Ok, Ok, I admit it….

Being quite contradictory and oppositional, I often find myself going against hip trends. I have shunned Starbucks since its inception, mostly due to the fact that living so close to Miami, it was fairly easy to find good espresso (or cubano) for $0.50, $.075 tops. So, paying $2 for the same thing was simply outrageous.
I now live in an little town outside Atlanta. The best coffee I’m going to get, period, is Starbucks. I have tried the cheaper coffee, and it is, truthfully, downright foul. What do you think happens when you take already weak coffee, water it waaaay down, and let it bake on a burner for hours on end?
So…… I admit it….. Starbucks coffee is pretty damn good. I have become a regular patron. There, I said it.

i just dont like Starbucks coffee. never mind the fact that they try to rob you with their prices. it just doesnt taste good. i would rather have a dunkindonuts or mcdonalds coffee. of course, none of it comes close to my homemade cafe con leche. :yum:

Oh it is a total ripoff. I haven’t changed my mind about THAT (see my tags?). When you stick to the plain brewed coffees it’s not soooo bad… but when you start getting into the blended/icy/trendy things, it gets ridiculous.
Case in point, the famous “Chai Latte”. My first experience with this Chai Latte came from finding a fancy organic chai concentrate for sale @ the supermarket. It was darn tasty. Because it was concentrated, this little $2 carton lasted a good month, if not more.
After having this good experience with tea -which is rare for me, since I am not very fond of the drink- I decided to give Starbucks tea a go. $3+ for a small- excuse me… “tall” Chai Latte. *choke*! Er…. no thanks……
