Lol. I actually do too. Sarcasm/humor font must not have been on. I hate Starbucks. A red-eye from Coffee Bean is the only chain store I'll buy from. I think McDonald's and Arco dark roast are the best cheap coffees out there.
I don't have the patience to grind beans anymore... I've found that a mix of Don Francisco Hawaiian and their espresso makes for a pretty good drip brew at home.

We roast beans once a week in a Gene Café machine, store the beans in airtight jars after off-gassing and use a Barratza Encore burr grinder. Since the fancy single cuppers take too long to make a pot we have an off the shelf drip brewer that goes into an insulated carafe and doesn’t sit on a hot burner. Controlling every step of the process insures a smooth, flavorful cup that goes down easy and is good to the last sip.

Good coffee doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s as simple as buying a pound from a local coffee house. Have them grind it, yup I said it! Just make sure they grind it for your filter type (paper or metal). Put your ground coffee in an air tight container and refrigerate. Brew with a decent of the shelf drip brewer that has a bold or strong setting. Skip adding any flavorings or processed creamers. Pour into your favorite Jeep mug or insulated cup and enjoy.
Here’s to keeping it simple:

Nobody really LIKES coffee. We just NEED it to get through the day without killing anyone.

I haven't had Starbucks it probably 10 months. After having good local roasts and BRCC I won't go back. I had their app and everything. Little did I know the stars expire so my free drinks disappeared. Fuck them. Plus I don't agree with their political stance.
This. I have read more and more that it's best to keep your coffee in a dark or opaque airtight container at room temp not the fridge or freezer.

Technically Peets helped get Starbucks off the ground. A few Starbucks were co-owned by one of the Peets founders but no longer.NOOOO!!! [emoji47][emoji33]
For local SoCal coffee there is Klatch (Ontario/Rancho), The Roasted Bean aka TRB (San Dimas), and I recently found Wild Goose (Redlands). We have Tonyan up here in Apple Valley.

I stand corrected. The Starbucks founder had owned a few Peet's locations but sold them in the late 80s. My daughter used to be a manager for Starbucks and she told me they owned Peet's so I took her word on it... Bites me every time.
Carry on enjoying your coffee, Greer. Sorry to freak you out for a minute there.

I went to college in Berkeley and used to visit the original Peets location there.
To me, Starbucks is like McDonalds. An abominable last resort.
To be honest, I don’t drink much coffee any more. Some instant coffee in my breakfast drink and then a cup of black tea in the afternoon. No more 3-4 cups of coffee a day, as in my younger days.

Yeah my wife who was an avid Starbucks drinker, but has significantly cut back due to fresh coffee at home, said last week. Starbucks just tastes watery to me now...haha. I drank a lot of energy drinks 10+ a week. Over the last 6-8 months I've had maybe 1-2 every couple weeks as I prefer coffee so much more now. I feel it's a better choice. Black coffee doesn't have all the other BS in it.

For all my fellow coffee drinkers, Black Rifle was on CBS this morning. Great video on the culture of the company and the owners

Thanks for posting that up. Having met Even Haffer and been to BRCC in Salt Lake what was said is 100% accurate. Like the community here, they speak what they believe and if you don't like it get the fuck out. If they upset you their coffee isn't for you. Your loss.

That’s interesting, your statement about room temperature vs. refrigerated. I haven’t heard that before, but haven’t researched it either. Good to know!

I’ve always kept excess ground coffee in the freezer. Never noticed a difference. I’ve been grinding my own beans for a few months now though.
