Starbucks plans switch to growth-hormone-free milk

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - Starbucks Corp. on Tuesday said it is aiming to make the milk and other dairy products it serves in its U.S. coffee houses free of a controversial artificial growth hormone used in dairies to increase milk production.
A conversion would initially be aimed at all 5,500 U.S. company-owned stores, but Seattle-based Starbucks is also exploring such a move with more than 3,000 licensed locations, a company spokesman said.

Yes and I will not go there.

Coffee preference is:
Staufs (just wish there were one close to the house)
Starbucks (convenience and decent coffee)
Cup O Joe
White Castles (They actually have very good coffee.)

What kind of grinder do you have? I need a new one. I actually snapped part of the blade grinding my coffee this morning.


As far as Caribou and Starbucks goes I like Starbucks better but I do like the iced coffee at Caribou and the breakfast bars they sell at the store.

I'll take Dunkiin' Donuts coffee any day of the week.
