Starbucks Coffee 75% off retail

[Bunkhousedirect]

Hello everyone my name is Kevin Blackburn my business is called Bunkhouse Direct. We specialize in brand name coffee that is outside its best by date. Best by is not expiration and we do not sell products that don't hold a fresh taste. Right now I have Colombian and Italian roast in Starbucks VIA ready brew instant packets. I drink these personally when I don't have time to grind beans for French press. Check out my site Bunkhousedirect.com

I have no words...smh.

Interesting post. But it won't go over well by our members....

On another forum, he added " This is only going to be on sale until we have sold all of what we bought. "

LOL

 

[peterjschmidt]

At least he's not here to push 'healthy' coffee.

I have a hard time believing that anyone who manages to drink instant coffee would knowingly buy it when it's past the "best by" date.

I, too, am at a loss for words. So, without any further comment....all I can say is Welcome to the Coffee Forums.

Uhh doesn't matter as "best by" = already stale for coffee, as does "use by", if there's no "roasted on date" it's crap commercial coffee. So expiration or not, your already drinking stale coffee regardless as Charbucks retail bags are generally 4-6+ months old stale by the time they hit retail anyway. And your selling coffee that long expired since 2011 lol. Nevermind they don't know how to roast and burn everything to the point of tasting like cigs.

Right now I have Colombian and Italian roast in Starbucks VIA ready brew instant packets.

Only thing worse then Charbucks, is instant Charbucks, and even more so is bags or instant Charbucks that's years old gag :lol:

Just stick a cigar with some cigs in water and steep, you'll get the same taste.

But you see, this is aged to perfection and holds a fresh taste. Quantities are limited, SO BUY NOW!

comon...guys. you all are too harsh on Kevin. Apparently he is a business man and he is doing whatever he can do to make some sort of business. I just hope that ... i am sure that he will be also posting many other interesting and educational and insightful comments or replies in other sections of coffee forums. Right Kevin? By the way, instant coffee from Starbucks???? Seriously?!!!!!

Too harsh? Believe me, this is mild. Stick around the Coffee Forums for a while, and you'll see what I mean.

Some of us enjoy a bit good-humored teasing when the opportunity comes up. When Kevin wrote, "We specialize in brand name coffee that is outside its best by date." (especailly since it's Starbucks coffee) some of us had to jump on it.

Oh, and when people try to SPAM the forum with constant posts about their company and their coffee, we really don't like that, and the comments tend to be a bit more harsh.

Speaking of Starbucks, i really do think that they all have really bad baristas. I will tell you why. One of my partner also works for OLAM (Outspan Guatemala S.A.) he works as cupping director who says "yes" or "no" to all the green coffees going to huge companies in USA. All Starbucks and Coffee Tea Leaves green coffee coming out of Guatemala must get his Nose & Mouth approval before it gets loaded into container. Last time, when we did cupping together (honestly speaking, I know "zero" compare to him and he is the "god" in Guatemala coffee industry), he showed me the starbucks coffee and told me that they are all pretty good coffees with high standards (from 75 to 80 points more or less). Knowing that fact, and knowing how bad their coffees are specially in this country (believe it or not, Starbucks coffee are way way way better in overseas than USA. By the way, there is a McDonalds in Antigua, Guatemala. In McDonalds, there is McCafe that sells all sort of coffee like starbucks. Antigua McCafe is as good or even better than any great specialty coffee shop in Los Angeles. NO STARBUCKS IN ANTIGUA THOUGH...), i truly believe that people who work in Starbucks does not know anything about coffee. For shits and giggles, I have been asking starbucks baristas where they had learned the skills. all 100% told me that they learned it on the job, used to be cashier, used to be stock boy, used to work at Stater Brothers.. (just two month ago !!!!) WoW. No wonder. Come to think of it, maybe I should post this in the forums. it could be an interesting subject. what do you think?

 

[topher]

Well...that's not really fair to say. We all started some where. I learned to be a barista on the job...as I did roasting. I know a few baristas that work or have worked for Starbucks. Almost all of them learned elsewhere. They went to starbucks for the benefits. So I wouldn't say that all of them are bad...that would be a sight to see..seeing how many employees they have!
