never bean to starbuck
- Thread starter inreb
- Start date
Only one way to find out.....
I'm running a pretty slick program over here, don't want to make any unnecessary stops if I don't have too.
What's a barista?
I have only been once. I just wanted a coffee and there was no place else close. Asked for one and was asked 'what kind?'. I said 'regular' and was stared at. I then said 'cream and sugar', again stared at. I was again asked 'what kind of coffee?'. I looked up at the list and had no idea. I said 'like McDonalds coffee'. Was told 'we don't sell that'. Fine, give me something 'normal'. Two sips and I dumped it. I have never been back
So basically you enter a different coffee world. I personally prefer 2nd cup...more choices of regular "drip" coffee in "light" "medium" "dark" "flavoured" tags with a description of each right in front of you
I dont personally like starbucks (their descriptions are behing the cashier oftens times) buts its like going to lcbo and saying you want wine.
They'll be like "what kind"
I find their coffees are too bitter... from what i was told from my connoisseur friend...it's partially because of their bean roasting process.
And the milk/cream and what not, you put it in yourself at the counter.

Barrista is an employee at starbucks that will give you a BJ while you enjoy your cappuccino. You have to request it and make sure you point out the Barrista that you want the BJ from.
Please note: there are several male barristas.
Don't be picky about something so trivial like gender. (isnt that what our society teaches us?)
I'm happy with my Tim's Large 1 Milk....let the hating begin! I know we have a lot of haters of Tim's here...

I like a nice french pressed dark roast myself.
I am a coffee snob but i drink instant daily like i have since i was 3. Only a few times have i ever had coffee i didn't like, even tim's. That being said there are some amazing beans and roasts out there.
Star bucks is okay had it like 3 times its not even hard to order a cup like some people make it out unless you have flavour shots and the like. I do like their London fogs tho rather than their coffees
prefer this star buck.

That's correct I am, I drink several cups of coffee a day not going to settle for garbage.
I make my own espresso at home I don't regularly go to "hipster" coffee joints however they do know good coffee and I'm glad they exist.
I can't understand how someone can drink 8+ ounces of coffee in one sitting I would sh1t myself.
lololol
At home, I grind my own beans and use a French press. But if I'm out and about and need a caffeine hit, Timmies is just fine. Starbucks is way overpriced, I almost never go.

lol ask for
Regular cooffee
Regular BJ
Report back what flavor and gender you get.
Funny enough I like timms these days. I look at it as coffee tea.
At my high point I was 11 cups a day standard mugs as I don't really get take out coffee often and I took prefer the smaller trendy coffee shops when I cant make my own. Now I am 2 a day guy. The occasional espresso is nice but i prefer turkish but havn't had it in a long time.
Instant is still my go to unless I have guests or have the time to make it. I also like this when i can get it.
