Participant[quote=Brutus]I wish I could make a cup of coffee that tastes as good as Starbucks. I’ve tried. I can’t. Everything else (except Peet’s and Seattle’s Best) tastes like hot dishwater, especially drunken Donuts.
Starbucks: easily the best cup you can buy. And I never spend $4 on a cup of coffee. That’s for Volvo-driving, Caramel Latte-drinking, Obama-voting, “not on our watch,” UN loving, yuppies.
You know: my friends.[/quote]Starbucks is horrible coffee. I could run dirty dishwater through my coffee maker and have it taste better.

Participant[quote=pabloesqobar]Personally I make my own coffee in the morning because paying somebody to make me a cup rubs me the wrong way.
[/quote]Especially when a large coffee almost anywhere like starbucks or a local indie is going to run about $2.
I buy fresh whole beans locally for both espresso and drip. I can make a whole pot for less than $2 so I can drink a few cups at home and then take a cup to go in the car.

Participant[quote=bsrsharma]only businesses I know that will open competing stores right across the street from each other.
Surely you have seen 2, 3 and sometimes even 4 gas stations at intersections – though competing brands.[/quote]
That’s the key difference, COMPETING BRANDS. You wouldn’t see Shell open gas stations across the street from each other.

ParticipantI hardly think that the economy is as much to blame as the fact that a) their coffee sucks and b) they are probably one of the only businesses I know that will open competing stores right across the street from each other.
I mean, I know people are lazy and all but does it really make sense to open the damn things a block apart? Are people really incapable of walking a few blocks for coffee?
