Starbucks taste like Car Trucks

Last Sunday night, Andy Rooney on 60 minutes, told the World, what I have been telling everyone. Starbucks over roast their beans, and their coffee taste burnt. Finally, the truth is out there.

I always try to give my coffee business to independent shops. Peets and Caribou are 2 chains that are decent. The bottom line, I want great tasting coffee. These cups of Joe are not cheap, so why throw your hard earned dollars down the drain.

Starbucks political culture has clashed with mine, for some time. Charging volunteers for water during 9/11 and not supporting our military troops, (I have a Son in the military) are just a few. They speak of fair trade prices, coffee is at an all time low, and yet the prices go up? Also, there is no consistency, order the same drink at 10 different locations, and it will be made 10 different ways, which means, you guessed it, it taste 10 different ways, not really a good thing.

Quality is not their number 1 goal, World domination is!
