Starbucks. Hands down, discussion over.
Who Has The Best Coffee?

I like Starbucks, and especially like my vanilla latte, but… I’d make a strong pitch for Illy coffee as the best. Mostly we make it at home, though you see occasional Illy cafes and of course it’s served in a lot of places. But for making it at home, it’s outstanding.

Whaaat? Starbucks?!?! No way. The winner is Dunk-n-Donuts hands down. Starbucks LITERALLY brews their coffee to be less desirable in hopes that you will buy some $6 frou frou drink. Their business model is designed to herd the customer away from a simple cup of coffee which is why the coffee is intentionally brewed with it’s burnt taste.
Are you crazy? You think that toilet-water-brewed Dunkin Donuts coffee is better? Also, your “theory” on the coffee being deliberately bad is absurd. For starters, it’s great coffee, and second, espresso and milk-based drinks cost more to make, and I would guess the profit margin on drip-coffee is comparable, if not better than that on espresso drinks.
dunkin dounuts all the way star bucks is way to over rated and they are over priced for just a grande coffee. its ridiculous!! and at dunkin you can get donuts too with is always which is a plus. Also im sorry you dont like our toliet brewed coffee but id rather have that then over priced coffee i can make at home.

Caribou used to be the best, but then they got bought by Peet’s and that ruined the entire chain.
Oh for Peet’s sake. Peet’s is way better than Caribou ever was. Toodle loo, Caribou.

For home brew, I really like the reasonably priced Seattle’s Best. Truly the best I have found–my brother introduced me to it, good stuff! If I want a cuppa Joe when I out and about (I like my coffee, like I like my men–straight and strong), I prefer McDonald’s. Sounds daft, I know, but they brew up a fine cup–never bitter and not TOO strong. I wouldn’t thank you for a cup of Dunkin’, unless it’s something sweet or iced (and sweet)–their straight coffee is just too bitter for me. As for Starbucks, well, I don’t even know what to order when I go there–which if RARE! Their straight coffee is just plain awful, and the fancy stuff has such a fancy price that I can’t justify it on my budget.
Most people who claim a dislike for Starbucks say it’s because the coffee is “too strong” which is usually their way of saying it’s a darker roast than they like. Starbucks offers three different roasts, Blonde, Mild, and Bold, to suit the various tastes. Try a blonde or mild roast next time.
That is true… It is a common misconception of coffee roasting that darker roast is more caffeine. I hate it when people say “Starbucks coffee is too strong, I can’t handle the extra caffeine.”As a former employee of Starbucks, I know all about the processing of roasting and how it affects caffeine content. But most people assume stronger flavor (as in darker roast) is more caffeine.
Starbucks is not too strong. THEY BURN their bean. Their coffee is BITTER.
You can have light, medium or dark roast coffee and not have it be like they make it.
Try any one of these and you’ll be a believer: Philz, Stumptown, BlueBottle, Ritual Roast. I’ve had Starbucks. Until you try from this list, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Starbucks is too bitter. More importantly, I hate their stupid affectations: tall, grande, and whatever the third is. My minor point of rebellion, when I have no choice other than Starbucks, is that I refuse to learn their menu or their nomenclature.
That is part of my deal, too. I guess I’m just not that grand to learn all the menu choices at Starbucks. I lived in England for several years–couldn’t get a decent cup of coffee. When I came home on visits, the only thing I could find in an airport was Starbucks. Might as well have stayed in England for that coffee!

Peet’s coffee for me. Best thing. I switched from Starbucks- it’s now my second choice.
