I have never gone to Starbucks and never will. 10 years ago I got a $10 gift card and gave it away.

Contrary to popular belief, Starbuck's coffee is not expensive. I buy a 40 oz bag from BJ's for $14, and it lasts us months, it is literally pennies per mug.
What is expensive is the "Starbuck's experience" that you get when you go to a brick & mortar store and order your fancy beverage. I love telling that to annoying millennials because it makes their skin crawl. The very idea that a big American corporation has their desires dialed in and makes big profits from it is anathema to their whole existence. |

The only time I drink Starbucks these days is when I am in an airport...so very rarely. I like their Peppermint mochas.
When all the crap started about them being anti-Christmas, I made them write "Merry Christmas" on my plain red cup. |

Starbucks is intentionally roasted very dark as majority of orders are cut with milk or some flavored syrup. Most who like “just coffee” are not big fans. Some of their lighter roasts and drip preparations are good. Their clover brewing system is as good as it gets but the equipment is not available to mortals.
I roast my own and buy green in 100-150 pound bags. |

Starbucks can't hurt but burn the crap outta their beans. Problem is: Burnt beans have less caffeine than a light or medium roast.
We have a 2-3 places in town that roast their own beans and do not burn them. Delicious too. AND... they ship. https://www.kaffeeklatsch.com/ LOTS of amazing flavors and beans from all over. My wife particularly likes their house blend and their breakfast blends. She has others, but those are the ones she asks for when I ask what flavor she wants me to pick up. |

I'm partial to coffee with chicory. It's smooth, not bitter, and it can be brewed weaker while still presenting as robust and full bodied.
This works for me, because I can drink a whole pot of coffee throughout the day if it's available, and I don't worry about getting jittery, or having to pee every 5 minutes. I got a SB gift card a few years ago, and it still has a balance, although it's so old it cracked and broke in half. Their coffee is bitter, but super strong when served black and unsweetened, my preferred way to drink it. One large cup of their coffee will definitely give you a jolt. I guess it's comparable to sipping on a couple of beers all morning, vs. doing a double shot of hard liquor. |

I always get triple shots in my STARBUCK'S so it still tastes like coffee through all the added crap.
