I'm afraid I will run out of beans in a few weeks time so are we sure that the coffee beans from Starbucks BA are the same quality as found in N America? A kilo of the Costco Starbucks beans cost US$13 any idea of the price in BA? |

I just saw a Starbucks going in @ Plaza Dorrego. :o
I cannot imagine what my facial reaction must have looked like when I saw it a couple hours ago. |
Hiddy..... I did my homework this morning... the beans cost between AR$38 to AR$42, depending on origin. The quoted price is for a small 250gr bag, dont think they offer larger bags.

That's about 50% more expensive than buying them in Starbucks in the US. |

I'm now back to drinking what I thought was the semi decent stuff that I had found previously but after weeks of the Costco stuff I now find the Casa do Cafe tastes bloody awful. Looks as if I'll have to mortgage the house and head to Starbucks if I want to get some decent beans. |
