If Starbucks is so bad, where can I get great coffee? (New York: home, to buy)

[jackswastedlife]

Most New Yorkers seem to hate Starbucks. I don't hate it, I think it's just ok, but which places do you think a person should go to get great coffee in the city?

Your kitchen
Don't be lazy
American are so lazy
That they need to search a place to buy a cup of coffee

This should probably be in the poetry sub-forum. Maybe a mod can move it.

It's beautiful.

Lol yep! There is nothing wrong with Starbucks. If I had one complaint it would be the some of the prices but other than that it's fine.

Yeah people hate on Starbucks and go to psuedo mom and pop coffeshops that are tacky and cliché thinking they're individuals by following their friends opinions about hating Starbucks.

Starbucks is okay sometimes but overpriced. To my tastes I prefer their mixed coffee drinks because they hide the burnt taste of their coffee. I don't really like the way they roast the coffee.

You can definitely make better coffee at home yourself with a french press. It just takes a few minutes. Bustelo, Lavazza, or Joe coffee are good choices. If you have a little extra time you can buy beans instead of ground coffee and use a Burr grinder.

However I do get annoyed by people who don't know a lot about coffee saying Starbucks is the best or swearing by it. It's just corporate group think...
