Before I joined the vast network of Sbux partners, I used to be strictly a French Roast drinker besides getting espresso drinks in store. Now that I get my mark out each week, I've been trying some different beans, and this week's pick was Guatemala Antigua. I was surprised at how much I liked it. What do you guys pick out each week?
What do you get for mark outs?

I rotate between getting beans one week and chai concentrate the next. My favorite coffees lately have been Guatemala and the Yukon Blend. French Roast? Yuck! haha :)

Verona and Breakfast Blend are my faves. I never get any blonde roast, decaf anything, French, or Italian.

WE CAN MARK OUT THE CHAI CONCENTRATE?!?! or are you guys referring to the tea bags and im just being a noob....
Posted 9 months ago # -
10splendas, yes! the retail chai, not the one we actually use. i think the only difference is it's less strong than the chai you use in store, which only bothers me because i can get through a thing of it in a few days. love me some chai .

I usually just pick out a random pound of dark roast for my parents.

I tend to hit up the GA myself, either GA or Verona. Occassionally I'll get squirrely and pick up some House or Breakfast, but otherwise eh.

I personally like Pike, Sumatra (I don't necessarily like the bold), or Indivisible. I think that's the best one ^_^

Anything I can possibly get...I make a great fire out of them since their products are really good for starting fire especially during camping...
On serious side, I don't have any preference!

@smallsizeb: you're thinking of the wrong chai box. This is what is available for markout: http://www.starbucksstore.com/tazo-chai-tea-latte-concentrate/011017406,default,pd.html

Breakfast blend, organic Yukon, Komodo dragon blend, Sumatra.

Kenya, Verona or Espresso when I get coffee, though lately whenever they are available I get the Refreshers via - that lime one is pretty durn good.

I've never had a sip off any of the coffee I mark out. So yea, pretty much anything. I guess I'm not the biggest fan of "getting paid in beans" ahah

yeah, dont get to excited about the chai, I finally saw it at a starbucks and got it as my markout, it says to mix it 1:1 with hot or cold milk. Its like reallyyyy not strong at all, it doesnt' have that same taste. i was very disappointed. 3 regions is my shitt though.

Looks like we're really getting paid beans here in Starbucks. lel

I always stock up on promo coffee until it's gone. We just got the 2012 Anniversary in, so that's what I'll be getting the next couple of months. Other than that either Kenya or Via Colombia for me or Decaf something for the parents

Rotate between getting some form of dark roast for me (Komodo, Gold Coast or Italian) and getting 'gifty' type things (VIA, teas etc.) cause I'm cheap.

I get whatever will sell the highest on Ebay when I leave this god forsaken place....

Calm Tea.

Never knew the Chai concentrate was available for mark out ... As far as coffee goes, Casi Cielo or bust, so I usually pick up tea for myself. I've been on this Orange Blossom kick and it beats going in on my days off to buy a cup from my stingy-azz coworkers.
If it's not strong enough on a one to one, then what if you just added more chai...? Never actually tried the retail one so I dunno if that would be disgusting or not.

A shift at my store said its the same as the bar chai, just less concentrated. I used to buy it at the grocery store before I worked here so I was used to the ratio.. You just don't need to add water if you're making it hot

Pike, or Awake tea. I'm very much a tea guy, but I usually stick to Pike since I've got good old PG Tips in terms of tea at home.

Cafe Verona. MHMMMM

I always get the Keurig K-Cups. Those things are awesome but kinda expensive. Or, if I'm going away for the weekend, I get a pack of Vias. How OFTEN do you guys mark stuff out? I know we were told one thing per week, but I'm pretty sure I've marked out more often than that. I figured if we tried to mark something out before we were allowed to, the computer won't let us, but so far it hasn't. :)

I am a coffee drinker but I think Pike is disgusting. Same with any blonde. The only medium I like is Kenya and I use it for IC. Otherwise, I mark out French, Verona, or Komodo. I will occasionnally get Earl Grey tea.

I get the K-cups too and refresher via when I can find it. For the fall promo we'll have pumpkin spice via and anniversary blend k-cups. I'll definitely get the anniversary blend, but we'll see about the via...

I get colombia via for myself and usually some bold beans for myneighbour. i save tribute and casi cielo for myself, though. ethiopia sidamo and shade grown mexico are really good, as well as komodo and verona.
i'd like to try arabian mocha but i don't think sbux has offered that for years...
ALSO PUMPKIN SPICE VIA OMG I WANT IT NOW
