Anyone know how to buy Starbucks in bulk?

[Bens4vcobra]

I go through alot of coffee. I love it. I can't live without it. Coinsidently, I like the stuff that tastes good. Yes, I am a coffee snob. Problem is, I am always having to buy it mainly because they don't sell the good stuff in giant cans. So does anyone know if a way exists to buy Starbucks in bulk? By the case? I've tried ebay, not much help.

Hook up with someone who works there. I had a friend that worked there who got a pound of coffee free each week. Starbucks has a program for businesses: http://www.starbucks.com/business/ocslist.asp. No prices listed, but it seems like the quantities are a bit bigger.

We buy Starbucks by the pound at the local grocery store all the time? You want to buy more than a pound at a time I'm assuming? Why not just buy 5 one pound bags. :shrug:

U.M.

Well I guess I was trying to see if there was a way to buy it by the case so I didn't have to clean the grocer out and maybe save a little dough.

Costco saves you a bit.

Don't think I have one in this area. In fact, I don't think i've ever seen one.

If you're looking for Starbucks in bulk, you can probably go shovel dirt from your backyard into a big can.:shrug: (sorry - also a coffee snob).

Anyway, maybe check with them and see if you can order cases at a time, or if an online store offers discounts. Also, businesses get good sized bags from somewhere.

As already noted, you can buy a 5lb bag of Starbucks dark roast at Costco. I used to buy that, but now I buy the 5lb bag of Jamaican Blue Mountain dark roast, it has a better flavor in the French Press.

Come on GUY, you forgot that typing on SVTP all day and avoiding exercise can only be good for you.

I think there are many taste tests that corroborates this. I actually think McDonald's Premium Roast tastes better than Starbucks.

I used to buy Starbucks Iced Coffee and now I buy McD's premium iced coffee. It is very good.

I gather you're talking about bottles of the stuff. BJ's sells it.

Me too. Burger King has a BK Mocha Joe that's okay, but I find it a it too sweet.

 

[Bens4vcobra]

I've tried the BK coffee. It ain't no Starbucks. I've had hotel coffee that tastes better
