Well, if you want to get all pedantic about it then read this page: http://www.costa.co.uk/coffee/nutritional_info.aspx
"Remember that at Costa all of our drinks can be made to your exact requirements. Whether you prefer skimmed, full fat or soya milk, enjoy caffeinated, decaffeinated, or fair-trade coffee, the choice is yours."

Ive been in a posh coffee shop once (not by choice, next doors saniflow toilet was pumping mulched shite back up through their basins) he asked if I wanted a coffee and I got a cup which resembled a thimble full of a foul tasting liquid, so I will be giving them a miss from now on.

You said the company is fair trade but they are not.. They probably carry one or two 'fair trade' beans.

I like to mince about Starbucks in my brown leather sandals, typing meaninglessly on my MacBook and drinking some coffee I don't even know what is in it but it sounds trendy.
I don't own sandals, a MacBook or drink coffee

i don't drink coffee, but i visit Costa every Sunday to sit watch the world go by and read my book...
I also wear Raybans (outside)
does this mean im a cunt?!
Wouldn't want to sit in a smelly rowdy pub, or go to a resteraunt just for Coffee so why is that bad?
And if you think Coffee shops are full of badgers, you have clearly never been in a pub

NOTHING to do with fair trade.. In fact it basically means they pay the same poor fuckers absoloutely sod all to plant some more fucking tree's so they can sell more overpriced coffee to yuppies.
There is no defending the "coffee culture", its capitalism and exploitation working at its finest!
Its the same silly fuckers who spend £2,00 on an iPhone and 'apps' who will go and buy £4 cups of shit coffee.

jesus, joseph and mary what the fuck are you on about?! Do you know where nescafe and most of the instant coffee jars on the shelves come from? probably the same field or do you thinkg a ginger student getting whipped by a middle aged black man is loading the beans into hessian sacks? if thinking that makes you feel better whilst you drive about in your porsche then crack on. Im not going to feel bad about it, if we werent buying the coffee then they wouldnt have a job.

Some poor fuck in South America is getting paid 12p a day to work his arse off to live in a hall hole and eat just enough food to survive and someone else on the other side of the world is paying £7 for a cup of coffee and a fucking biscuit.
Costa, Starbucks etc. are the root of all EVIL, and to top it off their shops attract over indulgent cocks that would make a 1980's stock trader cringe.
Well said Davey
