I don't like SB's Pike Place when they make it for me but I love brewing it at home (don't know why it tastes better at home). Decaf Americano at SB is also just ok. I've never tried the blonde roast because they don't have it in decaf. In general, I really like all the decaf SB I make at home -- good for my wallet :)

Yeah, my fiancé actually loves getting coffee from the small conscience store. Last week he decided to find out who makes the coffee for them, and bought it wholesale to brew at home. It's pretty good!!!
For me, I enjoy coffee in the morning as soon as I wake up, but I love the trip to go get another from a coffee shop. Maybe I'm weird, but it makes my day[emoji847]
I would try blonde, it's pretty good! Ask if they have it in decaf. But most SB only have it in the morning because it has a bit more caffeine than Pike or dark roasts because it doesn't take as much time roasting as the others.
Americano is my favorite!!! Smooth!

I have a Keurig at home and buy the McDonald K Cups often. BUT....in my opinion, K Cups just don't taste the same as the brewed coffee at the stores. I always buy different brands, but to me they just taste the same and it's hard for me to differentiate between what actually tastes "good" and "not so good". I do know that K Cups are not as strong as other coffees, too. I am currently addicted to McDonald's coffee. I am still a huge SB fan, but find that it is quite strong and bitter. McDonald's is just smooth, light and smells so yummy! Plus, it only costs $1 ANY SiZE!!! Go try it, and if you don't like it, it's only $1 lost. Lol :).

If I want a latte or something I like Starbucks, but for just regular coffee, McDonald's is so good, I am convinced there is crack in there! Lol! For some reason the flavor is almost addicting, you don't want your cup to end! I didn't like the McDonald's Kcups as much, they taste totally different Imo. My favorite are the Green Mountain Nantucket blend.

Ok, I tried out McDonalds coffee -- it's pretty good (thanks PuccaNGaru!). The only thing is that it is easier for me to go to Starbucks than McDonalds since there are Starbucks inside Target and my local supermarkets.

I usually get McDonald's coffee every morning before I go to work, and then I get a Starbucks in the afternoon. Can't believe I'm saying this...but I actually think McDonald's coffee tastes better than Pike![emoji15] I do love the SB Blonde roast, but it's never available and ready in the afternoon, it's always on pour over. And actually, 99% of the time I end up waiting 10 minutes for my coffee because they forgot they were doing a pour over. I am a bit annoyed with Starbucks right now (price increases due to poor Frap sales)...I did go today, but I will try somewhere new tomorrow.

For strictly regular coffee I prefer McD's! I don't eat there but like the coffee and large is only $1 plus tax here

There was a time I was going there for coffee everyday for two weeks straight! I would often wonder if anyone I know recognizes my car and thinks I eat there as well...yikes! I only get coffee there, that's all. :smile:

TBH, I wouldn't care if someone thinks I eat there. If they're worrying about what I'm eating, then they obviously don't have anything to truly worry about.
