StarBucks coffee

[Rockport24]

I'm a coffee fanatic, but I don't like the starbucks brewed coffee, not that it tastes bad, it's pretty good actually, but it gives me the jitters everytime. Now I can drink a bunch of espresso and not get the jittrs, but something about starbucks, I think they infuse it with extra caffeine

yeah, it gives me the jitters too, which is part of its attraction.

a while back i went to an SBUX investor presentation. i asked a company exec what gave you more caffeine bang for yer buck ... he said a simple cup of brewed coffee has more caffeine than a double espresso.

yeah, everybody thinks espresso has so much caffeine in it, but the reality is it doesn't, it's just richer tasting coffe, more caffeine has nothing to do with it. Try substituting your morning dunks or regular american coffee with espresso and you'll see what I mean. Either that, or go to Italy and see how slow everybody's moving in the morning compared to here.

me too - I drink alot of coffee and can't stand Starbucks. I get the shakes too, which makes me think its super caffinated. I can drink ten cups of brewed coffee without any shakes
