Here's Phil, the Krispy Kreme man with the Krispy Kreme hat!
Phil Again, serving coffee!!! And so we tried three different coffees. The first, Blue, was thick and tastes burnt, like charcoal. The second, Red, was mild, and a little sour. The third, Silver, was just foul. Don't know how to descibe it. Of course, in between the three different taste tests, we had Krispy Kreme donuts in between to sweeten and clean our palates! Decided that Red was the best, cuz frankly, it was the least disgusting of the lot. FYI, the coffee was served long black, hence no sugar, or milk. Guess I am not one for just black coffees. My coffees have to have sugar (preferable demarara) or sweetener at least! Anyway, I voted for Red. 2 other people agreed with me, 3 thought Silver was the best, and 5 thought Blue was the best. And of this, 3 thought Red was Starbucks, 4 thought Silver was Starbucks, and the last 4 thought Blue was Starbucks.
The Result? Blue is Starbucks. Red is Sorrento's (the School of Management's coffee bar). Silver is the thing you get from the vending machine in the common room.
Conclusion? Starbucks coffee tastes burnt! And it's good knowing that good coffee, as good as Starbucks, are available right on campus!!
P/S: The aftertaste of burnt black coffee, with no sugar, and no milk is disgusting. And I am now high on sugar from the dount, and caffeine, from the taste test, and the instant coffee I had in the morning! Stomach feels funny too. I *knew* I shouldn't have volunteered.
