I actually don't like Starbucks' coffee. Do you?

Going to independent coffee shops around here is a crap shoot. I just found one I do really like, but independent around here means the barista may or may not have been properly trained, they may or may not give you good customer service, and they may or may not remake your drink if they screw it up. I have no tolerance for that "too cool for school" attitude, so I'm happy to swing into a Starbucks. Independent places also expect a tip, and Starbucks often doesn't. So, really, it's cheaper too. If they swipe your card, they don't even give you a receipt to sign, so there isn't even an opportunity to tip, and in-store Starbucks don't accept tips. Call me cheap, but it keeps my bill down.
The other chains around here are Tully's and Pete's. I don't care for Tully's, and Pete's is okay but out of my way. It's a joke around here that there's a Starbucks on every corner, but there's a reason for that!

Starbucks is not "bad" per-se, it is just a tad over roasted.
Coffee lovers should stick to products that allow you to choose a roast.
Here are two I can vouch for, and profits go to charity. ^_^

I like very smooth blends, and so far my favorite is sold locally (in Birmingham) at a place called O'Henry's Coffees. While their Kona is a favorite (excellent choice), my absolute favorite is the Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. To me it is similar to Kona - very smooth, full of flavor but it will not make your hair stand on end at 6 a.m. I prefer a gradual transition in the mornings, rather than a gut-twisting jolt :) I buy the beans and grind them myself each day. I'm providing a link to O'Henry's Jamaica Blue Mountain, but before your eyes bug out (it's SO expensive), I will tell you I only buy this stuff once in a blue moon.

My husband on the other hand is a coffee fiend. He also hates Starbucks he swears by this brand made here in Alaska, apparently it is amazing, but on top of my hatred for coffee it also makes me sick due to a caffeine allergy so I can not verify that.

Come to think of it, I don't know if I've ever had a plain Starbucks coffee at all. I usually get a frappuccino with lots of whipped cream, and I suppose that dilutes the taste of the actual coffee.

For iced coffee, my favorite would have to be Dunkin Donuts Dark Roast. The cups are huge, the coffee is better and the price can't be beat. Regular McDonald's coffee would have to be my second favorite, including their iced coffee. The McCafe mocha, lattes and cappuccinos are really good. However, their new McCafe iced coffee is disgusting in my opinion. I couldn't even finish the cup I disliked it so much.
Green Mountain coffee, which is 'gas station' coffee up here in the North East, is surprisingly good.
Lately I've been introduced to Keurig's single serve coffee maker. My sister bought one of the Keurig-Cuisinart single serve brewers and I love trying the different coffee brands and flavors.

M$I love smelling the coffee when you open the can o scoop it out to place it in the coffee machine. When it’s brewing, it smells nasty. I love to bake chocolate cookies or cake with coffee as it seems to bring out the flavor of the chocolate even more.

As for regular coffee, I'll take Tim Horton's anyday. Maybe it's because I'm Canadian, but for me it tastes better then any of the regular coffees Starbucks comes out with each day. Thankfully here in Vancouver, BC we have a wide variety of coffee options. Tim Horton's, Starbucks, Bean Around the World, J.J. Bean's, Waves, Blenz, Caffe Artigiano, and many more.
