dorkwad69 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Well it's definitely NOT the coffee... Their brewed coffee tastes like last night's used coffee grounds and all that blended frou-frou crap with cream is just plain ridiculous. Really, what can be a gayer sight than a buffed-up guy sipping a 'mocha frap' (god i hate those shortcuts) with whipped cream? Me? Give me "forty-five-choice-co-ffee-beans-in-a-cup-of-blend-forty-five!" - remember to get your syLLAbles correct when you sing. Quote Link to comment
tabouki Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) uso-uso / gaya-gaya ang pinoy esp. pag may nag-hit sa amerika at nagkaroon ng branch/ franchise dito. pag may mag-hit na TAHO-shop na sosyal sa amerika, just wait n see pag dinala dito. tas may u.s. celebrity endorser na kesyo nutritious health benefits etc... LETS GO SAGOW! mental coloniality pa rin ang pinoy! Edited May 14, 2007 by tabouki Quote Link to comment
okey_lang2 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 ABSULUTELY NOTHING>>>> we drink the brand. starbucks beans are all dark roasted and dry, for commercial purposes and long shelf life. good coffee should be medium roasted. double dosed atleast for me. on my personal opinion, if you want good coffee go to ucc or coffee beanery Quote Link to comment
Boysbe Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Because of its location, :upside: ,pagkatapos uminom sa may Adriatico, deretso na sa may harap ng Robinsons Ermita para makapag cape,sakto lang...malapit pa sa TGI fridays. uso-uso / gaya-gaya ang pinoy esp. pag may nag-hit sa amerika at nagkaroon ng branch/ franchise dito. pag may mag-hit na TAHO-shop na sosyal sa amerika, just wait n see pag dinala dito. tas may u.s. celebrity endorser na kesyo nutritious health benefits etc... LETS GO SAGOW! mental coloniality pa rin ang pinoy! Sakto, sana i-endorse rin nila yung adobong aso sa ibang bansa noh? yayaman tayo diyan,o kaya gin pomelo.. Quote Link to comment

canman Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 coffee aside Starbucks in my opinion overall does a better job at most everything else compared to the other coffee shops. Locations, service, quality, promotions, their employees etc. To say otherwise you would have to be pretty naive or not very observant. Quote Link to comment
evo9 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 true with starbucks its not just the product but the overall experience of drinking coffee there Quote Link to comment
taz31 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 people go to strabucks, not for the coffee, but to be seen there drinking their coffee. Quote Link to comment
Don Carleone Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 i dnt knw either.. coffee is cofee.. Quote Link to comment
Chinelas1 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I agree....ambiance, finest picked beans, selections, and wi-fi. The funniest thing is that I was recently in Seattle and people hardly go to Starbucks and they go to other up coming joints! LOL Quote Link to comment
Sizqo Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I tried several coffee shops but i consider starbucks is one of the best Quote Link to comment
sitilim Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 its a novelty thingy.. for most coffee experts... starbucks is trash. it really depends on "how high" above sea level the coffee is grown in the coffee belt... (where coffee is produced)... japan has really good tasting coffee... most of it sourced from colombia Quote Link to comment
mc_darklight Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 dunno it's just coffee Quote Link to comment

I wonder what kind of taste you want for your coffee... speaking of buffy guy... its not gay thing holding a mocha frappe... ur not just used to it... uso-uso / gaya-gaya ang pinoy esp. pag may nag-hit sa amerika at nagkaroon ng branch/ franchise dito. pag may mag-hit na TAHO-shop na sosyal sa amerika, just wait n see pag dinala dito. tas may u.s. celebrity endorser na kesyo nutritious health benefits etc... LETS GO SAGOW! mental coloniality pa rin ang pinoy! Oh sige palayasin nyo sila... ewan ko lang kun hindi tumaas na naman ang unemployment rate or jobless rate. Lets just be thank full that aside from the pleasure of having a taste of new york coffee, it provides job to many... Starbuks pasyalan kasi ng mga sosyal at mga nagpapanggap na sosyal.

Ang pinoy talaga madungis... ayaw ng sosyal ...ayaw ng malinis... Whats wrong with being a bit nice and having a bit glamour.... true with starbucks its not just the product but the overall experience of drinking coffee there YEP.... Quote Link to comment

pink_kuko69 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 great place to hang out. and yes, great place to spot guys Quote Link to comment
astonmartin Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 starbucks?? ..there are standards to meet in order to meet the requirements of a great coffee of which i think starbucks has but i dont think these standards are being followed or complied to by their staff and managers..yes, every coffee shop has good coffees to offer but it would greatly depend on how these preparations are being done, like for example, brewed coffees that starbucks sells each day differs, right? but didnt you know that brewed coffees only lasts for 1 hour and a half? and what they should do is to replace it with a new one that would also last for an hour and a half...Now lets go to the ever famous espresso drinks..like cappucino's, moccachino's, caffe latte and other hot drinks that needs an espresso. If you want to be meticulous about the quality of your espresso drinks, you should check on the espresso that comes out directly from the espresso machine,,check it out..look for the "crema" (holy grail of the baristas)..it should be the lovely, golden foam of coffee oils that covers a straight shot of espresso. Thick with aroma and flavor, it is the sign of proper coffee extraction and it should be golden brown. If it looks and smells burnt, well the espresso machine is not calibrated therefore the quality of your coffee is not good, not only that the milk that is to be mixed with the espressos should be steamed at the right temperature..160-170 degress farenheit to be exact, so if you see barista's steaming milk without thermometers,they could be experts on estimating the temperature of the milk but would you know how accurate he is or do you know how long he is working on that coffee shop/chain? I love starbucks but not here in the phiippines because i see negligence on how they prepare their coffees. They think so much of the quantity they serve and neglect the quality with which they are known for..so i think most young filipinos are in for starbucks is because of our colonial mentality. The good thing now is that starbucks is using our locally produced coffees but is selling it at a cost the same as the world class coffees... Quote Link to comment

angel_by_day Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 more than the name, it's the distinct taste. :thumbsupsmiley: and the thousand and one choices from which you could create your own blend. Quote Link to comment
amante Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) Starbucks....more than a cup of coffee...its an experience! The experience of buying over rated, over priced coffee!!! Edited June 25, 2007 by amante delsexo Quote Link to comment
