Listen, it's 7 AM... the last thing I want is some bouncy, thick-rimmed, hair streaked 20-something act a little too happy to get my coffee. Don't ask me how I'm doing. It's 7 AM. I wish I were in bed. Don't ask me my name for the cup. When they say tall latte`, I'll go up and grab it. Don't aks me, "Would you like a pastry?" No. It's 7 AM... gimmee my d*mned coffee and I woulda asked for a pastry if I wanted one. Don't ask me if I want a pastry sample from one of your urine sample-sized cups on the counter. I woulda asked. Did I mention it's 7AM? Gimmee my d*mned coffee. Oh, and lastly... don't look at me like I've got three heads if I ask for a SMALL latte` rather than a tall. Shut up and get me my coffee, dammit. Starbuck's employees bug the living daylights out of me. :rolleyes: Do you always wake up on the wrong side of the bed? |
DD or Peets for me.

Starbucks for me. I only drink decaf, and love all of their strong decaf options, especially the Decaf Komodo Dragon!
And when I am looking for an Atkins-friendly drink I get a (and this is in order of the check boxes on the side of the cup): Decaf Triple Sugar Free Vanilla Heavy Cream Extra Hot Latte My local Starbucks named this one after me, using my initials to refer to it! :D |
I like Starbucks - but always order a "medium" :p . Only get the coffee, no specialty drinks. I just don't get the kick out of DD that I do out of Starbucks. But, the best cup I've ever had was on the way to WSU in Pullman (from Seattle) about 25 miles or so before town at a place called "Caffeinze" or something of the sort. Just a shack on the side of the road. Served the cup with a chocolate covered coffee bean. That was a great cup of coffee. Looking forward to getting back there!

I've tried both and I drink a lot of iced coffee... and Dunkin Donuts definately has better iced coffee and it is much cheaper. The large there is also much bigger than the Venti.

Starbucks has the best coffee, Krispy kreme has the best donuts.

Ever notice how after a while, DD coffee starts tasting the same no matter what flavor you get? Or is it just me? :(

I actually prefer the drip I make in the office.
I like illy Expresso, but love those hole in the wall coffee shops with superior coffee, a plus if it's in a mom and pop cafe. If I want the ambiance, I'll go to a Coffee Bean instead. |

As to DD over SB....I agree...I like SB coffe; but it's expensive; unless I am hankering for a Frappucino; I try to stick to DD because for $1.69 I can get a medium (grande to you SB people) Coffee with Cream and Sugar (and they do it for me) and the coffee is usually excellent....if I wanted the same at SB, it's minimum $3.05 for a TALL (small to you DD crowd; BTW SB just raised their prices a nickel a drink) and I have to mix my own cream and sugar.... - HF |
