Had no idea there were that many of them! I know most people love their coffee but I find it a bit too strong. I'm a Dunkin' Donuts kind of girl!

A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

I also find it too strong...about the only time I drink it is when I'm in Las Vegas because there's a Starbucks right by the elevator in the hotel where I stay. Makes it easy to get my morning coffee vs going to the restaurant.

    Quoting  :

My daily consumption is only 2 cups, in the morning. I splurge on the coffee, getting organic Sumatran from a local small batch roaster, roasted dark enough for the oils to be exuded and coat the beans with a sheen. I grind the beans myself and use a French press to make the coffee.

It's a bit time consuming, but I like the ritual and love the richness and smoothness of the result.

Look at all those Starbucks in Texas, they must be in every town and city in the state. There is one I drive past on the way to the grocery store and one morning I saw almost a mile of cars blocking the right lane to get in there. I don't care for their coffee, too strong and bitter tasting, oh yeah, let's not forget the price of that coffee.

Yeah, there are long lines in the mornings at the Starbucks here too. I never get coffee there.

The prices are indeed atrocious....I do online surveys, win points, use the points to buy credits for Starbucks, cash them in when I'm in Vegas. My guess is every other place that sells coffee thanks Starbucks for high prices...it's probably enabled them to raise their prices and make higher profits than possible without the high cost for Starbucks.

I've only had Starbucks one time. I took a nice sip of that and swallowed, walked up to the counter and asked them to pour half out and add water. Then it was ok.

Whenever I pass one I remember that.

Yeah, it's got a real edge on it...quite a surprise for someone drinking it for the 1st time. They also offer a 'blonde' coffee...but I think it's too weak.

I haven't been into Starbucks in a long time. I love a nice latte, just not too keen on theirs. There are 50 Starbucks in the Dublin area alone , 21 of those are in the city centre .

I am not a huge fan of Starbucks. there is no year round coffee shop here since covid, but our local high schoolers ran one before covid to rise money for school programs and gain job experience. Hopefully, it will open again soon.
Eidleweiss in Iron Mountain, MI is the absolute best.
