They sound more ruthless than I thought, actually, even though the unintended consequence is positive.

still won't go in a starbucks.
passing off sediment from the gowanus for 4 bucks a pop is not my idea of good business.

Starbucks coffee is 10 times better than most coffee houses and 100 times better than Dunkin Donuts. why the angst?

I guess taste is extremely subjective then. I find Starbucks coffee to be the most bitter, foul tasting liquid ever. And definitely not worth my $2+. I'll take Dunkin Donuts or even deli coffee over Starbucks anyday.

Starbucks if good if you like burnt coffee....which it is.

Deli coffee is burnt coffee. Starbucks most only be for the educated taste I guess.
You're just angry you can't afford a Starbucks coffee, let alone afford to renovate your filthy Brownstone.

seems 8:02 hasn't had their Starbucks fix this morning. I'm relieved to find out I'm not the only one who thinks Starbucks coffee is swill. I rue the day they open a branch in my area, Bed-Stuy/CH border. ugh.

8:02=brainwashed Starbuck's employee.

"Starbucks most only be for the educated taste I guess."
That must be the most ridiculously idiotic thing I've heard in years. Any coffee connoisseur knows that Starbuck's is shit.

any educated person knows that Dunkin Donut's coffee is shit.

Ah, but Dunkin Donuts regular coffee is much better than Starbucks regular coffee--it's not burnt. And 1/3 the price.

To 6:22pm
Coffee drinking has nothing to do with education.
It has to do with the palate.
Either you like the taste or you don't.
What a snob.
