To me, DD's are all different. Some are staffed sufficiently with competent even sometimes cute little employees who dump out the coffee left on the heater after 16 minutes (or whatever the official company policy is) and they don't roll their eyes when you order a breakfast sangy, and some others..... well they're the ones that lead to threads like these.

I've since stopped drinking coffee... but when I was a 2 cup/day guy, I eventually gave up DD because it is impossible to get two cups of coffee that taste the same. Maybe out of different trips, 2 would taste similar.

Starbucks on the other hand. Everyone complains that it's soooo much more expensive, but it's just a stigma. The coffee is maybe .10-.15 more, but every cup will taste exactly the same regardless of when or where you go.

perhaps the Plugfest demands

is keeping our fearless anti DD's champion out of service


i figure my coffee costs me 25- 50 cents per cup
and there is no temptation to buy Doughnuts

I hit Starbucks every morning and the large Coffee is actually 10 cents cheaper than a large at Dunks....$2.05 vs $2.15

They give it to me black and I get to fix it just the way I want it...
