I quit drinking coffee a few years back.
When I did drink coffee, Seattles Best Cofee was the best.
I hated Starbucks over roasted and over hyped BS.

Didn't know that SBC is a subsidiary of Starbucks.  Was it always that way?  When I lived in Seattle, I actually didn't drink coffee much, but people had their favorites.  Sort of almost like Ford vs Chevy.   ;D 

Funny that in the PI, there are often Starbucks and SBC right across from each other. 

Starbucks is huge.  Amazing where they are now from back when they started in Seattle back in the day.  I've worked on their headquarters and a bunch of their offices.

Starbucks to buy Seattle's Best Coffee
April 2003:

Quote
Starbucks Corp. will acquire hometown rival Seattle Coffee Co. from its parent company in a $72 million cash-for-stock transaction,
the companies said today.

The acquisition, expected to close within 90 days, includes Seattle Coffee's subsidiaries -- Seattle's Best Coffee with 129 North American
stores and Torrefazione Italia, with 21 stores.

Starbucks has not said whether it plans to close any stores and declined to disclose future plans.

That was about a year before I moved back to HI. 

Seattle is (or was) such a crazy coffee town.  I swear there were coffee shops on every corner in downtown.  Many times even multiple on the same block.  Starbucks, SBC, Tully's, etc.

+1 for hating starbucks, but I wish I could buy a tsarbucks logo t shirt. I had hoped that the keurig would make them obsolete.
