Boyoboy, have you got that right!
I think Starbucks coffee is nasty in the extreme, and as a matter of fact feel the same way about all espresso served on practically every corner down here.
Of course, my "house brew" here is made in a good ol' percolator, so you can see what a connoisseur I am...but I can guarantee a caffeine jolt that'll knock you off your feet!

Now that I'm retired, just thinking about paying the price for a Starbucks latte gives me the jitters.
I had a Tim Horton's coffee once.
And, in Canada, the alcohol content is on the label ( mostly 5% ).

Of the COFFEE?
Doesn't that cancel out the effect of the caffeine?

You're right. I'm looking at my Starbucks right now and not an alcohol content label anywhere LOL! Some things are definitely better in the great white north!

Hi: Glenn Baglo... We enjoy Tim Hortons, specially "Roll up the rim", in our trailer. We just can't use the drive thru!!!
Tim's biggest money makers are their bagels. Next is their coffee. I've been told, under a dime a cup, including the paper cup and a plastic lid that never stays open...for me!!! I take mine bla**...oops that's natural... but they always ask me what I want in it? Duh? My response is now "Kahlua". Oh sir,"We don't have any of that"...well then "Don't put anything in it"!!!

Yup.
Why is it that Tim thinks you're incapable of adding cream and sugar ( as desired )?? And that's not just the drive-through.
To poke another fast-food outlet, my favorite quote from The Simpsons' "I'm so hungry I could eat at Arbys".

I like to go into Tim's around Thanksgivings and order a medium gobble, gobble. I'm amazed that there's usually just a pause and then they get me my coffee.
