in all honesty, you should just roast your own, it's pretty easy and relatively cheap and nothing you buy at a store will be as fresh

starbucks has no choice but to have terrible ashy tasting coffee bc thats the only way to make their poo poo taste "like home" year-round, world-round: roasted to poo poo, erasing all differences between locations/growers/time of harvest

its not as if their customers care bc they add syrup and cream until theres only a suggestion of the taste of coffee left

that's bc all the dark roasts are like 50% from sumatra. ask for a pourover of an african coffee and it will be good.

Also it's like twice as expensive as proper cafes. Dumb idiots go to Starbucks.
Why does everyone say this? Like on the rare occasions I get coffee I tend to either get drip black or a black americano, at starbucks this is cheap, at any local coffee shop it will probably be at least 50% more expensive, if not twice as much.

As far as quality I mean it's okay, black coffee is kinda just black coffee to me. I'll drink gas station pots and the taste never seems too bad. I guess more expensive places are a bit less bitter but I don't really mind the taste of bitter.

Dutch Bros claims to be anything it isn't. It's drive-thru coffee out of a windmill, and you can potentially order meth. If you can't enjoy that you have brain problems!

gently caress Charbucks and their thermonuclear roasting process. gently caress all of the hipsters with their MacBook Pros there. gently caress all the soccer moms who just got there after yoga/phoning it in at the gym and then ordering a triple quarenta half calf soy caramel frappiato with extra whip to offset whatever minimal amount of good they did at the gym/yoga studio. gently caress their poo poo coffee, gently caress the people who think it's, good and hail satan.

Dunks is way worse though. I've seriously never dealt with people who speak no language at all and manage to both get your order totally wrong on top of pouring the coffee around the outside of the cup.

My favorite thing about Dunks is when the staff is almost entirely ethnically homogenous. Like the Somali Dunks, the Lebanese Dunks, the Indian Dunks, the Korean dunks, etc. Anyone can own a Dunks.

Here's the thing with Starbucks: I can't say poo poo about their regular coffee, honestly, but their fraps are pretty drat good... tasting anyway.

They are absolute poo poo for you.

I started drinking one every day for a few months just to grab a drink with co-workers and I must have gained like 15 pounds in like two months. Once I figured out the origin and cut back to like "once a month" it came right back off, surprisingly. In fact it was kind of creepy how it came right off without even adding any exercise or anything you'd usually need.

Anyway long story short.. read the loving calorie counts, I guess, and avoid things that have half as much as a deep fried onion loaf in your drink.

I wish there was a Starbucks in every block here, like it's in NYC, so I could drink a Caramel Macchiato every single morning. I'd go blind and fat from diabetes, sure, but it'd be worth it.

Fun fact: you can ask the Starbucks barista to make the coffee fresh and exactly how you want it and they have to do it. So it's actually not too bad if you're willing to wait a bit.

Calling the people attending a Starbucks "baristas" is pretty much the same as calling a McDonalds burger flipper a "grill artisan".
