I was in for a SHOCK the other day... Dunkin fucking Donuts just raised their Prices just days ago..
I paid OVER $3.. $ 3.24 with tax I think it was, for 1 MED Coffee, and 1 French CRULLER (and I SWEAR I think they are making them SMALLER, its like 2 bites , done )
they have lost their minds.
So , $2.35 for a breakfast.. man, thats pretty good.
Yes, ordering grande beers for 100 pesos at D'Latin = $2.35 approximately and a bucket of 5 regular size Presidentes at Mamajuana Cafe = under $2 per beer... This is the good ole times. Prices here are cheap. You expect cheap, but it is really cheap... Half a roast chicken with fries for less than $5 yes... piping hot out of the kitchen... The only expensive thing here is the airplane flight cost... in my humble opinion... Yes you can spend a lot of money if you want...but you certainly don't have to... Thanks Seville for this fine thread.
When someone find a coffee Burnt over its because they find the coffee to much strong(unless its really shit), for starbuck, I never found the taste burnt over.
As for me, I find starbuck coffee not enough strong.... I like VERY VERY strong coffee... I like their coffee.. I'd actually like it if it was little more strong.. but i still like it.
I'm still "Just A Lurker."

You nasty old fucks aren't 50 yet? (I am!)
So far it's been some of the best times of my "normal" life!
I make my own coffee. (Kerig and imitators suck! )
Dominican, Kenyan, Kona, Guatemalan, organic, "shade grown", "fair trade", whatever, in a French Press. Freshly ground.
I've not bothered buying a roaster yet but my oven seems to do ok.
And it's (coffee is) one of the few things that I don't care what it costs! (Coffee and airfare...got to have them!)
Starbucks is terrible coffee...try McDonalds if you are in need of "bought" chain coffee. Get an "Americano" with a shot or 2 of extra espresso.
When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
Your opinions are not my problem...
I think they're mostly marketed to yachtsmen ... it's like a miscegenation between a French press and a Melitta drip-coffee pot, or like a humongous hypodermic syringe with a reinforced coffee-filter holder instead of the pointy end. Put a filter in the holder and twist it onto the cylinder, fill it with the appropriate amount of loose coffee (fine ground), put it on top of the cup and add near-boiling water to the mark; stir it up a few seconds, then put in the plunger and slowly press the coffee into the cup.
Funniest thing is, they're made by the same company that makes the Aerobie, a super-Frisbee kind of flying ring.
Boring! Let's talk about tea.
