I like Starbucks at Myrtle Beach and it seems to be very fresh and that is probably because they have such a huge turn out of customers, that they use more than usual, and replenish their stock.
Now here in our town, I hate the Starbucks.........YUCK
I do however like Dunkin Donuts coffee here much better than Starbucks here.
I also LOVE my Keurig.
Don't know where to find extremely fresh coffee beans or even tried fresh coffee beans before, so I guess I am just used to over roasted or stale beans. LOL
Now, maybe these youngin's (@ the hot spot) put something in their coffee to make it "special", that all the men love their coffee! LOL
