Starbucks to up price of morning fix

[viceroy]

Out here in hollywood, I really don't have any option other than starbucks when I want a coffee out on the go. Back home in buffalo, there were so many good places to get coffee, that I never went to starbucks. It was all about supporting good coffee houses that care more about their patrons rather than their profits.

The sad thing is only 10% of the price of a cup of coffee actually goes to the country that produced it.

Starbucks was already hugely expensive anyway. The food is even worse, best part of 4 quid for a distinctly average sandwich?!

1 mocha latte please...here's my wallet

I got an excellent Krups coffee machine for about ?65 and now have an unlimited mocha lifeline. It makes tremendous espresso and froths up milk real nice.

I think 'bucks coffee is v much overrated and way too expensive. At least they pay marginal lip service to free trade.

Their capuccino's have a semipermeable white mousse at the top - the sort of stuff they use at Amnesia foam parties to drown the Trancers, or pump into cavity walls. You put in some sugar ... it rejects it - then after finally beating the hell out of it with all manner of things do the granules finally sink.

Give me real Italian coffee any day of the week.
