How much is a Starbucks coffee in Ireland, just as a matter of interest?

Just your regular coffee, tall, grande and venti is 1.50, 1.90 and 2.30 here. They've dropped prices 40c since last year.
 
I heard it was lovely - once upon a time though.

What surprised me recently was to hear that McDonalds (maybe selected stores only?) now do really nice coffee - freshly ground, consultant barrista ostentatiously visible etc
 
Starbucks coffee is muck! Expensive dishwater

I've tried the McDonalds coffee and its actually pretty good.
 
+1 for McD coffee.
Starbucks Coffee is muck but I do like the way they have stores in book shops in many countries.
 
A Grande Americano in Starbucks is around €2.50/2.70.

I have fond memories of my first ever Starbucks coffee. An intimidating barista, similar to the Soup Nazi, prompted me to go for the simplest order, an Americano. The smell and taste of the coffee stayed with me long after I had drained the last drop.

Sad to say that no other coffee shop, including other branches of Starbucks, has ever had that same impact on me.

Tall Americano is about €2.40 which is about the same as many others (Cafe Sol, etc). Haven't gone there for a while because, as mentioned, the coffee is muck. Plus, they don't have newspapers (apart from the previous day's Metro) and I don't like drinking out of second-rate plant pots (they have the gall to sell these as souvenirs at €8 a throw).
 
€2.50 for an Americano.

A pal lives in the US, she loves the way SB look the same the world over. I find them dreary & without character.
 
I read somewhere (can't find a web reference) that they are also a favourite alibi of criminals in America because there are so many and they all look the same.

Therefore a quick "I was in a Starbucks" cannot really be disproved

Yeah bloody mafia identical clones, they're over running the country.
 
Yep Starbucks coffee tastes horrible and McDonalds coffee is consistently good!

I think when Starbuck started pushing instant coffee (called Via I think) that they lost whatever credibility they had.
 
Used to go to Starbucks over Borders in Blanch. They upped and legged it about eight months ago. I miss Borders more than the coffee shop. I think the new-found reality that has infected the Irish psyche has played havoc with the bottom line ;)
