I hate Starbucks coffee. Granted, millions upon millions of people clearly enjoy their coffee, I just don't get it. The just straight up Starbucks coffee tastes horrible to me. Burnt and bitter. Strong coffee can be smooth, but not from Starbucks. The reason for the burnt and bitter taste is because Starbucks roasts their beans at extra high heat to get the job done as fast as possible. I can't blame them since there are so many stores to stock.
From m drive home in my new-to-me 968 a few years back:

If you have turrets then it's PC for us to smile and you act like you're one of us. Just like if your 996 has gills, it's PC for us to smile and act like you're one of us. :P
I don't get the whole Starbucks thing either. Pretty sure it's just a status symbol since the coffee is no good, unless you get a frostymochafrappelatte thing that's more whole milk and whipped cream than coffee. If it helps someone feel better about themselves to drink a six-dollar cup of ****ty coffee, then good for them.
Actually I don't get the whole coffee thing period!
Never have consumed an entire cup in my life. And whenever I see Starbucks all crowded with people feigning for a cup of coffee I figure it must be like a milder version of meth or something!
I stick with milk or smoothies for my morning drink.
If Starbucks presents a good opportunity to take the Porsche out on a nice morning, then count me in. I'll be ordering an iced tea.
I recently bought a Nespresso machine for my home to give me my caffeine fix. It makes an espresso that's far better than anything I've ever had at Starbucks.
Anyone who spells it "expresso" does not drink espresso, in the same way that it's safe to assume that people who spell Boxster as "boxter" probably do not have a Boxster in the garage.
I admit that I spent a solid 15 seconds staring at this sentence. If you have turrets? WTF? Are you suggesting that someone has a dome-mounted M2 on their 996? It wasn't until I ran it through the "expresso" filter that I realized this was supposed to mean "Tourette."
It's the little touches that make the fail in this thread more flavorful.
John Ireland has Tourette syndrome, but it's only triggered when people give him a lot of crap about his wide-body 996.
Holy crap, is THAT the white stuff they foam up and pour over the fancy coffee drinks? I had my suspicions, but nobody had ever confirmed it before.
I reckon this also explains how they get the salt in a "salted caramel macchiato."
You starbucks people are...odd.
Dammit!
As for Starbucks, absolutely love it. A quad espresso with a bit of half and half will definitely get the blood flowing. I don't think it's a status symbol anymore since it's become very commercialized. But it still has some of the best espresso for my taste buds.
Yeah, also took me a bit to figure out that "turrets" was "Tourette's."
On the rare occasion when I go to Starbucks (i.e. if it's the only coffee place around), I refuse to be coerced to speak their phony Italian, so I always order a "medium" coffee. Invariably, the person behind the counter becomes incredibly confused and flustered by this.
Coincidentally, or ironically, I was in Long Beach a few days ago and toured the Iowa. It has huge tourettes.

As a transplanted east coaster, it only took me a couple of days to realize why Starbucks started here in Seattle. The gray, dreary, rainy days. One needs a respite from that.
I've noticed that many stores have folks working away on their laptops (Wi-Fi is free there). Folks sit down and spend hours hanging out.
What really makes me laugh is any busy street corner in Manhattan - you'll find a Starbucks on both sides of the street. (God forbid you should have to cross the street to get to your Sbucks).
And people line up in these stores every morning on their way to work. From here on I agree with most of the others. WTF would you willingly spend $5 or $6 for a coffee when any 7/11 sells you one for under a buck. But then you wouldn't have that "Sbucks" logo on your cup as you saunter into your office.
I actually think this is simply another "lifestyle" choice. Same exactly as driving any Porsche, BMW, Mercedes etc. You have to look "good" or perhaps your neighbors will think you aren't "making it".
There is no secret to Starbucks' success. They get you more caffeine/ml than the competitors. It's nothing more than a small time speed addiction. Complete with withdrawals if you try to quit.
And somebody needs to was those guns out with soap!
That would be awesome and would probably make my daily commute much more enjoyable
It's the easiest way to identify the believers opposed to the ones that just wanted a job.
I had one get nasty with me because I wouldn't use their term for large. Another time another customer jumped to the clerk's defense and tried to admonish me for not ordering things correctly. People are fvcking retarded sometimes...
Hmm. Our DeLonghi is getting more buggier by the day. With Nespresso are you stuck with using their pods, capsules, whatever they call them. Or, can you doctor up your own blend?
T
^^^ Yep, that confirms it, the white Prius.
Well, at least you can sip a mocha latte frappe crappe whilst chiming in at PriusChat with such exciting topics as these:
And debate the merits of not using the AC, even though you are in the desert:
What a ****ing dumbass! Really bro! Why in the **** would a post my 966 on the water cooled section if I didn't have one? Yea, I drink coffee and yes I buy it at Starbucks *******! Just by your childish *** reply in the first place makes you come off like jackass fool! So, **** you dick!!! And to answer you question, it's the Guards Red 996 in the picture ********!!
I thought this was just a dumbass thread, but now it's getting interesting!
Bad coffee. Post whoring. Homophobic slurs. Missed sarcasm. Cool battleships. Boobies. Medical diagnoses.
If we can somehow blame this on Martin so he'll start another pissing match with Jake, this thread would have it all!
Well jumpin' jimminy! Why didn't ya say so in the first place bro! Are you aware that there is a special Guard's Red Forum? Lemme get ya KC's number and he will sign you up, I have it here somewhere.
Awww, forget it, looks like that tornado got him earlier today. Ah well, one less member of the Guard's Red Forum.
^ And Slakker should know. He got stung early on. OP, stick around - consider it a little new guy hazing. It's just an Internet forum, meant to be fun. Don't take it too seriously.
Naw man, didn't know that, thanks for the heads up! Were you aware that there's a forum for F'in posers like yourself! I'll sit back in my chair at Starbucks enjoying the scene while you clock into your measly job that you call a career *******! Have a great day BTW!!
I used to play a ton of online poker and the ultimate chat screen loser move was a challenge to play heads up for bankrolls.
The careful reader may or may not find a parallel here.
My machine is a DeLonghi machine that takes Nespresso capsules. Nespresso capsules and machines can be found in original or their new line, Vertuo. The original capsules produce espresso under pressure, for a more traditional product. That's what I've got. The Vertuo capsules are more like a Keurig product, using a centerfuge process. They are better for a slightly more traditional American coffee.
The original capsules are sealed, so you can't mix your own. The do offer quite a few blends.

