How did this happen?

I always thought that Starbucks coffee tasted disgusting. I avoided it at all costs. When my brother-in-law gave me a pound of it several years ago, I nicely thanked him for it. Then after he left I threw it in the garbage.

While I was on Christmas vacation, Starbucks was right across the street from our hotel. So I went there quite often for coffee. I thought it tasted yucky but apparently got used to it! I guess it beats the watered down hotel coffee. Now I actually LIKE the stuff! And now I have a large cup of it sitting in front of me. Yum!

I think they put heroin or crack in their coffee to get us all addicted I'm not even a coffee drinker but I love Starbucks- I have to limit myself to only getting it when I go to the bookstore, otherwise I would be there constantly.

As a rule, I find Starbucks coffee to strong. I prefer Dunkin. When I have Starbucks, I have a Latte w/ skim milk. That is YUMMY!!

Phillybeth...LOL!

Kimberle...I just recently found a great latte at Barnie's. Sugar-free with caramel! Starbucks only has sugar-free vanilla. I'm not much of a vanilla fan. Wish I were. Hmmm...maybe I'll send them a letter with a suggestion! Since drinking Starbucks, I now find Dunkin Donuts coffee tastes like wash water to me. I never thought that would happen!

I like Dunkin Donuts coffee because there's always a quarter inch of glucose "sludge" at the bottom from all the sugar they put in it!

I'm all about the new Hershey's S'mores Hot Cocoa at 7-11!

We go through about 1 pound of beans a week here, always Gold Coast. Have enjoyed for quite a number of years now. Good flavor.

Two years ago, if you told me I would drink coffee, I would have told you that you were crazy.

Then an employee brought me a Barnies Freezer (Santa's White Christmas). I liked it, and could deal with the slight coffee flavor. Started drinking SWC Mochas. They see me coming and they know it's either a mocha freezer or a half cup of the hot stuff with a carton of chocolate milk!

Then, last week, I tried the Sweetheart's Blend. OMG it was black forest cake in a drink! YUM. Now I'm torn between which flavor to get-and I was the person a short while ago who wouldn't even eat a coffee flavored truffle.

Where's the tiramisu? I love everything else in them, didn't eat it because of the espresso. But now I drink it, so I wonder how it will taste, LOL.

Still haven't had Starbucks, but love my Barnies fix! I was happy to find that there's one near where I'm moving to in Florida!

Starbucks coffee tastes almost burnt to me. I've had it at WDW and loved it. I've bought a tiny bag of it and made it here and don't like it too much. I prefer my Millstone coffee here.

I LOVE their hot chocolate! I think their coffee is very strong for my tastes.

Ewwww......I think Starbucks is bitter & waaaaaay too strong! You must be growing hair on your chest if you're drinking Starbucks coffee!!

I prefer the Gevalia brand! It's smooth & not bitter.

 

[Kimberle]

What's Barnies? Is it a regional chain?

That's so funny because I find the opposite to be true. Gevalia brand is way too bitter for me, but I LOVE Starbucks! I also cannot drink Dunkin Donuts anymore either although I've tried. It just tastes bitter and nasty and I always loved it before.

I also love Starbucks frapuccinos in the summertime!

Yum....I love Starbucks..but I don't drink the coffee. It's either a Venti Vanilla Latte or a Venti Caramel Macchiata YUM!

 

[Jasminesmommy]

Hot mocha for me when I've been a good girl

Also a cookies and cream frapacinno from Gloria Jeans when I've been a real good girl

I'm glad to see other coffee lovers! I over did it today. This afternoon before I picked up DS at school, I went to the Starbucks near his school and got another cup. Then he wanted to go to the mall, so I had to stop at Barnies and get a sugar-free caramel latte. YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMM! I was in Heaven with that one!

Isn't Sweatheart Blend great? I have 2 bags of it in my refrigerator. LOL! Gevalia lover here also. I'm not crazy about their plain coffee, but I really like the Irish Cream. Years ago I had some flavor that was in a purple box. The best home brewed coffee I've ever had! But I don't know what the flavor was!

Yeah, I never liked coffee at all either, but I'm addicted to their mochas!I had one today, in fact.
