  Yesterday, my colleague knew abt the free coffee thingie in *(star)$s(bucks). She was like, *$s lah, they cannot sell well, dat's why they have free coffee lar. I still prefer Coffee Bean one.
  
  I personally seldom drink coffee from those shops. "3+1 Super" good enough 4 me.
  
  My qn for u coffee masters, how to tell whether its good or bad coffee. What speciality there is comparing *$s and Coffee Bean?

  I'm a Coffee Bean supporter... find it less sweeter, that's the first thing, and that they have more variety and more promotions (every now and then, they would come out with this cool coffee combo)... and yeah... cheaper

  Coffee Bean and Starbucks or those gourmet coffee chains are for rich and young people. Also, $5+ spent so easily. waste. Western Influence.
  
  me rather take 70c Kopi.

  Wah... That's a very strong statement. For people who want to "gek say". "Gek say" for who?
  
  Anyway, I prefer Coffee Bean to Starbucks, but I do agree that it's extravagance but it's just a type of lifestyle that has evolved although just like any other, it can be unnecessary
