My first choice is Caribou but it is quite a ways from my house. Starbucks is on the way to just about anywhere and is close to the house. I always get the Venti White Chocolate Mocha with extra white chocolate. I like the Turtle Mocha at Caribou. I don't think of it as coffee - its desert for me!
I enjoy fixing coffee every morning at home before my wife gets up. We use Great Value (Thank God for Wal-Mart) 100% Columbian and I put natural sugar and Cinnamon Hazelnut International Delight Creamer in mine! I make it extra strong and we absolutely love drinking coffee together in the mornings.
Mocha with an extra shot of expresso please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've had caribou also and they are a lot smoother than starbucks.... there is somewhat of a sweeter taste also. now for your great value???? no gracius amigo!

McDonald�s beats Starbucks in coffee smackdown

In the ultimate coffee smackdown, it was yuppie Starbucks vs. Ronald McDonald.
And the clown won.
Consumer Reports magazine said today that in a test conducted at two locations of each emporium, its tasters found McDonald's coffee to be "decent and moderately strong" with "no flaws." On the other hand, the Starbucks brew "was strong, but burnt and bitter enough to make your eyes water instead of open."
The March issue of the magazine, due out Monday, thus advises, "Try McDonald's, which was cheapest and best."
Actually, not all that much cheaper. McDonald's now charges $1.35 for what the magazine considers a "medium" sized cup of Joe. Starbucks gets $1.55 for about the same size cup. But of course, McDonald's has yet to offer half-cap lattes and it's hard to imagine Ronald in basic barista black.
Other fast-food coffees in the test included those from Burger King ("tasted more like hot water") and Dunkin' Donuts ("inoffensive").
No matter how much McDonald's revels in its win of the taste test, the company might be hard-pressed to use it in promotions. Consumer Reports, which takes no advertising, strictly prohibits companies from using its findings in ads.

mcdonalds had to pay for this. ive tasted their "new" coffee and it is dirt mixed with sewage water.
FRED,
while I am a major fan of hyperbole (and an alleged 'perp' of such a writing style), your reply, though entertaining, is completely void of reality.

It is not completely void of reality, it does contain that very specific reality only found in the minds of FERD and Lady Chocolate!
