I'd say they burn it so they can get away with using smaller qunatities
of lower quality coffee and still have a cup that has a remote
resemblence to real coffee.

If Starbucks is so bad, how come there's one on every corner? They
seem to be busy.

Are you under the impression that McDonald's serve the best beef?

Starbucks is the very embodiment of the liberal snob
philosophy. They will buy themselves cups of coffee
all day long for close to four bucks a pop but will
not give a dime to some poor blind man with his
cup on the street corner. Then they have the nerve
to claim they fight for the oppressed and identify
with the 'little guy'. What a joke!

Starbuck's ahs a booth at our local superstore (Meijer) so while we were
shopping the other day, Mr Sails went to buy us a cup....when we tasted it,
we thought it burned and returned it and asked for our money back (I will
not pay for crap...) The woman was astounded that we thought the coffee was
bad and insisted that there was no way it could be burned. I told her that
if it wasn't burned then someone needed to wash out their brew machine
because the oils had collected and made the coffee bitter. She still argued
until I finally said I wanted to speak to her manager. What is it with
clerks arguing with customers nowadays? What ever happened to the customer
always being right (not that they are, but clerks should just say "yes,
ma'am and shut up....) The coffee was really bad...you would have had to eat
a jar of TUMS if you'd drunk it all....

We must get a deal on Starbuck's here. It's only 2 bucks a large cup....the
cappuccino and latte are expensive, though...when out, my favorite coffee is
gas station/convenience store coffee...Speedway is good....as is Wesco, but
I think that's only in West MI...the BP station has rotten coffee....

Speaking of oil, Scout, did you see any on the Del. from that spill?
How far up is it?

Don't listen to Scotty, he's just jealous! I made my own out of an

How long did the 300 gallons of oil burn?

I like to start every day off with a big mug of Folgers Classic roast with a

Good stuff.

Doug you have it right again. I say if you want to be snobbish about
something make it worthwhile. Now being from the great PNW I'm proud to
be
a bona fide Seattle Coffee Snob. Ahhhh...a good dark roast is just the
thing when properly made. None of that commercialized Starbucks Crap-ola.
We sensitive palates demand and get better fare. Starbucks is for the
rest
of the planet. On the other hand Doug beer snobs aren't all that bad.
They
don't hold a candle to California Snobs who exist only because they think
a
't' is a 'b.'

We already have enough beer snobs on this NG.

I like Rolling Rock. It's not in the running for Best Beer In The World
but (as even Mooron acknowledged) a cold one on a hot day really hits
the spot.

Beer snobbery is just plain dumb. There are much more important things
to get snobby about. Besides, if I try to be a good host and stock four
or five kinds of beer on the boat, and guests turn up their nose at all
choices, then they can always drink water. Or tea.

too true Katy,

Milk is a nominal term here. It's really a vegetable product, like rum, only
not as sweet.
