Today's Starbucks vs Peet's Post
Winds of Change said the following yesterday,
I grind beans and make coffee for TG in the morning (Peet's French Roast). And Starbucks makes rocking hot cocoa - I order a "nonfat, no-whip, no vanilla" - try it, you'll like it.So now hot cocoa is in the mix. Peet's for beans, Starbucks for hot cocoa. Dude, what about consistency. Shouldn't it be Starbucks OR Peet's? Whatever hapened to plain, old-fashioned Patriotism, anyway?
Alas, I am the same. Though I try never to let myself be more than aobut 300 years from a Peet's I prefer Starbucks for a latte. What is that all about? (I get soy latte's.) And my wife used to ONLY drink Starbucks lattes, "went off it" and only wanted Peet's latte's. And there was one guy and only one guy at the Peet's on Middlefield at Charleston in Palo Alto who made the foam just the right waym, so she had to get her Peet's latte there.
Comments
Starbucks = blech in my opinion. Gimme a cup of Dunkin Donuts java *any* day over that burnt-tire tasting Seattle stuff. Even IHOP has a better cup of bean soup. Peet's has good teas I must say - and the Guatamalan blend of coffee is very smooth and nice, like a coffee should be :^)
