Is Starbucks coffee really that good???   

I have tried Starbucks and I don't like it at all. I find it to be very strong coffee with a very bitter after taste. I prefer Tim Horton's. My of my circle of friends seem to be die hard Starbucks fans but we get along anyway...lol

I honestly have never tasted Starbucks coffee. I cannot see paying that for coffee. I don't care for flavors added, so it really doesn't matter to me.

Starbucks here in Australia is popular with teenagers, but if you want a really good coffee that doesn't feel 'mass-produced' you will find an independent coffee house you really like and stick with it. I hate going anywhere other than my two usual spots (one near work, one near home) as they know me, and know how I like my coffee :)

I only have had a couple of cups.....way too strong for me. I like mine a bit on the light side....however.....their chai tea rocks! That is what got me started on Chai in the first place and their desserts/coffee cakes etc are very good. But I don't like paying the prices they have either....ours here in town actually went out of business and it's soon going to be a Kentucky fried chicken.....

i have never had a coffe at starbucks. what i hear it is to expensive for me, but i will stay with wendys or Mcdonalds.there are not any starbucks close to me anyway.

I practically lived in Starbucks when I was in college. It's probably a good thing that you haven't been there...it's quite expensive and extremely addictive. I used to blow at least a hundred dollars a month on Starbucks coffee. While their coffee is not that great, Starbucks does have a few advantages. It is indeed the fast food of coffee, and that is the appeal of it- you can grab it on the go so it's extremely convenient. Also, they have a lot of specialty mixed drinks that many independently- ran coffee shops do not offer. IF you end up going though, you might want to try the iced green tea latte. It is to die for!