I agree. I do like their sugary 1M calorie coffee drinks though but basically because they taste like crappy candy bars. Candy is good.
Love that 968! Great pics.
You and this guy...

Big question is...are you a pirate, too?
Let me ax you a question. Do you want expresso witchod'zurt?
Yes, things are getting good.
FWIW, I drive a Prius with a 996 body shell and a bird of prey perched on top...because that's the way I roll.
-Eric
You caught me off guard with that and elicited a good laugh. Thanks
If we can't laugh at what life does to us we are taking it way too seriously.
And well, just cause
Lynyrd Skynyrd-Free bird - YouTube
Actually, I do. Quick question for you, why express, "THAT color"? I just said Guards Red only because of the blind ******* stating his smart *** reply about the Prius and Cab.
No, I wasn't aware of that. Link please?
Well, I gotta go punch into the Keurig to make a Sumatran Reserve Extra Bold coffee. Then I'll probably check out the newspaper, play my waiting turns on on-line scrabble, and if I feel like it, sample the goods at a bar or two so that I can pay for it all.
Nah, maybe I will just snooze in today.
Thanks for the warm wishes, I do plan to have a great day!
Well, everyone knows that guys that drive Guards Red Porsches and drink designer coffee are just poseurs who are making up for their insecurities and/or certain physical shortcomings. Especially when they attempt to belittle posters on an anonymous forum by implying they have better jobs and presumably have more money than the other members, which of course means they don't, or they wouldn't even bring it up.
Does that answer your question?
Great thread! Cars and coffee have always gone together. Throw in some needling, some raging, memes, ***** and battleships and you've got the quintessential 996 forum thread. Happy Friday!
It sure did brother, thanks. Also, thank you for confirming that there's another jerk on this page that has nothing else better to do but slam on a simple posting about taking a picture of your Porsche at your local Starbucks. Let me go out on a limb here and guess that you fall under the category of shortcoming yourself? I personally don't have any insecurities or presumably assume that I make to much money. Dude, I drive a freakin 99 - 996, lol. That alone should answer any questions you might have about me!! Tell me more about yourself?
It's OK Dennis, it's 12:30 here so you are good to go!
Hard alcohol may just be required to continue reading the trials and tribulations of a brick wall...
And this is your reply? Wow, lol! You my friend are indeed the winner of this fight, gees! And you're the one telling me that I have insecurities? Hahaha! You just put yourself on blast buddy! What a dumbass! I'll drop the mic now!!!
First, dude are you serious?
This is an all-guy ball busting forum, and you clearly don't understand that and can't take the jokes here. Outside of technical threads, no one will be following your "thread rules" and guidelines. If you don't like your ***** being busted in all sorts of tasteless manner, don't post non-technical threads or have thicker skin man.
I had to look it up on Urban Dictionary:
"put on blast"
to be called out for something; to have some information about you put out in the open in an embarrassing manner.
Classic. This thread went awry quickly. You wacky 996 scamps. BTW, Dennis C thanks for the info on Nespresso. Which DeLonghi model do you have?
Does the above apply to all Guards Red Porsches, or just red 996s?!? I ask because I drive a GR 997 and love designer coffee, well actually designer espresso. So, I think I am dangerously close to being a poseur with certain physical shortcomings. Oh well, admitting the problem is the first step to getting help.
Gotta roll, there's a gent on the 997 forum who is worried that GR is "too much". Must warn him. Play nice kids...T
And the forum police shows up. Dude, I have thick-skin, hahaha. As for tasteless, I believe everyone said Starbucks coffee is bitter besides a few, lol...
Holy crap batman, he drives a 1999 Porsche 996. Oh my god!!!
We should all be so lucky to have such a fine example.
I wish I had a 99 996. I guess I will just have to be happy with my lowly 04 Targa and 04 986 S
Didn't slam on you for posting a picture of your alleged Porsche in front of a Starbucks. I slammed on you because you are being a douchenozzle.
No worries...I would never assume you that you "make to (sic) much money". You are the one brought up another poster's income.
I have absolutely no questions about you. In fact...never did.
Why, exactly, do you want to no more about me. I actually find that extremely sketchy.
And for all the Guards Red owner's out there, my first Porsche was a gorgeous 2003 GR 996. Says so right down there in my signature. I was just messing with you guys. Except the OP...
Sweet! Thank you for being the new ******* of the page! My statement was simply saying that I'm no better than anyone else in the forum because I have the ugly stepchild of the 911's but thank you for nicely expressing that you apparently are more of a doucebag than I am. Have a nice weekend..
Pretty sure you are the only one here that doesn't agree that you are acting like a giant asshat. And you know, majority rules after all...
I gotta ask, are you legally deaf? I don't know how else to explain you missing the constant whooshing over your head
Case in point:
HEY DUMBASS, ALL THE POSTS OTHER THAN YOUR'S HAVE BEEN SARCASM.
Just step away from the keyboard. Or don't. Either way I'm going to go get a pint and hopefully this thread will be funny again.
So, I'm taken no one would like to take a picture of their car's at your local Starbucks? Lol... Thanks to all for having a sense of humor. Have a nice holiday weekend..
You just don't recognize it in it's un-guards red paint scheme KC
Just pour a nice iced Starbucks with a big slug of bourbon and everything will look fine again
I found video of First 996 having his Sbux latte while discussing 996 forum members, and unfairness of life faced by owners of the GR 99 coupes.
Life is so unfair because girls dont want me - YouTube
I went throug all 9 pages of this thread and the word IMS, wasn't involved, what's wrong with you guys?
The word coffee was everywhere but no one said, when the IMS fail, it sounds like grinding coffee.
I have some Porsche and coffee pictures is not starbucks but I hope the OP won't get offended.
I'm all for giving this guy the grief he's earned, but comparing him to a whiny piece of **** that felt driving around and shooting people was a good idea is over the line in my opinion.
Also giving that piece of **** legitimacy by watching and linking to his videos is not cool either. Glad he is gone from the earth (though some drawn out and painful suffering would have been nice), now we need to forget his existence entirely.
I find it ironically coincidental that I drink cheap Maxwell house coffee and drive a Porsche that does not have an adequate cup holder. What a paradox!
Since you seem fond of the mic drop, I put together a little something for your next Starbucks poetry slam. You're welcome.
Hurt...
Butthurt, hurting like a

