ParticipantI used to grab a cuppa at starbucks when I worked in the same building… Now I’m back to brewing at home (after the recommendations a while back by other posters). I buy Peet’s beans and grind them myself.
I do like Starbuck’s coffee and I also like their worldwide non-smoking policy. Those of you who have been to Tokyo or Shanghai can appreciate what a haven a non-smoking environment can be, especially when they provide wireless internet.
Lastly you can’t gripe about a company that made billion$ selling bean juice. Exemplary capitalism. Pass steam through a machine, add flavor, make employees feel like “partners” by dangling the chance to get rich through stock, create a fad… Genius. You can’t blame them for opening up so many stores. I mean, people still bought the product. I would keep opening stores as well if every store had a guaranteed customer base as Starbucks once did.

ParticipantThis is my new favorite coffee:

We bought a bag of beans from them a few weeks ago at the La Jolla Farmer’s market and there is no turning back. Really fabulous coffee. My favorite is the Cove Blend that they have at the Farmer’s Market, but for some reason not on the website.
