Cafe Nero do them very tasty! Foam in Terenure do a great coffee too. Have to agree Starbucks is horrible coffee.

I like Starbucks coffee, probably because in work we had costa and I hated it and the Starbucks coffee was a lot smoother.

I wouldn't drink many of the main brands apart from Insomnia.

In spar and petrol station shops that sell Insomnia wouldn't be the same as what you'd get in the Insomnia coffee shops.

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

I like coffee the way I like my men - black and strong.

Think it depends on the country you're in tbh. McDonald'coffee is very nice at home but absolute p*ss abroad.

Starbucks is nicer in Dubai than it is in Ireland.

I like a strong tasting coffee so would have to say the worst I've ever tasted would be the one that you get from the machine in the Circle K garages, it's water with a subtle hint of coffee.
circle K is poxy...add a shot or 2 of expresso,then hit the cappuccino buttonClap

Starbucks is the only place I find the coffee tastes noticeably bad. Everywhere else is at least ok but Starbucks is just awful.

Going by the comments here you would have to wonder why Starbucks are so popular and able to open up a new branch in nearly every half decent premises that becomes available in Dublin. They seem to be everywhere. 
Surely it's more than free wifi!

Why are people so gullible? 
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Shock horror posters on ybig are in no way a representative of the customer base of Starbucks.  How many women post here.  How many teenagers post here.  How many people from minority communities post here.  Not having a pop but cause a few lrish lads on ybig largely between the ages of 25 and 55 dont like starbucks I dont think its going impact their share price.   Ybig is a mono culture to a large extent.

Didn't the poster Nero from many moons ago setup a few Coffee shops around Tipp? 

Pretty much the same but I have espresso before bed deffo spend 30-40 a month with Nespresso

Must admit I'm posting this from a Starbucks right now ironically, had to get out of the house for a few hours and they have the best facilities for working (big space, lots of seperation). They do a decent Blueberry muffin.

This is the instant coffee I drink when working from home

Anybody that goes to a coffee shop to work should be in a gulag. They seem to share a huge space on the Venn diagram of ****s with Lycra fetishists.

Get free coffee in work but haven’t been in the office since March so don’t think I’ve had a coffee since then. 

Would have anything between 5-10 cups of tea a day.
