A dirty little secret most SBUX won't advertise is that they charge $.50 for refills. Have I shown up the next day with yesterday's cup? Of course...

They burn the beans in an effort to roast "consistently" and the only way you can make their coffee not taste like ass is to put a bunch of other stuff in it.<BR/><BR/>I get my coffee from a local roaster, and I'm not a big fan of McD's or BK's coffee, but I bet I could piss theirs and it would taste more like coffee than a black SBUX would.<BR/><BR/>Get the feeling I don't like SBUX coffee?nodoodahshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324705536306995431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103317.post-87695001488342863282007-11-16T12:04:00.000-08:002007-11-16T12:04:00.000-08:00On Ricky Williams: Oh sure, the league doesn't wan...On Ricky Williams: Oh sure, the league doesn't want felons, troublemakers and gangsters ... but we'll make an exception if you can run over 100 yards a game.<BR/><BR/>What an inspiring story!
