![]() By: Alexa Rizo One of the two most popular and known coffee places would be Starbucks and Peet’s coffee. These two coffee places are very used to just grab a breakfast meal and your coffee for the morning, and many students that are in high school or college would usually bring their computers and study for a while. These two places could be very similar in many ways such as their price and even the taste of the coffee, the only difference would be location or the company name. The history of Starbucks is that Starbucks was first opened in Seattle, Washington, on March 31, 1971. It was opened by three partners who all study at the University of San Francisco, the three students were turned, teachers. The three teachers where Jerry Baldwin an English teacher, Zev Siegl a history teacher, and lastly Gordon Bowker a writer where all inspired to sell high-quality coffee beans. The logo was found as something that represented as the history of its city, Heckler went over old marine books until he had come up with the logo based on an old 16th-century Norse woodcut, a two-tailed mermaid. The came up with the name by the first-mate of the whale-ship Pequod, the ship in Moby Dick. Many people do enjoy Starbucks for most of the part, but others have different opinions with it. According to freshman student named Julia said that “when I go to Starbucks I always get a strawberry acai and vanilla bean frappe because I like how it has so much taste and the pieces of strawberries that comes with it.” This demonstrates that the coffee from Starbucks is very refreshing and tasty to drink on a hard day to cheer you up. According to another freshman student named Marcos said that “when I go to Starbucks I get a Caramel Frappuccino always because it's really good and it's not too sweet to drink.” This illustrates that there could many options to pick in Starbucks that could be very tasty and good to drink. One sophomore I interviewed said that she has only, “drank Starbucks one time,” and she ordered a mango-passion tea and says, “ it was really refreshing and was cool to try it, but I don't think I would be likely to order it again because I could have made at home.” The history of Peet's coffee is that Peet's coffee is a San Francisco Bay Area-based in a coffee roaster and retailer. It was founded in 1996 by Alfred Peet in Berkeley, California, Peet’s introduced the United States to its darker roasted Arabica coffee with a french toast aside. The named of the place was found by the name of Alfred Peet which represents his name. Other people would casually enjoy drinking Peet's coffee every day instead of Starbucks because it might be closer to them or just like the flavor more. According to a junior student said that “the flavor of Peet's coffee is an interesting taste to the mouth because sometimes it makes you feel in some kind of way”. This clearly demonstrates how people really look for the flavor in these coffees. The flavor does really mean to people and mostly for the caffeine people that are obsessed with drinking coffee every day of their lives. Many people have their different opinions within both coffee shops, in some points, people won’t like the flavors or taste of the coffee. According to a freshman student, Ernesto said that “I’ve tried the Caramel Frappe, it wasn't bad but it had a very strong taste of coffee which I am not a big fan of.” This demonstrates that others wouldn’t like it because of the strong flavor that it contains. According to another freshman student said that “sometimes the flavors could be off and sometimes I just hate when they get your name wrong”. This also illustrates that the flavors are something very important for many people. Some main differences and similarities between the two coffee shops are things such as the prices and menu. For example Peet's coffee centers around coffee. Expresso, and a few tea/ no caffeine products. Meanwhile, Starbucks includes baked goods and more smoothie/ flavored tea than Peets. Overall, people have different opinions of their coffee’s and sometimes they want their coffee to just be as perfect including their names. They would all be different that maybe people like Starbucks, but others prefer Peet's coffee. Comments are closed.
