Not gonna lie, I brew Starbucks Pike Place coffee every morning, it's literally amazing, and I drink it without cream or sugar. It's perfect.

damn guys you've been chatty since the last time i was on. O_o
 
Apparently coffee is a popular subject. .w.

And wow Starbucks is super strong, kudos to you.. I have to put so many things into Starbucks coffee when I drink it. Which probably means I should just.. not.. drink it. xD;
 
I rarely go to Starbucks even though there is one at my university's library. I'm perfectly content having three square meals a day than to waste it on a cup of coffee lol. I don't know how much they actually cost, but I'd rather not know.

Like, over here, going to Starbucks is like a luxury haha, but more to the middle than the high class luxury.

Starbucks is strong? Since when?

I mean, I only ever have frapps from there, so I wouldn't know if it's like, a latte or an expresso or something.

Yeeess. Their expresso and black coffees are strong, I mean. If you get frapps it's not that bad.
 
Starbucks in my neck of the woods got drastically sliced in half a few years back. It could not stand up to competition from a locally-run coffee bar chain and it ended up losing to said competition.

However, it seems like you guys in the US have such crazy stuff there with all those flavors.
 
Over here, Starbucks is quite popular (Germany, that is), but in England it saw a big competition to Costa Coffee, to which it usually lost. So it's safe to say I haven't had much experience with Starbucks.
 
Honestly Starbucks over here isn't that big of a deal here - mediocre and overhyped. We don't really have all those fancy extra flavours that america has, but here there are at least more than a dozen places to get better beverages for a lot cheaper. I'm not much of a coffee person myself, but a lot of people I know from friends, school, community or whatever share somewhat the same idea. Not to mention overpriced as shit for mediocre beverages and food.
 
Starbucks isn't big here at all. I guess there are some in the big cities? But in your average Swedish town, you're much more likely to find an Espresso House.
 
Starbucks was literally non-existent in my hometown in England until recently. When I went back at Christmas there was one in the closest city, but that's it. There may be another around, but they're not popular or well known. Costa Coffee is the biggest coffee shop I know of in England. Those are literally everywhere.

From a quick glance at Costa Coffee's website, they seem like basically the English version of Starbucks...could be wrong, but again, that's just a quick glance. :P

You're spot on the money there. They're the reason Starbucks can't explode in England, because Costa has already done what they do XD
 
In England McDonalds coffee is drunk quite a bit. It's cheap, it's easy to get (drive thru, and McDonalds chains are everywhere too) and apparently, according to my dad, it's not that bad.
 
Yeah, I often drink McDonalds coffee. If I work weekends, only a really expensive shop is open on campus, so I head to McD instead for my hourly fix 8) It's good, actually. Not bad, at least.

Haha, I remember seeing Costa everywhere when I was in the UK.
 
I'm so waiting for the S'mores frappe. It sounds so delicious. <3 Java Chip and White Chocolate Mocha are two of my favorites.

Oh, has anyone tried the Tiramisu Latte? It's SO DELICIOUS. It's like $4 for a Tall but it's worth the taste.
 
^honestly that was me at first when I was offered coffee. Then everything changed when I drank my first cup when I started high school. My life changed after that lmao.
 
I still hold that if I haven't gotten into drinking coffee by now, I probably never will. Too bitter for me in general. :(

I mean, I have drank coffee before, but not by itself. It's always been in some super sugary drink with lots of chocolate or whatever so yeah. That's about the only way I'll drink it, I'm afraid, since I don't mind the flavor in small amounts but anything more I just can't handle.
