Starbucks might sell $1 cups of coffee

starbucks coffee cupLooks like super mega ultra ginormous Starbucks isn't feeling so big and powerful these days.

They are testing the sales of $1 cups of coffee that also include free refills in some stores in Seattle. Though Starbucks just recently raised coffee prices across the board, it seems that this testing is a response to stiffer competition from lower-priced coffee at fast food chains. McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, and other companies sell their coffee for just over a dollar.

That's nice of Starbucks to price-match, but even if the $1 test passes and is expanded across the entire business, I doubt I would go into Starbucks. I actually prefer McDonald's coffee.

And what is all this crap about burnt beans? do you think they have a fire in the back and they are roasting beans back there? if you dont like the coffee then get a different one..they change the flavor every week. and cry all you want about prices on here but you all still go back and get their drinks. McDonalds shouldnt even be trusted with food let alone coffee...you are basically drinking hot roach juice if you ever see the conditions they prepare in. GROSS
