    Regular coffee at Starbucks is just the same or cheaper than any other coffee chain (IE Dunkin Donuts). It's just that people always get blahblahchino with blahblah flavor at Starbucks, which obviously costs more. Plain ole coffee isn't much more than two bucks.


    There is no way DD coffee tates the same as Starbucks. I am not talking about the specialty coffee just plain stuff. coffee is not coffee. just like beer A is not the same as beer B or red wine A is not the same as red wine B

    Agree 100%. Compared to DD, Starbucks is a "thicker and smoother" coffee with more kick. I do like DD coffee and I drink it once in a while. I really like the cups DD uses. Starbucks and 7-eleven use reg paper cups that have a fold on the lip(top) of the cup. Sometimes coffee will leak through this fold. To prevent this, I take a napkin and place it between the cup and that cardboard ring they put around the cup so your hands don't burn...I also make sure the hole in the lid is opposite the fold so it doesn't leak when I drink it.

    Whoa! Wasn't saying they taste the same - they taste NOTHING alike; Dunks is like water compared to Buckys. I'm saying the COST is about the same - reread my post. Someone was saying they'd n ever pay four dollars for a cup of coffee, but regular coffee at Starbucks COSTS about the same as at Dunks.

    I have three family members who work for Starbucks and they hate the false claim about Starbucks being expensive, I have this drilled into me all the time. :)
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Same here, saying words like venti, grande and such make me feel ****'ish.

    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    I don't use those words when referring to my manhood either, don't need to, the bulge speaks for itself.

    I've been drinking 2-3 large mugs of coffee a day for more than 10 years. Usually only 1st thing in the morning. I ran out of coffee at the house a few weeks ago and forgot to get some on the way home. I thought that I could get by with some really strong ice tea. WRONG! What a way to ruin your day.
    I'm such an addict that I ended up with 2 straight days of debilitating migranes before I finally went to Sams and restocked with some whole bean French Roast Millstone. I don't splurge for the really expensive stuff. I drink with cream only. No sweetner either. I fully agree with George on the Coffee flavored Coffee. I can't stand going to my In-laws because they only buy some crappy flavored stuff that nearly makes me puke!

    Has anyone here read the article on Caffeine that was in National Geographic about 6 months ago? Great article. "It's the world's most popular psychoactive drug!"
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
