Answer 6

it's a grind

Answer 7

I've never heard of Costa.   I used to like Diedrich's, which started up about the same time as Starbuck's, but not sure if there are any still around.  JITTERS ... IT'S A GRIND are both very good.  Just about ANY other coffee store sells their triple lattes with 3 shots of espresso (duh!  It's a TRIPLE);  however, Starbuck's still only puts 2 shots in their Venti, just extra cream.  You need to pay extra for the 3rd shot!......

Answer 8

The best coffee is always a Costa coffee

Re the food, its all a muchness

Answer 9

I tried Starbucks for the first time, in the UK a month or so again and in my opinion the coffee i had would not take a lot of beating, plus it was served in a very thick, heavy mug, I can certainly say Costa coffee, was a better experience for me that Starbucks.