Heh. Very nice.
That's the psycho that shot up UCSB, right? Watching that video after-the-fact is eerie - what a whack-job. A legend in his own mind...
Forgetting s**t like that is a mistake - hopefully, some lessons will be learned about the various police contacts with that POS and other opportunities there were to recognize that he was a psychopath on the verge of a homicidal rampage and act on that information rather than just accepting that he's one of today's "special snowflakes" that just need to be supported and encouraged. This guy was a misogynist egomaniac; the reason he couldn't get laid is, I suspect, that the stink of his crazy was offputting.
When animal control finds a rabid dog, they put him down, chop off its head, and send it in for testing. I think that protocol might be appropriate for other authorities as well.
In Rodger's self-proclaimed ideal world, he imagined that he would "quarantine all [women] in concentration camps. At these camps, the vast majority of the female population will be deliberately starved to death. That would be an efficient and fitting way to kill them all off... I would have an enormous tower built just for myself... and gleefully watch them all die."
This is not the kind of stuff you sweep under the rug and forget about. The parents who bankrolled this psycho and turned him loose in a college town - in spite of being aware that he was refusing medication for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder - are unforgivably responsible. This is the kind of person you commit to an asylum, not a kid you rent an apartment for, buy a BMW for, and send on his merry way.
I agree that there are aspects that need to be remembered and learned from, but I think we can do that with out attaching his (or others like him) name and picture/video to it except under very specific circumstances (e.g. research and training for identifying and dealing with such cases).
I'll drop my ranting now though as we are getting to RLOTPC material and I don't think anyone here wants to see this lovely thread about coffee moved over there
Soooooooo how 'bout some boobies? Like barista boobies covered in half n half serving a mocha chocka latte! Gawd I just can't get into the work thing today.
Jeff, I'm just whooped! Carb Day last Friday, the 500 on Sunday with company in between. The race was great and the crowds were huge! It's official I can no longer party like a rockstar.
LMAO winner winner chicken dinner!
And, yeah, if I didn't laugh at myself I'd cry...a lot...like a little girl; and when I say girl I'm not talking about the little girls that seems to confuse Slakker.
-Eric
P.S. Yes, I know I'm behind.
