With Starbucks being closed for 3 1/2 hours today and Dunkin Doughnuts offering $.99 coffee how many customers is Starbucks business are they going to lose for good? If everyone tries Dunkin Doughnuts coffee today and even if only a few people think it is good Starbucks could lose a LOT of customers.

They already are loosing customers, that’s why their closing their shops when it isn’t their peak hours. They, along with the whole american economy is suffering.

However I could really care less about them, I make my own coffee.

I’ve been working at Starbucks in my hometown now for almost 8 months but I’m going away to school in August. There is a starbucks about 6-10 minutes away from the university that I would love to transfer to.

Are there any special regulations about transferring, such as age and how long you’ve been working there? I’ll have been working there over a year when I want to transfer.

I don’t believe there are any regulations. When I worked for them I transferred with no problem. You just need to find a store that has an opening in the area your looking for.

I have all the ingredients, Starbucks coffee, starbucks classic syrup, and half n half. But when I make one, it just don’t taste the same. I’m not sure if I’m brewing the coffee wrong or what. If any one works at starbucks please, please let me know exactly how to do it. I know it can’t be too difficult or complicated, it’s just iced coffee, but the starbucks iced coffee is sooo good! But expensive! Lol thanks in advance for any input on this

It’s all in the type of coffee you have. Starbucks iced coffee is a blend called Terraza and it isn’t sold in stores (or anywhere that I know of). The closest thing to it is the Gazebo blend, which is only available during summer months. Some stores may have already run out of their supply by now.

To start off, the coffee is brewed double strength and then ‘doubled’ by adding ice. (one batch makes a total of 4 liters, 2 liters of coffee and ice added [thus, melted] to make 4 liters)

A grande iced coffee with milk contains four pumps (1 oz)classic syrup, coffee to the first green line, milk (or 1/2 n 1/2) to the second line, and then filled to the top with ice.

The biggest issue for you will be finding a roast of coffee that you like. Try to stay away from coffees described as ‘earthy’ or ’spicy’ and go towards ‘bright’ or ‘citrus’ notes.

I’m sure this might sound a bit confusing, but the coffee world has a lot more to it than most people think
