In their quest to look cool, they drink the burnt-roast coffee of Starbucks. The worse coffee with the best advertising the world has ever seen.

I despise all coffee, but my hubby’s opinion of Starbucks is that it tastes like burnt tires. 😀🤭

well, when each of their three roasting facilities nationwide crank out about two MILLION poindsof roasted whatever it it per week, there s no way quality can be part of the equation.

A few years bck I was in Seattle attending the annual coffee industry trade show and cinvention at the Seattle Centre. There was a new "Charbux" "Experiance Bar" just four blocks uo the hill so I decided I'd go have a look see. I noticed an interesting looking coffee in the bin, frm Guatemala. No more info.I asked the cute person behind the counter if she knew what part of Guatalma that came from, or what variety the beans were. She loked at me as if I had addressed her in swahili. then pointed to the far lower end of the store.. perhaps down at "the Experience Bar" they might be able to answer your questions. I walked on down, the chap was playing with a vecuum brewer. I asked if he had te Guatemalan, he said yes and pointed to it. I posed my questions to him and he did not know the answers. BUT, he said, I am just getting ready to brew some f that with the vacuum brewer.

How much for a cup? TWELVE DOLLARS. I managed to stifle a heavy choking reflex. He knew I was there for the cinvention as he saw my floor badge. I said "I think I'll pass". He said fine. BUT, since I am going to brew on this device anyway if you like I will just hand you a cup when its done. Oh that would be wonderful. I waited... bad decision. That was one of the worst cups I've had anywhere. Harsh, bitter, seriously overextracted... little real flavour, only tasted mostly defects. I was glad he did ot ask my opinion of his show-off "experience" coffee. My report would have put a different spin on the monniker "experience".

If it were not for aggressive and dear marketing. the Sign of the Green Mer-Thing" would be relegated to the ash heap of defunct trademarks such as Edsel, NSU, Esso, Goliath, maybe even Bud Lite.

I do occasionally patronize Starbucks’s but their coffee isn’t anything I’d order, it is just as you stated Robin!

I only order espresso based drinks there, never drip coffee. I do like that you can customize the drinks and can find them anywhere. But my favorite is my local small business non chain coffee shop ❤️ They’re the best! It’s like Cheers with (really good) coffee instead of alcohol, I always say 😁 They know my name and they’re glad I came. They know my drink preferences. It’s awesome ❤️

It’s so great to have a place like that! I love feeling like it’s a place where they know me by name, remember my preferences, and are happy to see me 🥰

Starbucks coffee sucks. It’s so acidic and sour don’t understand why people like this coffee. I make my bullet proof Mentalist coffee so good and smooth caramel finish doesn’t compare to Starbucks. I only buy Starbucks when forced or running short on time.

Paula Weiss's avatar

absolutely agree. Glad to see someone else calling it "acidic," because that's what it is. You have to order some frilly frothy drink at Starbucks to make it drinkable, which I don't.

I love how I make my coffee: Trader Joe's coffee drip brewed just right, like a tea making ceremony. I add either some coconut oil or butter, then honey and top it off with half and half.

I agree about the regular coffee but the espresso drinks are good imo. And I really like their nitro cold brew. Very smooth and not bitter.

Sometimes I regift them but I always seem to be given starbuck gift cards. I do use them because otherwise that's money in in Starbuck's "bank" which has billions.

Oh no! Starbucks is my favorite! Been drinking Starbucks since the only way you could get it was in the mail from Seattle. PS Not a leftie, though I am left handed

RunningLogic's avatar

I honestly really hate the association of where you shop to your politics. Can’t we just like what we like? I’m not a lefty because I occasionally go to Starbucks. When I’m traveling they are a consistent predictable choice. Their panini are way better than any gas station sandwich or most fast food I’ve had, so I’d rather get a quick bite to eat there.

Sadly, our nation has been "creeping toward totalitarianism" for the past 6 decades!! My soul weeps for our young people (who, for the most part have NO IDEA of our country's FOUNDING PRINCIPLES--thanks to the flotsam and Marxist nonsense they are being fed in our institutions of "higher" learning.)

I hope the Childers household recovers quickly. In my heavily boosted area, Covid is raging. There have been family and friends suffering from lung infections (pneumonia, RSV, who knows) after a bout with Covid. I’m sure Ivermectin is still considered taboo. I think immune systems are degrading with way too many boosters.

AngelaK's avatar

I had covid for 2 weeks. Thank God, recovered 💯

Fever and headache for a day and a half, a bit of head cold stuff which was mild. no sore throat. no cough, no aches or pains, worst symptoms were weakness, a bit of altered taste, and . a nausea lack of appetite I can only compare to the first months of pregnancy.

My husband had it for 3 days, and is 💯.

NO VACCINES OR BOOSTERS.

How do you know it was the plague , rather than the seasonal sniffles. Seriously, convid was a dead duck and it’s still being discussed on this “awake” forum. I despair sometimes. Kudos on not taking the extra toxic poison, but be mindful of all the other toxic stuff you/we all consume.

Took the test. Did not feel like a normal cold either. It was rather strange.

Look what kary Mullis (the inventor) said about the PCR test as a diagnostic and work your way out from there. There was no pandemic, just a PCR induced fugazi.

I wish you well, but, seriously, forget about the C word, it’s all BS

AngelaK's avatar

The C word gave me 10 days of stress free recuperation from work.

I believe it is a different virus, a bioengineered one. I felt the difference.

I also had a few people I know die in the initial days, so I will agree to disagree.

I felt the same, when I had it in '22. It was unlike any other 'flu, and had a very dark, alien quality ~ seriously.

Frontera Lupita's avatar

Me the same in mid year in 22. Had very weird symptoms for three weeks…each week was different. Took three weeks to feel back to my regular energy . Not like any ‘sickness’ I have ever had. (I’m over 70.)

Beca Del Oeste's avatar

Yes, but when it’s statistically no worse than anything that has ever came before, then it’s a nothing burger, despite anecdotes.

Again we are on similar tracks, I thought similarly to you too.

Regardless, whether you choose to look into it further or not, I hope everything is and remains well for you and yours.

I was thinking the same when I read that portion of the article. We seem to forget that "viruses" do not evolve this quickly... but now we are ready to believe that they do. I had a crazy "flu" in 2016 the likes of which I had never had before - literally felt like my DNA was hacked. Today, people would call it CV. The tests do not recognize CV they simply recognize certain biological fragments that we all have in our bodies at one time or another. Two people with identical symptoms can test and one is neg while the other is pos. It was the same with HiV tests telling people they were positive and ruining their lives. We still have such a long way to go...

Yes, all I see from most of the related comments here is fear. Only from a different angle. I guess the clue is in the title of the forum…

Expand full comment
Banjocat's avatar

The fear keeps the spell in tact. Keeps the body at a lower frequency causing any illness/detox to intensify. Words and thoughts are so powerful. We stop believing in the lie (antibody/pcr testing, pandemic, vaccines, word spells) and the grip these locusts have over people will disintegrate. Thanks for sharing a different point of view. :) banjocatcreative.com

I agree it felt very different than any other cold I've had, although I hardly get any. My normal temp is around 97° and during the Wuhan Event it hovered around 100° but I didn't feel hot. Very odd.

My husband read about a human (in Florida? not sure) who caught the bubonic plague from his cat, who got it from a rat. All we need now is bubonic plague stalking the country. The human's case is treatable, not sure about the cat.
