If the Starbucks coffees are too strong for you' then you're a girlie-girl.

Actually, Mr Nofinger, this is one point I have to agree with him on.
Shocking eh? Starbucks tastes like it was brewed two days ago and kept warm. Awful stuff.


To me, the coffee tastes like the bean was burned.

The few times I tried Starbucks, I got that impression, too.

Also, if I am on the road locally and want a cup of coffee, I can get
decent coffee at WaWa or some other place for a buck and change. I don't
know what Starbucks gets for a cup of coffee these days, but I'm
guessing it is at least $3.00. Since plain coffee suits my taste, I
can't think of any reason why I'd want to pay a premium for a cup of
"fancy" coffee.

Casey's coffee is pretty good too. They have Columbian and French roast and those are my favorites and even their house blend isn't bad. I can't stand hazelnut though...

Try the Verona. It's strong, but very smooth.

I can take my cup to 7/11 and get good coffee for 99 cents. And not deal
with some dropout called a barista for $2.
