Haha $18B those morons don‘t know you can get a coffee for $2.50

Inflation :(

They think they can make it the next Starbucks. They don't realize people go there because it's not Starbucks. 💸

What are some good alternatives?

Linux
-
open source coffee is the best coffee

Classic lemmy response

2026, year of the Linux... desktop coffeemaker.

I've never bought better coffee than an independent local café that roasts their own beans on-site. Not the most convenient, but well worth it in my opinion.
I'd rather my money go to a small independent business anyway.
-
That's true, I definitely gravitate towards this option. I'm kind of in-between coffee shops at the moment.

That used to be the case. But now those coffee shops are just chasing trends. So they will make me an expensive pour-over but it will be watery and weak. I guess because many will add cream or sweetener to it anyway? 10 entirely separate single-origins and blends, but not a single dark roast. And they'll sneer at me for asking if they have beans that are bolder and recommend their single medium-light option.
That's been my experience at many chain and independent coffee roasters. So now I make coffee almost exclusively at home. There's nothing wrong with preferring light roasts, but there is with letting the snobs limit your choices. And if you tried the amazing coffee I brew you'd agree that there is not just 1 way to enjoy coffee! Thank you for coming to my TEDx rant...

Roast your own! There’s the startup cost of a roaster (there are some pretty impressive machines available now at around $500 USD) and from there you’ll be spending 1/2 to 1/4 for beans. It pays for itself quickly for any serious coffee drinker and you get a new fun hobby out of it!

Ecopods, that's nice to see. I've tried camerons before, they have lots of different flavors.
-
-
I’d tell but then it’d make it harder for me to get my beans.
-

How can a chain of coffee stores be worth 18bn? Like do they really even have that much revenue
-
It’s the most blood from a stone a private equity firm can squeegee out of it before breaking it up and selling it for parts
-
It's a bit more than just a chain of coffee stores. That title is completely idiotic.
-
The article title or me calling them a chain of coffee stores? What else do they do besides the coffee stores?

Oh for Peets sake!

Nothing of value was gained nor lost. They all suck.

Peet's is about to lose its quality completely. That sucks.
Peet's hasn't been good for quite a while.
But it's better than it's about to become.
Peet’s is still better than Green Mountain … until now being bought by Green Mountain
Peets becoming Keurig doesn't have a great cachet to it does it?
JDE Peets has a lot of brands that I didn't know were owned by the same company: https://www.jdepeets.com/brands/
Shit, time to stop drinking Stumptown.
Not that I do regularly.
