If there is a new coffee/tea supplier of any note, I think we can expect a press release on the subject. However, if it's just a food service industry supplier, it's just going to slip under the door unheralded. I guess time will tell.

For myself, I'm not pulling for Starbuck's. As far as I'm concerned (and I'm not alone), the "secret" to Starbuck's is over-roasting to the point of nearly burning. I like a dark roast as well as, or maybe more, than the next guy, but not every bean benefits from that kind of treatment.

ANY KIND of fresh brewed tea would be great!!!! I can put some sugar in it, but only soda should be coming out of the fountain...not tea...yuck! Is it just me or does the fountain stuff have a funky metallic taste to it?
I worked in the Barnes & Noble Cafe while in college and agree with the majority about Starbucks being too strong. Never could tolerate the coffee, but got hooked on the Venti non-fat, no whip White Chocolate Mocha.....yep, it's my addiction. Course when ya drown the taste with milk and flavoring it's really good.
I just wish Disney had a couple Starbucks or Dunkins on property so we had a choice. Love the Twinings tea. Hope they don't ever get rid of that!

They were giving out samples of the VIA on Main Street in Annapolis a week or so ago. I filled my pockets with the little samples. No one seemed to understand what they were, and they were fabu!

Starbucks I agree is way to strong however i found a work-around for this problem. I drink starbucks almost everyday, but I always ask for it to be 1/4 coffee and 1/2 hot water and 1/4 cold milk. Throw in 2 splenda's and it's perfect!

Not a Starbucks fan. Too strong for me. Dunkin Donuts would be good.

At least strong coffee you can water down, weak coffee is still weak coffee

How true!

[Diz]

Forgot to add the rumor I heard....
Only the locations that deal with whole beans are changing because Nescafe is getting out of the fresh brewed side of coffee.

I believe DL has made the change...has anyone been to DL and can report? I think it's Joffreys -- that already has kiosks at WDW.

It will be interesting to see what really comes our way!

it doesn't bother me none because i can't stand coffee

Coffee has been a sore point with us as my husband has had some unprintable things to say about the standard stuff at the WDW food courts. When McD's changed their coffee he began to drink that regularly in place of Dunkin' Donuts (he didn't care for the management of the local franchise), although we do hit DD on 192 when we're out at Publix. The coffee stands at Epcot and TTC (Joffrey's?) are acceptable to him, and he has come to terms with Starbucks after years of calling it "burned overpriced yuppie crap."

However, he has found his coffee nivana at WDW at the Tangierene Cafe in Morocco at Epcot. The cafe au lait has been perfect every time. In fact, it is so good that we actually have added park hopping to our passes primarily to allow us to go to Morocco anytime we want during our visit. Seriously! That's how I got my husband to agree to the extra $.

And he has shifted to more teas, with the tea stand in Asia at AK and the one at China in Epcot must stops for us.

Tim Hortons would be delightful -- sign me up!

I hope this is one rumor that is true! The only way I have ever been able to stomach the nescafe is to mix it with hot chocolate at the resort food courts. My DH will be beyone thrilled if a change is in the works

Totally agree with this. There is a reason we bring our own coffee so that we are guaranteed at least a good cup to start the day. I prefer the grinder going with us but when I can't have that I grind the coffee the morning we fly to wdw.

I heart Starbucks. I don't drink coffe but I really miss my Chai Lattes while at the World. And there is no Chai Latte like a Tazo Chai latte IMHO!

Good to know about the coffee in Morocco! I've never tried it. I am totally with you all on the tea, though. I never miss a stop at the tea place in China.
