Clippers of Nfl Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Cool story, share. Stupid story, share. Cool drink, share. Bad drink, share. Anything coffee, share. I'll start. I had the Lime Refresher this morning. Tastes ok, but has a medicine aftertaste. Would not buy again. Also I never ever say stupid words like Venti or Grande. I ALWAYS USE THE WORKS MEDIUM OR LARGE.
TSOL Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I use medium or large too but they dont like it. When you say "ill have a large dark roast" they come back with "ok, so a venti dark roast, will that complete your order"
The Poojer Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I don't use their size names either, i use medium and large....but i rarely go to starbucks, too expensive for me when i can get a cup of wawa or wegmans which to me is just as good at cheaper prices.

NoSaint Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I use medium or large too but they dont like it. When you say "ill have a large dark roast" they come back with "ok, so a venti dark roast, will that complete your order" odds are its just a standard and the employee gets dinged on secret shops if thats not their reply. i bet they hate having to say that to someone that says medium.
Wooderson Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I've only been there twice, both times were out of town. Both times my fiance had to order for me because I ordered "wrong", "Large coffee double double" is wrong apparently.

Both times my fiance had to order for me because I ordered "wrong", "Large coffee double double" is wrong apparently. Wow. I use medium or large too but they dont like it. When you say "ill have a large dark roast" they come back with "ok, so a venti dark roast, will that complete your order" Every now and then they correct it. Most of the times they go with the flow or even repeat my order using medium or large. They must not like you. But dont take it personal.

Maury Ballstein Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Starbucks is a rip. I get a latte w extra shot of espresso at wawa for half the price. Too many weirdos hang out or work at Starbucks imo.
truth on hold Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) At first I hated their coffee, thought it tasted bitter like an ashtray full of cigarette butts. Now I think it's the best and other coffees taste weak and watery by comparison. Sort of liking their juice, tea, spritzer things for a refresher on hot days too Edited August 13, 2015 by JTSP
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Their menu is too complicated. I took a guy there the other day who isn't a regular. He only wanted a small iced tea. After the million questions, he ended up with a medium lemonade. It was kind of amazing how the options twisted him up so much. I agree with the comment that their coffee is too bitter. When I go there, I get an americano-- their espresso is a bit smoother to handle.
Chef Jim Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I brew my own at home. I buy cheap too. I only have one cup to wake up so why buy the good stuff when I'm half asleep. Also I get a month's worth of coffee for the price of a large caramel macchiato at Starbucks.
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I use medium or large too but they dont like it. When you say "ill have a large dark roast" they come back with "ok, so a venti dark roast, will that complete your order" My response to this situation was: "I don't speak Italian. I want a medium. If you can't figure out how to give me a medium, I'll take my business elsewhere." They suddenly were able to figure out which size was "medium."
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I never drink coffee. In my 47 years on this green earth, I 've probably tried about under a teaspoon of coffee. It's poison!
WotAGuy Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Love their Sumatra. Best coffee ever. It's rarely brewed in the stores, so I bought a conical burr grinder and get whole bean Sumatra from Walmart or eBay at a fraction of what they charge for a pound in the stores. Nothing like a freshly ground cup of Sumatra out on my balcony every morning.

Kopi luwak (Indonesian pronunciation: [ˈkopi ˈlu.aʔ]), or civet coffee, refers to the coffee that includes part-digested coffee cherries eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak
Bad Things Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Starbucks? No way. Support your local roasters. For me nothing beats grabbing a Flat White at Raglan Roast and taking a stroll on Tahunanui Beach. https://www.raglanroast.co.nz Have you guys ever heard of a Flat White? They're the coffee drink of choice down here in new Zealand. Edited August 14, 2015 by Bad Things

plenzmd1 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) The responses in this this thread so damn predictable. Me big, tough, old , white man, I no learn two words ! It not cool! I will show how cool I am by saying "large" Everybody hear me????.. These are all the same guys who love their hipster beer bartenders and Brewers and worry about what stemware various beer styles go in. Get off my lawn now! And Pooj , the guy who chastised others the other day for being afraid of saying they know 1D like it was some sign of male weakness. I am disappointed in you. LOL Edited August 14, 2015 by plenzmd1
