    I drink coffee ( and a lot of it ) - strictly for the drug inside of it

    I love Starbucks coffee - but that's all I get from there -

    Black coffee - no tricks, no creams , no syrups, no mocha or macchiatos, etc.

    Their biggest coffee costs $1.90 -2.00 depending on where you are

    If you're paying $5, you was robbed
    I'll keep taking punches
    Untill their will grows tired

    You can get a bottle of 100 caffeine pills for less than $10, which is 100 cups of coffee.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Well, I do like the taste, of course


    But thanks for the tip

    I just don't trust pills all that much

    OK I'll admit it...I'm a Starbucksaholic. I luv it....Mocha's are my favorite. Serious addiction issues here. I had to wean myself off of it last winter because I was gaining pounds from all the fat....not a healthy habit! I'm proud to say I am down to 1 or 2 a month. Actually I luv any coffee, but Starbucks is the equivalent junk food to coffee drinkers as McDonalds is to burger buffs.
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense.

    A truly liberal person is conservative when necessary.

    Pro-life by choice.

    I have to laugh in that we have a single serve coffee maker in the office. Supposedly the quality is great and it is free. Yet every day about half the coffee drinkers buy their coffee.

    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?

    Anyway, I've only been to a Starbucks once. Last year at the Gorge. The morning after the Saturday show, Wolfbear and I drove into Ellensburg and got some AC and coffee.

    I drink starbucks....at times...but only because it's the only place to get a latte around here. If there was a local place I'd go there instead.

    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.

    it's not even all that good for coffee, they roast the piss out of it and cover it's burnt flavor with lots of milk.

    Give me a mild roasted Costa Rican every morning.


    I like my beer malts roasted, keep the coffee mild and black.

    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!!!
