You wouldn't want to be drinking out of those cups anyway when you consider who's been sucking on the rim and what they were sucking on before that.
Chik-fil-A sells coffee.................
That's because it is over roasted on purpose to make it seem darker and richer than it is.
You must have a palate for lighter coffees. I like the strong stuff but not the way SB does it. I went to a Starbucks once years ago. Never again...and not because of the coffee.
The only time I will ever drink the over priced, poor quality crap they sell for coffee is under captive conditions eg certain airports and such. Maybe in their earlier days they had a good cup of coffee but I have never had one.
I've always liked their coffees. I like ridiculously strong coffee that borders on espresso. My favorite of theirs is the Verona Dark roast. So, that puts me in a position to boycott their coffee. I can live with the fact that their company has views contrary to mine, but the intolerant attitude they show to differing views (to the point they don't even want my business), and the ridiculous race-bating campaign they recently tried means it is time to move on. I almost never bought beverages in their stores anyway, but I have bought their coffee beans and ground coffees for years. No more. If I brew coffee, I will use Peet's from now on, or I will continue to buy Peet's and Barista Prima Italian K-cups for my Keurig machine.
I actually have liked Starbucks Columbian, would buy it in the store, but stopped buying 6 months ago, preferring Gevalia Columbian. I was in the grocery store last night, noticed that most coffees were on sale, but Starbucks was higher than everybody else, $9.69, which is just crazy. The others may be jumping in to expand market share, and steal customers who are just a tad soured, but with a price drop, more motivated to switch.
