That's their standard Pikes Place blend, or whatever the 'normal' blend is they have at all the places. And it is terrible coffee. They usually have others on tap that are better.
I rarely go there unless traveling (airports, etc). I can get WAY better coffee beans at my local roaster, and burr-grind them each morning at home for a far better cup of coffee. The thermal carafe is a must, too, because those burners and pyrex glass ones scald the coffee within 20-30 minutes and it tastes like crap.
?
Are their people running for office that are complaining about Starbucks cups?
Most of your candidates play the they are stealing christmas from us victim card at some point.
I'm just curious if they put a Redskin on the cup how you libs would feel? I personally could give a crap but don't go and say it's ok because it's offensive to Native Americans. Christians have been persecuted since the beginning of time. If it's offensive to some of them you should be on board with it.

Yes, Christians have always been such a poor persecuted minority in the United States
Beginning of time? I thought it had only been for the last 2015 years.
Donald Trump has waded into yet another controversial, emotionally charged issue: Starbucks cups.
This year the coffee giant opted for a simple cup in which to serve coffee, tea and flavored beverages in November and December. Gone are the snowflakes, fir trees, ornaments, sledders, snowmen and stars. This year the cups are just red — which some Christians allege is the secular company wringing the last bitty remains of Christmas out of the most wonderful time of year.
Trump, who hosts a Starbucks coffee shop in his iconic Trump Tower in Manhattan, brought up the controversy amid a rant about jobs being shipped overseas, hurting college students who are searching for work to pay off their crushing loan debt.
"Did you read about Starbucks?" Trump asked a crowd of about 10,200 during a rally at a convention center on Monday evening. "No more 'Merry Christmas' at Starbucks. No more."
The crowd booed loudly.
"Maybe we should boycott Starbucks," Trump said, having reminded the crowd that the company is his tenant. "I don't know. Seriously. I don't care. By the way: That's the end of that lease. But who cares? Who cares? Who cares?!"
Trump then hit the crowd with this promise: "If I become president, we're all going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' again. That I can tell you. That I can tell you! Unbelievable."

My personal war on Christmas, beginning at a tailgate this weekend:
You know, one time I try to defend conservatives, and then this happens.
There's an old fart that frequents the one my daughter works at. He can't drive legally anymore but when he evades his captors he drives over there and sits for hours with his coffee drink. Reads the paper, snoozes, drools. When his family catches on they call the cops and the cops come to Starbucks and drive him home. I think the Christ Child would approve.
Yeah well, Christians did a fair amount of persecuting in their own right. Still doing it.
Starbucks is high quality coffee, and no more expensive than your local coffee house. Assuming you're getting drip coffee.
That being said, I don't get Starbucks around Seattle since there are so many other, better options available to me. But when I'm traveling, I have no qualms about stepping into a Starbucks.
Yeah and a week from now The Donald will loudly exclaim, "I never said that!" and his minions will eat it up and swear, "Yes! He never said that!" Republicans are such morons.
Hey! We old farts need entertainment too! I might be a little disgusting to look at but I don't really do any harm.
