Not at all. As far as I'm concerned, coffee's coffee. Give me Timmy's anyday over Starbucks. That and some of the drinks at Starbucks have as many calories as a BigMac.

It depends what kind of coffee you like firstly. While I find Starbuck's speciality drinks overpriced-if you would like a plain cup of coffee-that is good value for the coffee. Starbucks is smooth and mellow and I rarely get heartburn from it. This is in stark contrast to Italian styles of coffee which is a bit stronger and considered bitter if you aren't a fan of it.
Starbucks coffees are also nice because they tend to be better prepared for drinking on the go-so a lot of the cost goes into the highly developed packaging as well.
But for all coffee drinks besides the regular coffee-be aware you are paying for an image and a brand. If you value being seen drinking Starbucks as opposed to McDonalds coffee-then Starbucks is for you. However be on your guard for the next popular item around-or you could be left in the dust!

Nope, my fave drink at Starbucks, I actually know how to make at home and it taste just as good if not better. Mnay of them you can do yourself. Now at Starbucks you're just paying for the name.

I think it is. It really helps if the starbucks you go to is in a safeway because then you can get every 7th or 8th drink free, using your safeway card

No; it is just coffee! I can make it at home for a nickel and put in all the fancy stuff I want, like whole cream, splenda, cinnamon, even chocolate chips!
Plus I can stay in my jammies :)

Based upon it's incredible world-wide popularity the answer is apparently 'yes'. I personally would be content with Folgers.

No. I think their coffee tastes burnt and it upsets my stomach.
Tim Horton's is worth the cost!

Nope, find a local coffee shop that you like and get your coffee there. Chances are its much cheaper.
