More coffee snobbery brought about by people with too much time and too much money on their hands. I won't step foot in a Star "gonna take your" bucks and see no reason to follow the lemmings to a store of this type either. Duncan Donuts here I come. Low prices, great coffee. A regular working class coffee shop.
I buy green beans and roast my own at home.
Good taste, cheap price and no hipsters involved  8)
Oh yes, and yet ANOTHER room with not a stitch of sound absorption.
My ears are so...so tired of "noisy" restaurants that I refuse to give them my money.
Minimalist...another word for Cheap

I'll admit to drinking Starbucks regularly... I haven't found anything I like better than their Pikes Place Roast, but I do make it myself in the Keurig at work. :-)


P.S. It's 5:00pm and I just got off work!! Hooray! ;-)

The problem with Starbucks is the price combined with the crappy tasting bitter coffee which the yupsters associate with good taste. Worst atmosphere and loudest crowd noise has to be any Cheese Cake Factory with a Starbucks nearby.

if i need a caffeine jolt, my preference is some green or maté tea, as i do not digest coffee very well.  Starbucks and dunkin donuts exist over here, but largely for the tourists and impressionable fools.  Everyone else goes to a bakery or cafe.  It's nice to support owner-operated establishments (there are of course bakery chains here, too)

Some people seem to treat coffee like a religion.  The reality is that if you are a regular coffee drinker, all it does is temporarily bring you up to the same level you would have been if you were not a coffee drinker.

The people who say that they need a coffee to get them going first thing in the morning would be better off drinking water instead.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink coffee, then... they wake up, and that's as good as they'll feel all day!

The best thing about not being a coffee drinker is waking up and looking forward to a cup of tea.

Caffeine is caffeine, not matter what we call the liquid it's in.

Nowhere near as much in tea as there is in coffee.

About 11mg in a cup of tea compared with 40mg in coffee.  Of course, you can get decaffeinated versions of both!

I just like coffee. The caffeine is just a benefit. :-) I generally try to limit myself to 2 cups per day so I don't have too much caffeine.
