The only reason anyone likes Starbucks is because half the cup is filled with milk, caramel, chocolate, whipped cream, and the list goes on. Does anyone even drink a straight up black coffee from Starbucks??? If they did, I'm sure it was the first and last! For all you Starbucks fans, try this on for size; go to your nearest 7-11, fill a large coffe cup half way with 7-11's regular roast coffee, then roam around the store throwing in half a gallon of milk, half a can of whipped cream, some caramel and chocolate ice cream toppings, give it a little mix and drink. It's no different than a mocha frappe whatever the f'k it's called and will only cost you $1.80!!!!

some people think that roasting coffee longer means more caffeine.WRONG! heat kills caffeine. other reasons starbucks sucks is they don't even use good quality beans for their espresso. If you dont believe me Howard Schultz (Owner of starbucks) said that their beans aren't as good of quality as smaller coffee shops because they cant purchase that many beans at once. more stuff that sucks about them is customer service sucks. the employees know shit about coffee, and the people that like starbucks do not know a damn thing about coffee. also, starbucks tries to put everybody out of business, and doesnt play fair at all.

I don't know where people get off calling Starbucks “strong”…Their Mochas are extremely weak and taste more like water than like coffee…
Whereas Peet's is sublime…First off they don't sweeten at all, leaving that up to YOUR tastes and their coffees are very well made…Full of flavor and coffee goodness.
But the best place to get coffee in the South Bay is Dana Street Roasting Company in downtown Mtn View…Great coffee, good tiramisu and you get served by freaks…Can't beat that!

If I remember correctly, you said, and I quote … “This tastes like ass.” Hm … now I don't hear that too often at 10am in the morning.

lisa – there are 8 peet's cafes in LA and you can buy their coffee from von's and pavillions. (peet's keeps me from being too homesick for SF)

Chris,
Get your own bag of Peets coffee. That way you can be wired 24/7, hehe. Or perhaps you can get a coffee machine and make your own strong coffee. My dad's coffee stains the mug black and no, it's just regular coffee, he just makes it very strong.

Well, unfortunately we don't have a Peet's here in eastern Iowa, so I can't try it out. I enjoy Starbucks, although I don't drink coffee, per se. I drink the fancy stuff, their carmel frappuchinos rock. :)

Yeah, I'm kind of curious as to what posessed you to do that on your webcam as well. :)

Want to know something crazy? We don't have many Starbucks in Michigan. We have Tim Horton's. Yeah, that's the Canadian version of Starbucks.

There aren't many Starbucks in South Florida. Coffee culture tends to center around all of the Cuban cafeterÃas. Those Cubans can make awesome coffee. However, while visiting San Diego, my girlfriend and I frequented Starbucks for our coffee fix. We really didn't have much choice since there were FOUR (4) at one intersection near where we were staying. I must say, it's highly overrated.

How DARE you desecrate the Peet's cult, Chris! For shame, for shame!
For those of you who thinks Starbucks is strong, you haven't had a cuppa Peet's Arabian Mocha Java yet… ;)
