The Coffee thread

I can't do starbucks coffee.  I don't like it because it's too bitter.  However, I am noticing a lot of places display "we proudly brew starbucks coffee" in their establishment.

So, for those of you who do starbucks, please post your favorite drinks so I can maybe start liking it.

I know just to drink it with cream and sugar it is way too bitter/strong for me.

Let's say I keep 7-eleven coffee in business.      Regular coffee with French Vanilla cream is my favorite.

But if you have a favorite  HOT starbucks drink (NOT COLD), post it here

I used to make coffee or espresso for a living.  I will agree with you on their roast it is a very dark roast and has a very strong taste.  What I might suggest is to upsize your cup and downsize your coffee shot from a double to a single when you r stopping for Starbucks.  I don't care for their chocolate either as it is semi-sweet, which if you are a mocha drinker this  will also add to the bitter taste of the coffee.  I really like to have a hot chocolate made with white chocolate and a shot of their razzleberry, (no coffee) it's excellent if you just want a warm drink in the morning.

Espresso is my favorite. If you drink it after dinner plan on having an all nighter!

I find Starbucks to taste like tar in a cup.  I'm a Dunkin Donuts gal!

[Axl4Prez2004]

How do you people drink that stuff?  Bluckkk.  No thanks.  I remember trying it the morning of a big exam back in grad school...I never had coffee so I decided to have 3 monster cups.  I had to pee every 30 minutes!  I'll save the urinary urgency for my nineties hopefully!

I have an extremely clean house...that's all I'm sayin'.

I know where every bathroom is, in the Tampa Bay area.

I refuse to drink Starbucks!!! Any Arabica bean coffee is good if the beans are prepared properly(read not burnt ...). A lot of companies cut the beans with Robusta which gives coffee that taste that smells like cat piss.

I have noticed that, sometimes, coffee does smell like cat piss!     No shit!  (sniff..sniff...what's that smell?  Oh God, it's my coffee!)

I don't drink Starbucks, so couldn't tell you anything, here!  The best coffee is my own, made at home.

I like 8'Clock bean, Starbucks, Royal Cup.

Black.

Starbucks coffee is a little wierd.  It does taste like shit, but I was hooked on that shit for a good 2 years.  I had to slowly wean myself off of it.  I'm convinced they lace it with speed or something.

[COMAMOTIVE]

I'm a true coffee addict, so I can shed some light here

I walk into Starbucks and order a Venti - Black    I always laugh when the worker questions me again to make sure I don't want " Room for Milk"
Sometimes, I actually order a Venti Black with a shot of Espress in it. 
I love the darker, Starbucks style coffee and prefer it over Dunkin Donuts any day

Seattle's Best is very good too.

I throw down about 8 cups of Black Coffee a day and I'm not an exciteable or nervous type of guy , at all

I can drink a cup or two at 7 or 8 pm and still crash with no problems at 11 pm if I choose to

And SLPUNK - I also know where every clean restroom is, within a 30 mile radius!

Nah man, not only can I scope out bathrooms, I know which ones are the cleanest and most spacious!

Girl after my own heart.

If I'm drinking coffee made outside my own house (which is rare), it's DD coffee.  Heck, we buy the bags of DD coffee beans and make THAT at home, sometimes.  It's the only "store bought" coffee that I find "drinkable".

You all want good coffee:

Find some good Jamaican Blue Mountain (it's coffee, you drug addled pot heads).

Get a good vacuum pot and brew away.

Heaven in a cup.

French Press is always awesome too!

[AxlsMainMan]

You Yanks' are missing out on the good stuff

[Jessica]

Milk coffee like a Latte with either vanilla or hazelnut in it, spray a little choc powder up on top as well and i'm happy

Yes, that JBM stuff is awesome.  I bought some when I took a cruise to Jamaica.

Starbucks is great if you're looking to get some good ole American road rage on.
