Starbucks price isn't what keeps me away, it's the coffee. The over-roasted "Charbucks" flavor just doesn't do it for me. I like strong coffee, but strong doesn't mean the beans should be roasted to a crisp, removing any natural flavor they may have had.

I do like their caramel apple cider, but I fail to see how they've managed to build an empire on such crappy coffee. (Oh wait, it's marketing... nevermind.)

For more affordable everyday coffee, Dunkin Donuts is the way to go.

Oh yeah, I'd be remiss if I didn't link to this little nugget while we're on the subject. (NSFW)
