Just curious to know. I'm more of a tea drinker but given the chance, I would pick Timmies because it's cheaper. If I didn't care about money, I'd pick Starbucks for sure.

Probably Starbucks. Their plain coffee isn't much more than Tim Hortons, but the quality is 90 times better.

The only time I ever get coffee outside of my home is when I'm travelling, so I don't know a lot about all the coffee places out there.  The only thing I do know, is Starbucks is too burnt and bitter for my taste buds.  It's rare that I would miss my morning home coffee, but if I did, I would just skip it for the day.

Green Kirkland coffee bag at Costco made by Starf*cks.

  Half price and good coffee.

I'm with Russ when I buy coffee it's the green bag of Starbucks from Costco, but when I pick a coffee shop I go to Blenz.

that costco coffee you are talking about. Are they beans? Does it say Starbucks on the bag? or just Kirkland?

sounds good to me.

It's beans, Kirkland House Blend made with beans roast by Starbucks.  BTW it is also Fair Trade Certified!  at $11.88 for 2lbs its a great deal.

I picked the "no I don't drink coffee."  Coffee makes me too jittery...even the decaf...but i have to say that i like the half decaf and half hot chocolate timmies offer. :)

I'm with Russ- Kirkland coffee at home (black) or SBucks French roast.
Sbucks reg coffee in the store is a bit too strong, though I love the espresso.

I drink Timmies double-double because Timmies coffee "tastes like dirty dishwater".  i believe Schady said that and it's true.

I've been cutting down on my coffee intake.  Usually 2 cups in the morning and maybe 1 cup later on.  Used to drink way more, but was getting major gutrot.

I only drink fair trade, organic coffee from a local place that also sells hemp seeds. So that's saying something, but I don't know what. lol

cool sports. It says Kirkland is a fair trade product too right on the bag...

I hope they are telling the truth!!(//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Angry/1.gif)

lol. Well since the school uses food as a money making expenditure to balance their budget when new buildings being built go over budget. Pricing for coffee (not owned by the school) in the wannabe lefty coffee place is the cheapest on campus. Only school in the world where its cheaper to get a burger and a beer at the student pub or a 12 inch sub from subway then getting a meal in the cafeteria.
