Why do people drink this shit?
>>24148548
Because they like the taste?
Convenience
what's wrong with it? it's just coffee
It's on the high end of chain coffee stores, It's expensive as fuck, but people don't buy fast food coffee for the price.
>>24148548
their espresso isn't bad desu, however the drip coffee is garbage and their baristas are so used to maximizing the speed at which they make drinks that the lattes are nothing more than hot milk and coffee.
>>24148548
Literally every fat girl drinks super high calorie drinks like that daily. Every fat girl I see on campus always has some shitty drink like that from Starbucks or dunkin donuts. Then they wonder why they get fat even though they "eat healthy and exercise", even if they're being honest drinking a 700+ calorie drinks every fucking day will make you fat, dumb fat bitch.
>>24148548
Cause of the cool mermaid on the cup
It's ok, doesn't taste like shit, fast, and there's one on every fucking street. I personally like it, but it is not the best coffee just a quick expensive as fuck fix for your caffeine addiction.
> "lmao @ these retarded iFucks buying shitty expensive stuff to follow trends

> "OMG! I dont play 95% of my Steam games but I haaaaad to get it!!! Steam sales amiright xD. Gaben newell is muh dark lord/king/whatever
>>24148548
Because they never experienced the real italian espresso. They are numbed by that tea like thing that you all call coffee
I think their regular coffee is good, but Dunkin Donuts is better and you get way more for the money.
Ive never tried caribou coffee yet
>>24148645
It's actually a siren you fuck.
>>24148637
Girls like this complain about gaining weight despite eating healthy (which they might in their normal sit down meals) when they are almost constantly eating. I notice them all the time. Half their calorie intake is probably sugary coffee and shit from vending machines. Some people are just passive eaters.
>>24148548
i've had actual fresh coffee. starbucks ain't it.
and i'm not paying $5 for 500 calorie sugardrinks (with a little coffee in them).
i get my coffee from the local 7-11. half the price and tastes exactly the same. fuck starbucks.
>>24148854
They're both trash. I've had gas station coffee that tasted better than both of those.
>>24148548
because it's convenient and a booming business.
Would you rather go grocery shopping at walmart or go to that expensive ass hipster place no body knows about that you can't even find?
>>24148854
caribou outclasses both of them tbqh
>>24149002
>expensive ass hipster place
Starbucks?

>>24148548
Because Ameripoors will buy anything if you market it correctly and offer them ridiculous shit like caramel frappes.

>>24149002
Going gorcery shopping isn't the same as choosing to go to Starbucks when there are numerous better options
Coffeefags are literally the worst
>>24148548
i buy the bags of starbucks coffee from the grocery store. but that's it.
you're fucking retarded if you spend $2.50 on a cup of coffee or $5+ on a 700 calorie cup of sugarmilk.
>>24148548
You guys can just get regular coffee at starbucks you know right? You dont need tons of caramel, sugar, etc in it.. Although I agree its still overpriced, I dont see how you can knock the taste. Its very good coffee, definitely better than any fast food place, gas station, or even like 90% of cafes
>>24149122
>he can't afford $2.50!
>>24149124
>Its very good coffee
Openly admitting to being this delusional
>>24149370
have you had it? Although maybe its different here in canada, but I dont know what more you'd want out of coffee. Its maybe a tad strong but thats never bothered me
>>24149370
>He can't afford 2.50
>Not understanding the flaw in this logic
>>24149124
Even for the regular coffee it's overpriced.
McDonalds had it right when its large coffee used to be a dollar. Fuck inflation.
>>24148854
I feel the opposite about Dunkin cofee, it tastes pretty blank at least where I get it. Starbucks on the other hand has really good reserve coffees and a much better dark roast.
>>24149043
>owning a simple manual espresso machine
These are too expensive. I would like to drink espresso but I am stuck with a french press.
>>24149484
>he thinks Starbucks notoriously shitty coffee is strong.
You don't know what more you'd want out of coffee because you have no taste and it doesn't occur to you that it's shit.
>>24149535
Anyone who brings up the meagre cost of something is indicating that they cannot afford it or would see that loss off money as a negative
I enjoy their chai tea lattes
no matter way to start the morning than a caffeine-induced shit
>>24149539
I FUCKING AGREED WITH YOU THAT ITS OVERPRICED
holy fuck you guys are retarded, do you even read? I said its overpriced but also good coffee, the two aren't mutually inclusive, or dependent on each other. They are different things
>>24148548
It's convenient and at least tastes better than the hot water with slight burned bean taste that's available at convenience stores.
Who /mokapot/ here?
Have you learned to love this bitter black sludge?

it's hot garbage water

You have to consider the value of what you are buying

You don't see that loss of money as a negative? You might be retarded.
>>24149597
You can buy them for $100 and they'll last a good couple of years if you descale them regularly.

remember, this is a guy who has to brag about his money on /r9k/ of all places. He probably doesn't have that much.
also, fwiw, the richest people I've known have also been the tightest with money I've ever known. They wouldn't be buying coffee, they'd be making it at home and putting it in a thermos.
>>24149691
A well made coffee (from somewhere that isn't Starbucks) is worth the value of what I pay for it.
>>24149697
>he's so impoverished or miserly that $2.50 would actually be considered a negative loss of money to him
I'm sorry you're this poor.
>>24149606

>>24149862
>A well made coffee (from somewhere that isn't Starbucks) is worth the value of what I pay for it.
Agree with this statement, but...
>he's so impoverished or miserly that $2.50 would actually be considered a negative loss of money to him
This is a very retarded statement. If you don't think so, may I bill you $2.50 for every breath you take from this point forward?
>>24149658
southern italian here.
moka all the way or
super strict espresso at the bar. the size of a shot of liquor, not a drop more.
starbucks is goat shit.
>>24149819
>implying laughing at people who are so poor that $2.50 matters is bragging about money.
Nice attempt to rewrite the narrative, you butthurt impoverished fucking loser.

