Is Starbucks coffee really that good??? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 1,322 out of 2,119 in coffee1 month ago

Ok, so after I dropped my son off at school today I had to run into the grocery store to get a few things I still needed for dinner tonight... and in front of my grocery store is a little shopping mall that has a Starbucks in it.

Now I normally dont pay attention to much to this little shopping mall because..
1) I never have any extra money to go there
2) It also has a restauraunt that doesnt open until later and I we dont eat there much


But today, I was thinking they must be giving something away, there MUST have been 8 cars at least in the drive thru!!shocked

So this got me thinking...since I have never had a Starbucks coffee or have never been in a Starbucks for that matter.... Is there coffee really that good??

Do you buy coffee from Starbucks?? Do you have a coffee place that you go to?? I know Mcdonalds are now selling coffees and they said last year that it hurt Starbucks business because they are cheaper but still a good coffee.... but according to the line here I wouldnt think so!! confused

Did you use to go to a certain place to buy a coffee and now get it somewhere else because of price/quality??

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

My husband and my Mother in Law are big coffee drinks and they prefer Tim Hortons too... I am not a coffee drinker myself but I have never been to a starbucks... so I dont know what the hype is all about!! blinklol

thanks for the response and have a great day!! happy

I only have one cup of coffee in the mornings and that is it for me. So I can't say I am a big coffee drinker either. I don't know what the hype is all about to coffee drinkers. My hubby prefers Timmy's too...When Starbucks is brought up, it sends him into a sarcastic rant...lol He is a coffee drinker.

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.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 1,322 out of 2,119 in coffee  1 month ago

I havent either....so I dont know what the fuss is all about and I am not a big coffee drinker myself so it isnt something that I feel I am missing out on as well.

besides they said on the news this year that Mcdonalds coffees are really good and half the price... not that I get it from there either!! rolleyes but it struck me odd that this line was so long for there coffee!!

thanks for the response and have a great day!! happy

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:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 1,322 out of 2,119 in coffee  1 month ago

that is exactly how I would be too!!! go with what I like over what is the name of the place...and especially when they get to know you, they make it the way you like it!!! wink

thanks for the response and have a great day!! happy

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 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!
