Black Dog Vs Starbucks

[sportsmedjosh]

How does black dog compare to the starbucks roasts. Moving to the east coast from California everyone here swears by dunkin doughnuts and I think it's the most disgusting thing ever. So I would like to know how it compares to something I know I enjoy and is around a lot of other places as well.

Ive never had black dog, but i think starbucks is over rated and over priced.

A lot of people think starbucks is over priced. What I've noticed when I talk to people is I ask what they order and they typically don't order regular coffee but order the speciality drinks and I'll agree, that is where it starts to get expensive.

AMEN! Of course the original question is like comparing Dominican/Nicaraguan, Nicaraguan/Cuban and so forth. It's all a matter of taste.

I am not a coffee drinker but got a 1/2 pound gifted to me and I loved it!!! I am most def. ordering some more. That is my .02 on the topic!!

D&D does suck. They used to be ok, but have gone way down hill in the last couple of years. Starbucks is over priced, but I don't feel that they are over rated. I think that they are great! However I recently ordered the Black Dog sampler & I love it. I brewed Starbucks every morning at my home. I'm switching to Black Dog. It's a little cheaper & fresh roasted. The taste is excellent. I let my girl friend try two of their blends today & she loved them as well. I'll still stop in at a Starbucks when I'm out & about. But I recommend trying out Black Dog. They also sponsor the site. Just one more reason to give them a shot.

4/3 of people are bad with fractions.

I think I'll give it a shot then. Thanks guys.

You won't be sorry Josh. Try the sampler. Black Dog late this afternoon is the reason I can't sleep now!

WTF Starbucks, Dunkin Doughnuts where`s the Tim Hortons. You mean you are all missing roll up the rim to win. I feel al your pain but I think I will open some Montecristo Coffe in the morning. Hope it`s not all marketing

Starbuck's coffee asin go up there and order an expresso, is worse than drinking car oil in Mexico. Have yet todrink it in the U.S. (not looking forward, though)

I think all the specialty drinks covers up the over-roasted taste of starbucks. Some people like that. Hell my friend's wife liked her food slightly charred on the grill which is what I call BURNT. To each their own.

Starbucks is definitely overpriced and everything at Dunkin Donuts has the same overall donut taste, I'm gonna order a sampler from Black Dog ever since Hardcore told me it was great coffee with a kick!!

To me, it's not even close. Black Dog uses superior beans, roasts them fresh and it's delivered to your door cheaper.

I can't ask for better than that.

Black Dog Coffee is the bomb. Small roasted, small batch! Great stuff. But, I am not a big coffee drinker. I loved the sampler of Black Dog that I got at XMAS, but give me a Dr. Pepper and I am just as happy! hehe.

Black Dog has some great coffee very good roasts. I am also a fan of Starbucks too. We also have a place around here called Beans and Brews that is better than SB IMO. Some of the best beans I have had came from Whole Foods. Yummy. Drink what you like and like what you drink. I like coffee black.

i'll jump on the wagon for bashing starbucks

It's over roasted. even a light brew in your home pot still tastes "strong". they roast the beans too long IMHO.

However, there's a CostCo brand that is roasted by starbucks inc that is around $10 for 2 lb. Tough to argue with that price. the only difference is the beans arent' all glossy like they are in a starbucks bag. thye're still over roasted, but i can deal with that for 10 cent per pot of coffee.

I grew up drinking my coffee black. I drank it light & sweet for a few years. The coffee we had at the place I was working was crap. It needed all the help it could get. Now I'm back to drinking it black. IMHO I feel it lets you taste a good cup of coffee a whole lot more.

 

[sportsmedjosh]

I enjoy and only drink my coffee black, I drink it for the caffeine and the taste, everything tastes the same when you throw milk and sugar. Might as well be drinking pop.

D&D is decent I get the turbo hot. Its still cheaper than Starbucks. Black Dog? haven't had I'll have to try some I guess. D&D's are independently owned so it varies as well.