>>24149863

Drinking black coffee 'for the REAL taste' is pretentious as fuck. I put as much creamer into my coffee as it takes until it tastes like candy.

KEK.
At least put some effort in you ridiculous child.
starbucks has rly good wifi & never crowded. only reason to prefer vs hipster cafe w/ cute baristas pulling exquisite shots and making me crema my pants
>>24150359
>I can't give away money for air
You can.
Just find someone and give it away. Say you're doing it for air. It's that simple. I do it all the time.
Or are you too poor? That's likely the case, if you're committed to rationalizing this hard.
>>24148954
Wow you've had coffee before? That's so cool
Just so you know starbucks literally serves regular fuckin coffee
Why are people trashing starbucks? You can buy the fat gross sugarry drinks but most people go there to buy regular fuckin coffee
They pour it out the coffee maker, add milk and sugar or whatever you want and there you go
How the fuck can you hate on that?
It's a damn coffee joint
>>24150322
>people have different tastes
>people prefer not to drink large amounts of sugar several times of day
Imagine that
>>24150359
>At least put some effort in you ridiculous child.
didn't take any effort to reduce your argument to a contradiction, but it's w/e. tbqh starbucks needs lots of suckers to keep forking over thousands of dollars a year for their shit. enjoy "racing together" or whatever starkeks were doing this year. im out.
>>24150409
>you should give away money for a thing nobody gives away money for and this is the same as buying a coffee or anything else actually tangible.
KEK.
You're just going to get on trying to force this, aren't you? I'm sorry being too poor to afford coffee triggered you this much that you actually think you're presenting a reasoned argument here.
>>24150486
I don't personally enjoy their drip coffee. It's roasted much darker than I prefer, and often quite bitter as a result. That said, I still drink it occasionally.
>>24150513
>comparing a tangible purchase with an invented one means I've proven your argument is a contradiction.
This is feminist tier arguing.

shit coffee for 2x-3x the price
>>24150486
yeah the coffee is bad though. I try to like it and its just not good. not a milker or sugarer though
Some espresso drinks are OK
>>24150580
>"You don't want to pay too much for something" = "You're too poor to buy it"
This is the logical flaw that I think was quite clearly exposed. Stay keked.
wow people are fukkin mad about coffee
>Coffee is actually known by connoisseurs as a 'sweet' beverage. But shush... you're not supposed to know that. And who doesn't want you to know? Grocery stores and coffee chains who need way too much profit margin to sell you the very highest grades or freshest possible coffee (coffee in grocery stores sits on shelves for months).
>>24148548
Tastes good. Gives me caffeine.
Order a Cafe Misto.
Grande is only 2.99
And you get a flavour pump in it so good.
>>24150652
You should pay for something that isn't sold = "I've proven that I'm not too poor to pay for something that is sold"
>this is an argument.
If you bring up the cost of something as a negative when the cost is a meagre amount, then you clearly resent the notion of spending that money and are likely too poor to afford it.
>>24150967
>Being this autistic
OK, instead of breaths of air, let's make it concrete for you. I want to sell you a single sheet of 8.5x11" loose leaf paper for $2.50.
It's a "meagre" amount. Do you accept?
>>24148548
Why drink that shit?
Why not just buy a moka and coffee?
>>24150923
>only 2.99
Coffee for many people is an everyday thing. 2.99 or even more is fine if you want to treat yourself but way too much for your daily dose of caffeine, and if you want to treat yourself, why go to someplace with famously mediocre/bad coffee like starbucks?
>flavour pump
Absolutely disgusting.
You've demonstrated exactly the kind of lifestyle this thread is mocking.
I don't understand why people say starbucks is overpriced, I had it for the first time this year I paid 5.40AUD for their Venti size or whatever the fuck it's called, their largest cup. It's larger than every other cup from coffee joints and the same price.
>>24151102
Sorry senpai i'm new to coffee.
>>24151005
>bein this autistic because you are still trying to force a poorly reasoned point
A single sheet of paper has no worth to me. I don't want one, so I won't spend the money on it.
On the other hand, I do want a coffee and I can see the value in purchasing one so here is $2.50.
>>24151247
So I take it that if you actually wanted that sheet of paper at that moment, you'd buy it.
>>24151301

>>24148854
As a dunkin wageslave i can confirm this. I always make sure our coffee is fresh
I mainly drink it for the caffeine boost. But after a while you don't feel the caffeine so you have to take a week off from drinking it. I also love the taste because I naturally love bitter things. I have fucked up tastes.

I'm a barista! I work at a good old fashioned expresso and coffee shop.
People who visit are usually older men, moms, and college students who want a quiet place to study. Same prices as Starbucks, but no corners cut in making drinks traditionally. Once you've tried nice quality stuff, everything else is suboptimal. Strive for the best, folks!

>drinking the ground-up jew
I'm a barista at Starbucks, actually. We're always understaffed and for breaks I usually have to be making drinks for both drive and front. It's stressful as fuck for only $9. You have to make drinks so quickly and in such a quantity that you're bound to mess up. When I do I just hand it out anyways because it would back everything up way too much to remake it.
