Yeah, I know. I'm not a "coffee snob" but that is mainly because I can't afford to be! I've definitely had coffee I liked better than Walmart's generic, but at the moment that is what I can afford.

At the same time, I've stedfastly resisted even TRYING Starbucks - because I've been told that it's so good it will spoil one for any other coffee! So if they're right, I'd be ruined... and if they're wrong, I'd be disappointed LOL

Hi DecafMom. I applaud your honesty and you know at the end of the day we drink what we can manage to drink. I am sure our taste buds adjust a little anyhow. I once had to drink a fair amount of coffee with chicory and got used to it. I do like Starbucks but I wouldn't say it is the best in the world. Why not start a penny jar and save up to buy yourself a secret stash of something special?

Hi, girls! I never considered Starbucks makes good coffee. They simply sell under their trademark everything what anyone else sells. They may be roasting their own type of coffee but their business is mass-oriented, so the quantity is what they consider at first, not the quality...

Well, I guess you should give it a try and then decide for yourself whether it is worth spending money on it. Otherwise, you'll torture yourself with thoughts about not drinking it

Hi DecafMom,

Starbucks is not the best of the best. They do offer good coffee, but it doesn't mean everyone will become a fan after trying first cup. But I wish you to come to that point in your life soon where you can afford any coffee you want

Well, I think (at least now I'm thinking) that even if I have enough money to buy expensive coffees, I would still buy some cheap coffee which I considered tasty before.

We like the Walmart coffee too. It is my husband favorite besides Community Coffee. I have adjusted to different kinds because I was raised on Maxwell House. I actually do like Great Value and my husband likes more of the New Orleans flavors.

I've bought Walmart's Great Value brand coffee before. It's not bad. As a matter of fact, I think it's quite tasty. Put a couple spoonfuls of sugar and some milk or half-and-half in it, and it's good.

Never heard of Walmart's Great Value? Is it really tasty? What it is like?

I personally love Starbucks Coffee. While I know it's not the best and is mass-produced, they kick-started the coffee-lover in me with their Frappuccinos. I tried the Pumpkin Spice one and I never looked back.

I also have always drank Maxwell house and Walmart's great value is pretty similar. I do not however, like Starbucks at all. If I go out for coffee I like to go to Tim Horton's.

It is better not to drink anything than cheap or bad coffee.
