starbucks
- Thread starter dirtysanchez
- Start date
I drink a ton of peets major dickason blend at work. I don't know how it can taste so strong and rich but still be smooth and not acidic or bitter, smooth enough to brew strong and still drink it black. Actually I do know... they don't use shitty beans and scorch the fuck out of themvlike starfucks does Lol.
But any avid peets fans notice their coffee has kinda lost potency and quality the past couple years? I think it got a little worse now that they're filling up a ton of grocery stores with their stuff. Still infinitely better than starbucks or any domestic coffees. I wish peets would make a light roast though.. its usually super buttery smooth, more floral, and way stronger than dark roasts. I think starbucks put it into everyone's head darker roasts = stronger more potent coffee which is false

grande dark roast pour-over with 6 scoops
As soon as I tasted it I realized most people have never tasted coffee. We've been tasting water with a hint of diluted coffee flavor.
Get that shit and you will discover the world of creamy coffee juice(or something).
fuck im sleepy.
Got a keurig recently and while I enjoy the selection and even the taste of some roasts, I now find myself with a cup of coffee from morning till night. Those K-cups can get expensive.

Do they make starbucks coffee that comes in the k-cup things? I bought my lil bro a keurig machine for xmas n i tried it the other day n it was actually hella good... I forgot what kind it was like donut house or something...
I tried a safeway select french vanilla kcup today tho and it was terrible... But i improvised and found some whipped cream n it actually made it drinkable

You guys need to step it up if you're serious about coffee. Theres nothing like grinding your own freshly roasted super pungent oily beans then brewing in a french press; or even better making slow pour. You get to drink the oils that don't make it through coffee filters and starbucks destroys by burning their beans and its magically delicious. You won't ever look at coffee the same again. Its like eating a super fine cheese vs eating squares of processed american

A couple years ago i went into starbucks for the first time with my homegirl, and i just ordered what she got the day before, a carmel machiato...
But i hadnt ordered from starbucks before so i was like "vendetta carmal mocachino" hahahaha i said it all wrong... And ever since then thats all i order cuz i learned how to order it.

I always hated coffee, once or twice a year I would try it hoping I would eventually like it.
In June I had some from a donut shop on Telegraph that I didn't hate, and I started drinking coffee regularly.
That being said I have no discernible taste in coffee, it all tastes more or less the same to me. I don't know if my taste buds haven't matured and I just don't get it, or it's one big scam and it all really is the same.
In any event I usually get the $1 small coffee from the taqueria across the street in the AM.
I have a friend that goes to the super cool indie slow pour single origin organic based bullshit coffee place in North Oakland and I honestly cant tell the difference, and I cant deal with how douche-baggy the whole place is so I'm happy with the crap Consuela pours me.
