I would prefer to avoid caffeine, but over time it has proven to be a pre-work necessity. So, I stop at the local gas n' go for my 16 ounce, $1.62 "Rain City Roast" from Fidalgo Bay every morning before work. Where the hell is Fidalgo Bay?
Nice. My dad used to keep a boat at Fidalgo Marina. My parents had a house in Anacortes for a few years.
I frequent local independent coffee shops around Seattle, preferably those who do their own roasting. Zoka is the best, no question (http://www.zokacoffee.com/). My drink is a double, short Americano (2 shots of espresso, a little hot water in a small cup). No cream. No sugar. Just the beautiful flavor of coffee.

I had a starbucks latte while in seattle the other week, it's the weakest coffee out there, no wonder people go in and ask for a double or tripple shot.
Starbucks are on to a good money making scheme there, make it taste of warm milk and they'll spend a few cent's more to make the coffee actually taste like coffee.
Best Latte's are from small cafe's least there always good and strong.
Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!
The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
The coffee from starbucks sucks. It doesn't even taste like coffee. But it seems paying 5X what that shit is worth does a hell of a job attracting customers. So bravo to the genious who did that.
Only wankers go to cafes, however good they are. The pub trade is dying and the world is becoming over-populated with petit-bourgeois tossers who have forgotten the joys of irresponsible drinking, fighting and insulting the police.
Best Starbucks drink:
Go to Costco and buy one of those 12 packs of Starbucks Frappiccinos.
Pour one of those bottles in a blender.
2 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Whip til it's the consistancy of a milk shake.
Add a shot of Kualua.
Pour into a glass.
top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
...
Fuckin' aye, Jack... that gooooood shit.
...
and you get to make 11 more after that!!!

Bloody hell...that's poetry!

I love the British attitude. I'm looking at taking my son to London for his 14th birthday for a week and all i can thin kto do there is to show him how to drink irresponsibly. Son, here's how you drink too much at the football game. Son, here's how you over drink at breakfast.

You don't pay their coffee which isn't that, you pay for their so called atmosphere.

have you people seen the lines in the morning in places like 'the city?
Oh I realize it's popular, but then it's been a while since I lined up for coffee in the morning anyway.
The one and only time I've been to one it had just opened in one of the best "coffee" areas in Melbourne and it caused a bit of a furore amongst the local traders. So I tried it, I wasn't impressed given the quality of the coffee choices I had around me, and I never went back.
I know I wasn't the only person to do so. It was a bit of a community effort at the time.

Ahh yes...right. The square footage factor. The price of ambiance can indeed be priceless. Casual fine dining for true coffee connoisseurs.

Hold on to the thread

A truly liberal person is conservative when necessary.
