The Starbucks Veranda blend is the best one they make. Their darker roasts taste burnt to me.


I was blown away when I learned lighter roasts have more caffeine than darker roasts. Though I'm not really sure if it's discernible to the average drinker.

Lol. Dirty clothes from construction. We go up into the mountains, not down to drug country.

'm not sure. All of our body chemistry is different. I think McDonald's is a good, cheap cup of coffee. I just like mine with some half-and-half. LG coffee with 5 creams. MD coffee with 3 creams. SM coffee with 1 cream. That's just me though. I can't speak to why it made you feel like shite.


I'm not a fan of hot drinks and I always get my coffee frozen/blended. I think I probably just consumed too much and since I never drink any to begin with it made me feel pretty terrible.

Funny you say that. My wife enjoys Folgers Instant Coffee and I have tried it on occasion. It's not awful but it's just too "creamy" tasting. That's the best way I can describe it. I like a little more bite.

I do admire your snobbery though. Welcome to the conversation

It could be the sugar. Those are usually pretty sweet.

Lol. My little brother was asked to leave a Starbucks after he asked them to remake his beverage the 3rd time. He's far more snobby than the average bear, but he's spent a small fortune for his own home setup.

I drink folgers out of my coffee pot in my kitchen

I use a State Auto mug. Same one everyday.

I got nothing for you.

Not sure why I posted in this thread.

Quite the assumption you're making.

I honestly just prefer two shots of espresso from my local coffee shop. However there is some decent to good stuff on the walls in bags at a Starbucks. It's just not the stuff coming out of a brewer.

Try this, throw a handful of ground beans into a small pot with a cup or two of water, think small cups!
Bring it to a boil, let it settle, repeat twice and then once the grounds settle its coffee. This is the Israeli method, I had some made from beans ground in old Jerusalem and it was awesome. Strong as hell but awesome.

The Israelis call American coffee hot brown water.

I typically grab a blonde roast from Starbucks on the way to class. I'm not too into the real dark and bitter stuff.

Do you filter out the grounds or just drink it like a man?

i like french press but don't like the work involved particularly. the oil is fine

i'd call myself a folders/community type of guy.

i do Keurig and/or pot of both on occasion, but i do have a Kuerig that i employ pretty regularly.

Starbucks coffee is burnt crap and they should be embarrassed for selling it.
