    What is Starbucks thinking?!

    Just saw on Foxnews this AM.

    Starbucks to stop brewing DECAF coffee after noon!

    HUH? DOes that make any sense? Is it me or is decaf needed MOST in the afternoons?!
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Eh, weird. They'll still make it upon request, which takes about 4 mins.

    I don't drink coffee, but, the amount of people that drink De-Caf in general is certainly in the minority, maybe after studies Starbucks figured out that for strange reason, DeCaf is not ordered after a certain time :?:

    My take is if saves Starbucks some money & customers are not pissed off, go for it.....

    The news articles are misleading. When they say "brewed" they mean preparing it ahead of time. It's still available, just not sitting there getting stale until someone eventually orders it.

    Ok first off Mario....Decaf....please...Starbucks and Decaf don't mix well ;)

    NOW what's worse is that Starbucks has announced more store closings, this is a sad sad day. As long as my two favorite locations remain open I'll pull through this difficult period but I may have to join a support group to get me through.

    Tom,

    you're an addict.

    I'd done the Starbucks thing. IT got me through school. But since then, believe me, there are better. Check out Georgio's by my place, get some beans and brew your own in a french press.

    yes I know there is better, in fact in Brooklyn in Park Slope there's a Coffee shop called Gorilla Coffee...best coffee I've ever had but I can't run there at lunch nor can I press my own coffee at work so Starbucks saves the day!
