I never understood the lure of Starbucks that some people are hooked on. So I don't go there.

No, I say small, medium or large.

I must be a dweeb, because I like their dark coffee. Even when I buy beans to grind, I like the darker stuff.



Pro tip: the lighter roast coffees have more caffeine in them. The roasting burns off the caffeine chemical

"Large."

I know it grinds their gears, the few times I've graced the doors of one those establishments.

My wife (no pics) loves Starbucks and drags me along from time to time. I tell her I want a medium coffee and she translates for me

I say.. “can I get a small dark roast coffee please”

I don’t know much Starbucks lingo outside of saying “roast”.

I don't drink either coffee or tea (just don't care for the flavor of either) and I must say I'm kinda glad for that.

No coffee at all, and the only tea I ever enjoyed was from a wandering tea waitress in the lobby of a hotel in Tokyo.

I also liked their calm rooms, nice and cool, quiet, oxygen pumped in, like a mini garden, very nice.

I've only been to a Starbucks twice in my lifetime and have no plans of going back. First of all, their coffee is crap and the 2 times I had it, it tasted burnt.

The first time I went I walked into the shop and listened to some people ordering ahead of me and it sounded foreign and a bit over the top for coffee.

When it takes you two sentences to order a cup of coffee, somethings wrong.

It's what they call them. I don't ask for medium there just like I don't ask for a grande at PJ's

I haven't been to Starbucks in almost a decade. When I did go I said "large". I refuse to learn a new language just to order coffee.

Wouldn’t know. I tried Starbucks once. Tasted it and threw it in the trash. It tasted burnt. I drink community dark roast or cafe special. I can make a 12 cup pot for less than half the cost of one cup of garbage. I dont understand what people like about Starbucks.

I sold my stock in Starbucks so only go there if nothing else available. I actually prefer McDinalds coffee to Starbucks medium roast

If you order a man's drink, you dont have to frick with sizes.

Three shots of espresso, maybe a cortado. No sizes needed.

I generally only drink coffee when I get up in the morning then I’m good. If we go somewhere my wife likes to stop there and get some fancy flavored coffee with whipped cream and such. I’ve gotten one with caramel or something like that in it and it was good.

She can get that at McDonald’s now so no need to go there anymore.

Coffee with Baileys and Kahlua in it is good in the afternoon.
