    Default Grass roots push

    We all drink coffee, or most at least.

    Well in my area we have Starburnt. Its really not that bad once you add cream and sugar (although I usually take mine black).

    Anyway. I would like to see a push on there message board for 50 cent refills in any Starburnt mug or Traveler. It keeps those blasted cups off your desk and out of the landfill. I would also like to see a free coffee when you purchase a mug or traveler or at least a coupon for a free one on your next visit.

    What say you.

    I would be with you if we had such places here in rural Southeast Ohio. Best we can hope for is a cup of muddy water from the local filling station. They will fill your thermos for $1.00.

    And your Thermos is 32 or 64 oz. My point exactly.

    Mine is a lousy 8 and they charge full price for the first fill up then fifty cents there after.

    LOL! From your title singlewedge I thought this was some sort of "health related colon cleanser or something."

    Seriously, go and get yourself an espresso machine. $50 - $100 dollars will land you a great cup of coffee every time at a fraction of Star***** (cuz mine nick names worse). You guys are sending 5 bucks a day on something that is no better than what you could get out of one of those gourmet coffee vending machines for half the price, not to mention you're blowing a ton of dough. An espresso machine will allow you a far better brew, let you pick the beans for superior quality, and you can do doubles or tripples just like you want.

    Down with Star*****!

    The two best coffee purchases for me were the french press and a low end KitchenAid A9 burr grinder. If you just want a good cup of plain ole coffee this makes a cup that is tough to top even with the big name corner coffee house. When I save a little more mad money though I will have a middle of the road prosumer espresso machine and a good Mazzer or Macap grinder. Then I too can have good espressos and Café Américanos untill then I will stick to the press pot and store bought beans. I just cant drop 2 to 3 grand of my coffee habit at this time.
