place that moved in that roasts there own coffee and has the best hot chocolate I have ever had…

You might want to rephrase that. I’m trying to find a way to read that passage and not be a tad miffed. New Yorkers definitely have an attitude that we are proud to tell everyone about; we’re pretty sure it’s the best city in the world and we do love our magazine, BUT apparently we’re not the only w/ that attitude…hmmmm?

I never pay for Starbucks. I keep my last cup and go to one and say, “Hey, I’m really sorry to be like a bitch about this, I know how annoying it is, but I got this at the Starbucks (name another location nearby) and it was, well, it was weird tasting, I think the milk got scorched or reheated or something…” Every single time, because it is their company policy, they will *enthusiastically* offer to remake the drink for me, at no charge. They take the old cup and toss it, and I save the new one after I am done, to repeat the process at a different Starbucks. Only chumps pay chump prices for chump coffee.

This wouldn’t work if you are the sort of douchebot that is a recognizably regular customer.

I think the majority of coffee places are over priced. Starbucks doesn’t seem all that expensive in comparison to anywhere else. I tried the McDonalds flavored iced latte, after hearing about their “four bucks is dumb” ad, and it tasted horrible. I believe it ended up costing more per ounce than Starbucks. I was very disappointed. I am always willing to try local coffee places. But I usually return to Starbucks. I buy the Costco (5) $20 gift cards for $80.00. I drink the Frappachino with an add shot. Its something I treat myself to. I make my regular coffee at home… I have to admit I do not care for Starbucks coffee blends… I am still looking for a decent coffee to make at home.
