I am honestly not trying to start a row, but i have no idea how that is even possible for people to like the coffee there, BUT yes, loads of people do go there, but does not necessarily mean it is any good, i mean....who would prefer a McDonalds burger to a gourmet/Homemade one, as far as i see it, it is shit for the masses. Just my opinion.

That's a poor analogy though. More people eat McDonalds' burgers than gourmet ones because of the cheaper price, not just the availbilty.

Conversely, Starbucks coffe is over £2, which is a premium price, yet a lot of people are still paying it.

Its clearly not 'shit' - just not to your personal taste, which is not the same thing.

Personally I can't stand Guiness or red wine. Doesn't mean they are both 'shit'.

The Red Roaster does do a very nice coffee. The Dorset Café also does a damn fine one.

Aside from that, nah - not for me, pretty much all the same.

I think Starbucks pissed a lot of people off with their behaviour in opening their St James Street shop.

Nothing wrong with instant in my book.

Fair point i guess, but in terms of my experience of Starbucks i have been served shit coffee each time, to which i decided if that is the standard then people must have no taste buds and i am not going back.

I'm more of a TEA man meself anyway. But I do have the odd cup of Nescafe instant, with a couple of spoons of Coffee Mate stirred in.

Gosh, that was INTERESTING wasn't it.

I hate PRET with a passion. The coffee's shit (well, the 99p black filter is fine value for money and I buy one most days but I'm ranting so ignore my double standards). The tea's shit and the foods overpriced shit. The one I go in always has JAZZ on at full blast which also means its full of Wankers.

Pret. Pah.

Can never understand the fascination of paying £3 + for a coffee. Looks a big con to me. Hvae tried a few times trying to understand but its all bollocks if you ask me.

The fact you have to que for it as well makes it even more bizarre

My regular SUNDAY Starbucks is in Winchester. It does a passable latte, decent hot chocolate for the kids, has a decent selection of CAKES, and is always RAMMED with 18 year old girls with long blonde hair, black tights, short denim skirts, and boots.

Works for me.

For a moment, I also thought Chappers was suggesting TIC TOC tea bags were worth drinking until I realised otherwise.

That Decaf bollocks is an INSULT I tell you.
