I don't know what a frappuccino is, but I will admit to really liking Starbuck's Sumatra quite a bit ... even if it is overroasted :)
That said, I usually will pick Dunkin Donuts or McDonalds if I want coffee out ...

At home I usually stick with World Market Sumatra ... When prepared in a french press it is so addictive and delicious that any day without it is a day spent craving the delicious aroma and flavor of french press coffee ....

It actually makes me eager to try to get to sleep at a reasonable hour so I can wake up a bit early to make french press coffee... it's that freikin good.

In the u.s., all fast food places give refills on soft drinks - not sure about coffee. Most restaurants give free coffee refills.

ALL? Incorrect.
Ok, which fast food places don't give refills on soft drinks?

Better question is which ones DO give you free refills?

A lot of fast food places in dense urban areas charge for refills. Prevents bums from just getting endless refills

I've never been denied a refill. If I eat in, I always get one to go. If there is not self-service, I simply ask at the counter - never been a problem.

Not sure how the refill policy works but I must have read from somewhere that you get a free refill (cold or hot) if the purchase is made on starbucks card. That's exactly what I did, but no, the lady said only ice coffee or tea gets free refill...not frappuccino. Hmmm, so I just spent $4 on one 16oz drink, instead of two.

Condemn me, ATOT.

Amazing thread.
