1. Starbucks coffe is the pits

I wouldn't buy another cup for anything. I have had bad coffee but I had a cup and left it sitting. I used to drink Folgers Columbian but the price tripled I went to Maxwell Columbian and it is just fine at half the price. I am a 7 to 8 cup of coffee a day drinker so I like coffee. I don't like slop. Gevelia is wonderful but that too is expensive.
