None whose opinion, at least in the area of coffee, is worth
considering. Starbucks has the same kind of quality control as
McDonalds--what you get will be the same in every Starbucks in the
world. To achieve that level of consistency they have to blend and
roast every last vestige of character out of their coffee. There's a
reason they push milk drinks.

I am allergic to milk. One ounce will make me upchuck.

Lactose intolerance?

Then you order your coffee black (assuming you drink coffee at
all).

I remember when a young man was staying with us (there was trouble at
home and we had an extra bedroom), and one day I heard him talking
on the phone and mentioning Starbucks' in tones of scorn.

When he'd hung up, I asked (out of mere curiosity, I don't drink
coffee at all) whether Starbuck's coffee was any good.

"STARBUCKS!" he shouted. "They pay lousy wages and no benefits."

"But is their coffee any good?"

"STARBUCKS!" he fumed. "They move into an area, start selling
their coffee extra-cheap, put the other coffee-houses out of
business, and then jack up the prices again."

"Yes, but is their COFFEE any good?"

He shrugged, completely calm. "Oh, it's lousy."

[J. Clarke]

Upchucking is preferable to Starbucks coffee without adulterants.
However "milk drink" in Starbucks doesn't necessarily involve anything
that came out of a mammal.

[J. Clarke]

Among coffee aficionados they are known as "charbucks". They do
provide a brown substance that contains caffeine and is not a cola.
Quite frankly, McDonalds has better coffee. They didn't used to but
they've been working on it.

[Alan Baker]

Oh, do shut up.

[Alan Baker]

Oh, do shut up.

Well, Lynn is old enough to know what suits his own body and what
doesn't. If the latter include both milk and Starbuck's, he can
do him.

[Michael Trew]

That's funny. People love to transpose the 'a' and 'e' in my name.

I can't say that I was ever impressed with Starbucks. Their plain
coffee is so strong that it tastes burnt. I tried a "milkshake"
"coffee" once. It wasn't bad, but for over $5, not something that I'll
repeat any time soon.

McDonalds now has very good coffee. It's not rocket science, and when
they put their minds to it, and implemented the procedures the franchaises
need to follow -- it worked. Dunkin as well. Both much better than SB,
at least for coffee-coffee. I'm sure the half-caf-skinny-whip-almond-
mocha-cinamon-cream-steam-nitro at SB is.. still unique.

McDonalds has always had good coffee for me. I was a field engineer for
a number of years and McDonalds was always a good place to stop, drain,
and refill.

For my wife and me, it’s a lose-lose. We can go with her name, Eleanor,
and expect it to be misspelled, or we can go with my name and have four
people answer, “That’s me!”.

From what I hear, their benefits are outstanding among fast-food
outlets. People continue working there for the health insurance.

I like the way you've named it, haha. The last time I went in, I
finally deciphered something off of their menu that was basically
frozen, blended, ground up iced coffee with so much creamer, flavoring,
etc. that it didn't even resemble coffee anymore. It cost near $6 for a
large, or whatever Italian name they call that size. It was good, I
suppose, but a coffee it was not. I'd call it a milkshake with coffee
flavor.

I have a $5 SB gift card that someone once gave me floating around here.
If I ever find it, I suppose I'll take it in and buy another coffee
milkshake some day. If I only have to pony up 80 cents, I reckon it's
worth it. :)
