ARE YOU KIDDING???!!!

Starbucks coffee is tasteless. It’s for sissy’s. IT’S NOT NEARLY DARK ENOUGH (BITTER AND BURNT ENOUGH). Go to Europe, or the Middle East or South America.

These knuckleheads have no clue what good coffee tastes like. Starbucks is TOO WEAK!!

Asking a “typical” American what good coffee should taste like is like asking an Englishman about how Mexican food should taste (or any food for that mattter)!

Comment on Why I Threw Out My Gillette Shaving Cream by Lee

I work in a hospital and shave a patient every now and then. We have those mini cans of goop for shaving cream. One day a fella, I was shaving, said you ever look at the ingredients in those cans. I said No, lets check it out. PROPANE! the stuff I run in my grill. So out with the can and in with the cream. A thumbnail size of cream in a wet shaving bowl, a wet shaving brush and 60 sec. your ready to go. I have the soap that came with the bowl, for backup but I will go without shaving before I use can stuff again. Sorry to say, the hospital still has canned goop.

i LIKE Starbucks coffee. I drink it black either espresso or America. I don’t find it acidic which is what i most dislike in some coffee and in coffee that has sat for too long.

It seems it’s not for everyone as I do know people who complain about it..

Outside of taste tests and other subjective means of measurement, coffee is chemically proven to be a sweet drink when the beans are fresh and roasted properly. I have tasted fresh coffee overnight fedexed from columbia by a missionary my church had there. Without sugar it was still almost to sweet, so I researched coffee for a while and found that it is supposed to be mildly sweet hen fresh. No subjectivity, Starbucks is s**t, burnt and bitter.

It has become worse, more bitter. If you want to really see how bitter StarBucks’s coffee has become, just ask for a shot of espresso. I’m talking about so bitter you think it’s poison and want to spit it out. I can only imagine biting into a goats gall bladder could be worse.

Interesting approach to de-humanize the family farm. Not a single picture chosen for this brief includes the grower. The bottom line is these growers take on incredible risks year after year to provide a product for others to enjoy.

I recently bought a “Lion Match Company” (I’m from South Africa) set of safety blades and holder… whatever you call it. This was inspired by 1) An article on “real men” I read recently and 2) by environmental consciousness… Like I say, I’m from South Africa and in the last 20 years, redevelopment has taken priority over everything environmental (I’m from Durban… ironic, we’re destroying our country and still holding a climate change conference… fooz blah blah… quickly, the IMF gave us R80bil to build green power plants and we used it to build more coal fired plants…. calming now)…where was I ah yes, so after using safety blades to shave with, I started wondering what is wrong with consumers. Safety blades are by far a more superior blade than any 3, 4 or 5 blade disposable. Granted, I ended up with a minor scratch the 1st 1 or 2 times but now it’s just pure close shave. Anyway, I’m still shoping around for a bar, I still have my grandfathers brush and bowl that he told me I’d never use. Everyone should shave this way, it not only makes environmental sense but financial sense too.
