I have never spent a dime at Starbucks...I get my caffiene from Diet Coke! Much cheaper!!

I never order the coffee just tazo tea. the coffee is way overpriced and I think people spend way to much money on convience (or lazy ness) pay for your children to have health insurance on what you spend a day on coffee. Plus most people don't know this but Star Buck would not even support our troops in the desert. Would not even send coffee to our troops. Tim Horton did and they are Canadian based.

Maximized price for maximized bitterness, who would want to acquire that taste? Why not just sell people a $10.00 bag of dog poop.

I HAVE NOT GONE TO THEM IN 2 YEARS (FREE STANDING LOCATION) WILL ONLY BUY IF IT IS ONLY COFFEE PLACE AVAILIABLE. THEY ARE SCREWING PEOPLE ON THE PRICE OF ALL COFFEE! How many cups can you get out of pound, x what they sell it for! No wonder they have opened more stores?

The customer slowing down going to their stores is natural, THE PRICE EXCEEDS THE VALUE= LESS SALES! All the other mixed coffees they offe!are way out of line too!
They are attempting a "low price" and hoping you will step up and buy the flavored and mixed items still at their inflated price! DO NOT BUY ANY THING
EXCEPT THE $1.00 PRICE AND SOON THE OTHER PRICES WILL COME DOWN.
GET SUCKED IN ON THE 1.00 THEN THEY PLOY WILL HAVE WORKED! AS ALWAYS "BUYER BEWARE"!

They have lost track of the store condition and the employee attention to detail i have seen many times pouring new coffee into old coffee thus creating a bad coffee taste.You have lost the basic detail to business.POTD PLAN ORGANIZE TRAIN TRAIN AND DIRECT.

As a former Bux partner I will admit that their coffee is an acquired taste and upon first taste can seem bitter. However, it is the quality of beans (Arabica) used and the propotions that give the strong flavor; 2 tablespoons coffee to every 6oz. of water is the standard at Starbucks. If your used to drinking folgers, maxwell house, etc.(Robusto beans) then yes it Starbucks will taste bitter next to that garbage. I'm not a Starbucks groupie by any means but you should expect to pay a quality price for a quality product. Also another standard at Starbucks is that after an hour the coffee gets dumped and re-brewed to gurantee freshness; so I say bring on the free re-fills instead of wasting it! I also hate when people say it costs $4.00 for a cup of coffee; the $4 is for a latte not just plain drip coffee which costs $2 or under!

Skip the burnt bitter coffee drink and buy the stock instead; you won't receive instant gratification but the rewards are much better than the Starbucks experience itself.
