Silenced Fred Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Dunkin Donuts rocks, Starbucks sucks. The only reason people drink Starbucks is in all of their fancy coffee drinks, because it tastes burnt otherwise. They actually have a drink that is half cream, half coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 mmm. Coffee, the freshly brewed elixir of life. Liquid Sunshine. The only place I've had Starbucks was at the airport. And it was okay. Timmeh Hortons is good. But the coffee I had in Southern Spain was the best! Cafe' Solo Doublo and a Cohiba. Good morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCI Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'm no coffee connoisseur but Starbucks is some nasty stuff. Ever try it without syrup or whipped cream or any of that stuff they pour into it to cover up the flavor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I hate coffee with a passion. How do you live? Unless you get your stimulants from other places like tea or soda or an eight ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that far South. Did you cross at Detroit or Port Huron? I grew up 15min from Port Huron and with the insane amount of Canadians that come over from Sarnia to shop and hang out they had to give them a few comforts of home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 GOD, DO I LOVE COFFEE! During the week I drink the coffee at the office. On weekends the wife and I brew at home with this - http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/store/product/id/137 . Roasted in the city so it's über fresh. Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks? Tastes the same to me once you get a shot of half & half in it. Can't get into those syrupy mocha double frap with whip and caramel things. Too much sugar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'm the first "I Drink Tea" poster. I like Lipton Yellow Label - not the kind for export to the UK, but the kind with the Indian writing on the box (it has a fuller taste). I get it at a local India imports store. I used to drink coffee, and I liked Dunkin' better than Starbucks. But coffee has always been too acidic for me. Notes BTW, if you move the D of Dunkin' Donuts to the end of the word, you get Unkind Donuts. Don't ask me why I know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevef Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'm not into "chocolatemochachinolatapumpkindoubleskimlotsothersh1t" coffee. lI'll go to Dunkin' Donuts. Wife likes Starbucks. We do brew Starbucks or Seattle's Best (which I believe is owned by Starbucks now) at home, stuff in cans sux. Seattle's Best Henry's Blend is outstanding. Tim Horton was a fine hockey player, that'd be reason enough for me to try coffee there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Actually both Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks makes horrible coffee. However, Starbucks does use more bean varieties and a better bean. Dunkin' is horrible coffee even when you take it home to brew it yourself. On the other hand there are a few of Starbuck's coffees that are tolerable and a couple are good. Of those type of stores I think Krispe Kreme really has the best, and smoothest coffee both in how they brew it at their stores and when you take the beans home and brew it yourself. As for mail order coffee - Gevalia coffee is pretty darn good. Good coffee is primarily about 3 things - location of where the bean is from, how fresh it is, and how it has been roasted. EDIT: oh I guess there is one more thing that comes into making good coffee - how it is ground. A burr grinder will produce a more consistant size and shape of ground coffee thus maximizing how much and how well water flows thru. END EDIT HERE. Kona is my favorite bean, I like a light to medium roast and of course the fresher the better. Contrary to popular blief, a light roast actually packs more caffine than does a dark roast. It is heat that causes the caffine to be produced in the bean so when you roast a bean to be a dark roast it removes a lot of the caffine ~ think of water boiling on a stove where eventually it boils away until there is nothing. On the other hand, dark roasted beans bring a certain nuttyness and earthyness to the flavor party. Coffee, like guitars, amps, Jesus Christ, and motorcycles is a passion of mine.

The Mick Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I typically make my own espresso but I'll stand up and say Starbucks out of the choices given. There a better coffee shops but I'll give them the credit for bringing many people to the light of good coffee other than their Folgers and learn some variety in the larger world of coffee. Then they can go out and find better shops or grind fresh at home with quality beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I make the best coffee a coffee lover could drink. 80% Colombian, 20% French Roast freshly ground at brewing time in a French Press. Strong and Full of Sediment!!!! As for Dunkin' vs Starbucks: Don't care for Dunkin' Donuts, very weak. Don't care for Starbucks regular coffee, Burnt tasting. Do like Starbucks Cappuccinos, Grande with an extra shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
