Charbucks... yuck. No, I buy from the Firehouse Coffee Company of Tacoma, WA. My favorite is the Peruvian Café Femenino they sell.djm wrote:I hope you aren't referring to that Starbucks piddle.

Well since I live in a virtual coffee wasteland, Charbucks is really the only thing that even remotely good. I used to love to stop at Piccolo's when I would go grocery shopping (that was the one that was outside all of the stores in Olympia at least...they did have a bigger one on a corner in Seattle too. Wow do I miss that!). Although I do get Green Mountain Coffee from time to time from our local co-op. That's pretty good too.jsluder wrote:Charbucks... yuck.

Hm. Let's do some math.The company, Schultz says, currently has about 11,000 stores in 37 countries and they are opening an average of five stores per day.
"It's an unbelievable number to me to be honest with you," he says.
There really are Starbucks across the street from each other. They do that to cut down on the lines. Starbucks says it has 40 million customers a week and the company brews 227 million gallons of coffee a day.
