I love my folgers and I don't think anything will cause me to change.
I am not a coffee drinker so it is nt hard for me to resist Starbucks. I do like their apple-carmel with whippped cream drink. But I usually let someone else buy for that business meeting. It is too expensive for me to purchase on a regular basis. I can't justify the cost of their products.

We are also using folgers, cheaper but still good.

I have never been a fan of Starbucks; I am the Dunkin Donuts' spokesperson.  I love their Boston Creamed bismarks and their hot chocolate is better.  I have tasted Starbucks coffee brands before (it was a promotional item) and it tasted like quinine.  I don't see the reason why people are willing to spend an arm and a leg for that. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

For years, I drank Sbux with some regularity. Then I got a Keurig at home... I drink the flavored kcups and do not have to add all the crap that goes into those $5 coffees. It has more than paid for itself and it tastes way better.

Nope, you're not alone. Their coffee is expensive and what I've heard from family is that it taste like crap. So I never bothered to buy it.

I'm not a huge Starbucks fan, but I recently won a $15 gift card to there. I guess I'll have to get a nice raspberry hot chocolate or something.

I never go to a starbuck's anymore. I used to go once and awhile until it started bothering my stomach because of the strength of the coffee. I hear they have lightened up on the strength over the years but, still the cost is too much that I won't go back. So to answer your question, no you are not the only one that is not a starbucks fan!!

I am with you I tried Starbucks once and I did not like there regular coffee and never went back so I didn't try anything else.  I like my coffee which is Folgers but I also like Maxwell house but mainly we drink Folgers.  Some times I add my own flavor to my coffee just eliminate the creamer. Its English Toffee cappuccino one big heaping and that is just once in a while when I am craving something a little sweet.

I agree that Starbucks is too expensive.  Even a "small" costs more than a large Dunkin Donuts or at least my homemade Keurig.  My sister got me the latter for Christmas and I love it.  I stopped spending so much time and money at coffee shops. :thumbsup:

I think the coffee tastes good but the atmosphere can feel a bit snobish and I have had and know others that have gotten poor customer service. Dutch Bros. is nice in our area because the coffee is good and they are very friendly to customers. Overall I only have coffee occasionally and tend to make it at home more often then drinking at a coffee shop.
