encey Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 always large never grande or whatever they say, black coffee wit suga... girlfriend. Yeah exactly; I'm always like 'I'd like a medium Pike Place' or whatever. No sugar though. Their coffee is strong as a motherfucker, however!!! I am always totally wigged out when I leave after working there all day. Haven't been in a long time, saved a lot of $$$. wait so you refuse to call it a grande but then youre like "Pike place roast plz Im so fucking gay" Yes. I do care which coffee I get; I just don't care to sound like Roberto Begnini when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosmachine Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 day 2: "medium pike place" this is better than the latte, and half the price, but still nowhere close to a double double from tims. on the other hand, it seems to have a shitload of caffeine...!

Guest Iain C Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 are there more tea selections in English starbucks? They have quite a few, all Twinings I believe. Probably 6 or 8 different varieties, but I couldn't tell you what they were. I'd imagine that aside from standard English Breakfast they have the usual Earl Grey, Assam, some green tea, and probably some herbal/fruit varieties. I just ordered a "tea" and got English Breakfast, as it should be. They put two tea-bags in one large takeaway cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaosmachine Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 yeah, i just looked up the data, there's 330mg of caffeine in a medium "pike place roast". that's more caffeine than drinking two cans of rockstar! should be a warning label on the cup :dizzy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essines Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 i don't really know what pike place roast is but it sounds like it would probably give me a heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marf Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 So, Peets coffee is intense. Very fresh, very complex and bold. I used to work there. Yeah, They have it in supermarkets but it isn't fresh like in the cafes. They are intense about their quality. The teas are all loose leaf. No bags. It affects the taste. One bit of craziness, the Rent for the Peets store in CAmbridge Mass./ harvard square was (at the time, circa year 2000) 50k usd a month! The manager told me. I don't know how you pay that every month http://maps.google.com/maps?rlz=1C1GGLS_en...l=en&tab=wl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaosmachine Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Day 3: "Chai Tea Latte" Finally something that doesn't taste like Tim Hortons gone terribly wrong. Spicy, like cinnamon and pepper. Pretty good.. almost worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I like dunkin donuts, but will do Starbucks in a pinch. If I am in Buffalo NY for dinner or some other reason, I will go to Spot Coffee above both places, simply because they have a bit more of an interesting selection and the coffee generally tastes better. BUT, the down side is that you have to deal with super coffee shop fuck tards, who insist on studying and reading in the busiest location in the city. I mean, they do this at starbucks as well, but not nearly as many. Also, in regards to Tim Hortons.... the coffee tastes the same to me, but for some reason, the American version of Tim Hortons coffee gives me an insane headache. I don't eat donuts really, so I can't comment on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba69 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 starbucks can be good sometimes. But at some places the people who run it are fucking morons. I'm a huge fan of brewed coffee, rather than espresso, and they have a bad track record with me on that accord. I mean, its better than most places but still.
