...I've got to say, it's not bad. Not at all like other instant coffee's I've tried over the years. I'd be hard pressed to tell much of a difference from their regular brewed coffee.

Of course it's not as good as Philz coffee in SF, but then again, what is?

Frank Remark · 09-29-2009, 05:12 PM

Is it like a thick syrup?

I've been making espresso in one of these:

Pretty damn good.

The only time I've had Starbucks was on the road when nothing else was available. It was meh. That bottled frappucino shit is vile.

I think their regular coffee sucks so....

I drink single source beans, my own blend, or single source home roasted beans brewed in one of these:

I generally don't like the way starbucks overroasts their coffee.

I have a neighborhood coffee shop that might have the best coffee in the world. I'm very spoiled with great coffee. Somehow, I don't think I'll like an instant coffee mix...I will be a good sport and give it a try, just to be fair.

The French Press is good. I use them or the stovetop espresso maker pictured above.

Curiosity.

I prefer the coffee from Dunkin' Donuts.

Starbucks' straight coffee/espresso isn't that bad, but yeah, pretty much all their sweet drinks are crap.

Every cup of coffee I drink doesn't need to be the best I've ever had. There's a lot worse than Starbucks. Anyone who doesn't think so doesn't know how bad coffee can be.

We don't have Dunkin Donuts out here. We do have really good Mom n Pop donut shops, however.

The coffee sucks though...

Yeah. I mean, it won't blow your mind, but it's decent and inexpensive.

I have no use for the instant stuff so I don't bother. Starbucks lattes, my own lattes, or perked coffee.

red12ax7 · 09-29-2009, 06:15 PM

I don`t buy coffee. It`s free at work at the taxpayers expense.

It just has that extra something you just can`t get anywhere else.

To be honest, after two days driving through Utah and Nevada and only drinking diner coffee (which I like in those conditions), Starbucks in Carson City seemed pretty fucking awe-inspiring.

How do you know unless you've tried it?

I mean, I've hated instant coffee for a long time. This is actually pretty decent. If I had your attitude, I wouldn't know any better.
