No big surprise. The Chairman/CEO of Starbucks has been trying to blame his company’s worsening performance on the CEO that he just fired (along with other excuses) but the real problem is he is one of these “balls to the wall” type of CEO’s that has no brakes and thinks that he is smarter than everyone else. I’ve been expecting this to happen for the last year.
I have an Elektra, manual pump, espresso machine that I use every morning. I mix 50/50 espresso/milk, a little honey and chocolate and bingo……a fantastic coffee drink. Starbucks does not even come close to competing with my home brew.
I did stop at McDonalds a couple of weeks ago to try one of their new, coffee drinks and it wasn’t bad; much better and cheaper than Starbucks.

July 2, 2008 at 9:35 AM #232226pbnativeParticipantThere is a kiosk SB inside our Vons AND a walk-in SB in the same plaza. Not a block away, yards away. That has always seemed bizarre to me. But I much prefer to go to the mom-and-pop coffee shops to support a local biz and get better coffee.

July 2, 2008 at 10:38 AM #232276PCinSDGuestI tend to agree that Starbucks has some tasty coffee. For me, tho, I just need one plain cup of coffee in the morning. The only time my coffee beats Starbucks is on Sunday mornings: That’s when I add a splash of Baileys.
