Carribou is nothing more than Green Mountain Coffee rebranded for people who live in Charlotte...er, ah - nevermind.

Yea same here, I think it's been about 2-3 years for mine as well. I love the fact that you can just order up whatever you want and have 5 different cups without wasting anything.

Doing Tea and Hot Cocoa is pretty cool too.

My thoughts exactly. Someone from Starbucks, needs to take a trip to Rome and learn how to make strong coffee that doesn't taste like you licked an ashtray. lol

Ever since I purchased a Kuerig machine, I never purchase coffee "out" now. I love that thing.

Really? I hear those are awesome...what's it set you back?

Heres a thought....make your own coffee! Save hundreds a year!
And when I get sick of reg. coffee, I pour some coffee-mate vanilla caramel flavor in there.

My travel mug has replaced the cigarette as a social crutch. When there's nothing to say, take a swig.

Or, just don't drink coffee at all. I've never figured out the craze for coffee, I can't stand how it tastes. Give me a glass of water and I'm off to start my day.

I simply love the taste of coffee. I usually brew decaf in the morning at home, and drink decaf in the afternoon. Caffeine gives me a headache.

I think Starbucks is my favorite out of Dunkin, McDonalds. In terms of price

McDonalds = $1.85 for large
Starbucks = $2.05
Dunkin = 2.12$

Starbucks tastes the most like genuine coffee, dunkin is very watered down and sweet. Mcdonalds is like a cross between Dunkin and starbucks.

I agree that the whole foods roast makes really good coffee. I just dont have time to make my own coffee, the 2 dollars a day is worth it and that is proabably the last thing I would give up.

In a strange move of the year they got rid of Dunkin Donuts in Meriden's S&S and replaced it with Starbucks...
