More Bang for the Cup?

Didn't want to post the whole article since my question was short. Do you find Starbucks coffee to pack more "punch" than other coffees? Do you like the extra wallop or is Dunkin Donuts good enough for you? PS I find Atlanta Bread to be somewhat similar to Starbucks.

...."Starbucks must be banking on the theory that the people who buy its coffee don't just need coffee, they need Starbucks coffee, which packs a higher caffeine punch than many competitors. The Wall Street Journal earlier this year sent samples of coffee from Starbucks, 7-Eleven, and Dunkin' Donuts to Central Analytical Laboratories. The lab reported that a 16-ounce Starbucks house blend coffee contained 223 milligrams of caffeine, compared with 174 and 141 milligrams in comparable amounts of Dunkin' Donuts and 7-Eleven coffee, respectively. According to the Journal, the average Starbucks coffee drink contains 320 milligrams of caffeine. (This chart from the Center for Science in the Public Interest shows different measurement levels, including the scary finding that a 16-ounce Starbucks grande has nearly three times as much caffeine as a No-Doz.)

I agree - Starbucks is stronger than other coffees, but most of all - I think it taste better than DD! I need my daily dose of Starbucks!

Not to mention - working in the city - its kind of hard not to drink it. There is a starbucks on every block!
