Race Trac or QT coffee is good enough for me.

man, yall some whiney mo Fo's Merry Christmas to all and to all order the Grande Latte made with half n half with whip    Grown azz men complaining about Starbucks on a hunting forum. Can we shelve the estrogen just for one day and talk about trucks, or chainsaws or something at least somewhat manly? What’s next, throwing a fit because your charcuterie board didn’t contain the proper ratio of grapes to hazelnuts? I don’t know, seems to be a lot of metrosexual lumberjack’s at the Starbucks…might be a good place to talk chainsaws. Maybe small batch artesian crafted chainsaws. Def. Not Stihl or Husqvarna. Would run on a lithium ion battery
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Whataburger does the same sizing crap with their onion rings, two choices; medium and large. I tried to explain to the wonder boy at the window that it’s impossible to have medium with only two sizes but it wasn’t going to sink in anyway. You use logic. That doesn't work on order takers.
Pass the gravy.

At $4 a cup; this will pay for itself in no time. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/12/full-38597-374988-20221224_094108.jpg)

Have been a share holder since early 09'. Their coffee is mediocre at best. If you want good whole beans in the Dallas area go to a place called The Cultured Cup. If you want a good cup of coffee handed to you try La La Land.
As a reformed Mormon I have quite the nose for good coffee. I can taste every single nuance of coffee the way wine snobs can pick apart a wine.
If anyone cares for my opinion the best coffees come from parts of the world with volcanic soils. Hawaiian Kona coffee, Guatemalan coffee, and coffee from the west coast of Africa.

Seldom buy made coffee outside the home. We get good beans, grind fresh, then use a French press. That’s much easier to do than you might think. Water at the right temperature is critical to good coffee. Boiling water is no bueno.
A few weeks ago I had a Starbucks $25 gift card awarded in a company event. Gave it to one of those families of Gypsies you see on the corner. They uttered curses at me.

Long before Starbucks American GIs drank fancy concoctions of coffee.
This was the coffee my RTO and I fixed. I originally got this idea from a WW2 Korean vet.
The coffee in C Rations was instant, but us Grunts created a Starbucks version before there was a Starbucks. A canteen cup of water heated with a heat tab, add 4 packages of instant coffee, all the creamer packs you could scrounge and pack of the hot chocolate ration. This concoction was enough for 2 people.
Today at deer camp we make it using Great Value instant coffee, instant coffee creamer, sugar and instant cocoa mix. I resupplied the stuff last week it cost about $20. No idea of how many cups it makes. Everybody just uses what the want. Doctor has me on a coffee restriction sod I double the cocoa mux and half the coffee with double the creamer and half the sugar.

This thread cause me to ask the wife about my 16 year daugthers daily trips there...
I said I am pretty sure she spends more there than she can afford, because its daily...
But wait, we have an app...and they share this app...that you can pay for, I am paying out the A for Starbucks and I just found out...
Im getting hammered at this place monthly, I know they both go everyday
Gotta pick ur battles around here, I swear...I haven't mouthed off just yet...it is Christmas still
