As a "coffee snob" myself, I cannot STAND Starbucks coffee, it tastes burned to me. I cold brew my own (less acid, brings out the natural sweetness) and now detest any inferior coffee when I'm out in public.
Plus there is the ever-present wokeness at Starbucks that I started noticing a few years ago, before I started my cold brew process. Back then Starbucks had cultivated a sort of hip reputation, but all I really wanted back then was a simple cup of coffee, black, and a quiet place to read or use my laptop on their WiFi. Instead it was latte this, frappachino that, grande, etc, and I refused to learn their language.
Good riddance.
Their own language was the whole reason I avoided this place to begin with! I remember YEARS ago, like when we were first hearing of Starbucks, being sent by a group of friends with this "grande" "Latte" and whatever-ey words I was supposed to use. I stumbled a lot, the cashier lady was nice and helped me out. I still sweat going to Starbucks if I have to, and will say "the largest size" or "medium" and they usually look a little annoyed I am not speaking their language. It's embarrassingly ridiculous that their "hip" words and foo foo coffee has infiltrated our society. By the way, if I HAVE to go, for whatever reason, I will get a tea for like $2.50. it's not bad and not a liquid candy bar.
It's been mentioned Starbucks is in the milk business, not the coffee business. Probably sell way more flavored milks than coffee.
I'm not sure what it was, but I've never liked them - somehow always knew they were a liberal leftist marxist operation. And their coffee sucks.
Could it be the burnt beans ?
A few hundred years ago hauling coffee beans in the hole of a wooden ship meant a well burn't bean was safer to drink. Now they're just ruined.
Yeah, you could say they taste like they came out of a house fire
I can Happily say that I Have NEVER had a single beverage from Starbucks....😉😁👊
I can't, but I can say I've never liked it.
Between the burnt taste and the price, it had nothing going for it, but it provided caffeine in a pinch. Boycotted since they started making political statements.
Make my coffee at home for years now.
me too. years ago i bought one cup of reg coffee, it was disgusting, it did taste burnt. i threw it out. i have never gone to another Starbucks ever.
the bad part about Bud Lighting this place is that it is a leftard haven and i'm sure the leftards won't stand with us in boycotting this disgusting place.
Same here
Give you an Amen in on the cold brew. It’s def worth a try. We discovered a roaster named Seth in Bisbee AZ (imagine a living ghost town in the desert mountains). Every month he sends 2 lbs of freshly roasted coffee. The origin of the coffee varies from month to month and includes a little back story on the originating coffee plantation. You can usually find Seth in his shop and he is quite the conversationalist. I’m not shilling, but I would give them a try if you want a superior cup. https://oldbisbeeroasters.com/. “A gentlemen is ready is to serve coffee on a moment’s notice.”
Nice. So I get coffee from Trader Joe's (Sumatra or Bolivian, whole bean), or from a chain store we have in the east called Fresh Market (they have Ethiopian Yirgacheffe), and even from Costco when I can find a good dark roast whole bean coffee there. Then I take said coffee beans to their in-store grinder and set it to FINE or ESPRESSO and mill it to an almost salt-crystal size. I find that the finer grind gives me a stronger coffee. I like coffee that is strong enough to invade Poland, if it wanted to.
The concentrate this grind makes is thick and dark, and I let it cold brew in my fridge for 24 to 48 hours. I tried drinking the concentrate once and it nearly took my head off....WOW! NOPE!! About an inch in a cup, topped off with filtered water, microwaved about 2 minutes, and I get the best cuppa that I've ever had anywhere.
Since I like coffee strong, my rule is that I should not see the bottom or sides of the cup, just black coffee.
My wife tells me that I have now spoiled her on coffee and that she simply cannot stand the swill they serve in restaurants or the various meetings she goes to. Same with me.
Instead of a microwave use an electric kettle to heat the water.
It heats way better.
Cool! I'll try that.
