"short" cappuccino
 

Better cappuccino for less at Starbucks. more
I can't verify this because I don't drink coffee, but you can.

that's a good tip, Bruce.

I try not to buy much Starbucks coffee, etc. because of the "latte-factor" (as coined by David Bach); i.e., save your latte money instead of spending it.

Make coffee at home--it's better anyway.

BTW, I saw the first Starbucks in Seattle on my trip, which was kind of neat. Didn't go in--too packed, but goggled a bit at the bare-breasted mermaid sign.

Oh yes I discovered that very thing before I boycotted starbucks for charging me too much for awful coffee.


I say it everytime cloud. The best coffee is my own.

I am curious why you do not drink coffee bruce. My best friend isn't a coffee drinker either and likes chi tea.....but images you know.
So you're not a burly coffee drinker aye?

Burly? Every chick, metrosexual and queer I know, drinks coffee, so it's hardly burly.
It takes a real man to just say no. Grunt, snort, grunt.

Seriously though, I just don't like the taste of it.

oh lol

well I'm not burly either:cool:

Ick, coffee bad.

I'm a tea-boy all the way. Iced, hot, milk, black, sweet, bitter... I just love tea.

Zhen zhu nai cha (bubble milk tea) is a little nasty, but otherwise, great

Starbucks burns their coffee, end of story.

starbucks makes excellent, strong coffee. and they charge too much for it. I used to get latte's from them, and would order the tall, because it had 2 shots...same as the venti.....meaning, the venti was just extra milk.

All things considered, I prefer to go to Dunkin Donuts anymore. but, aside from price and convenience, I'd druther have Starbucks coffee in my mug.

I loves me some great coffee! Strong!

Make a red-eye, three parts dark French roast, one part espresso.

Why do they call it a red-eye?

Doesn't espresso have less caffeine than slow-drip? (amount of caffeine in coffee is proportional to the length of time the coffee is in contact with the water)

Truckers started it.
Used to put it on ice an chug it.
They also used to put it in a big cup with a Jolt cola, Turbo Coke... did it once.
Espresso has about the same as VERY strong coffee. The high pressure of the water makes-up for the time.
That was true of the older machines, the new ones have MUCH higher pressure.
The home machines take longer and actually make much stronger Espresso.
(I worked in a Bistro as a chef and ran the machines for a while, we had a class)

dude, is there a profession that you haven't worked in? Every time i turn around, you're saying that you used to do that for a living. either you're like 150 yrs old, or you are a freaking transient employee.

I have talked about cooking before... I have done a lot. Different cooking, construction (several different types including marine and steel), ranching (which includes a lot of stuff like hunting, tracking, cattle and ostriches/emus, agriculture, irrigation, mechanics, welding, building, animal husbandry, etc, etc, etc), teaching, acting, some part time jobs like fast food-waiting tables-matre' d (sp?), sand-blasting, set building for stage, painting, refinishing houses, and finally the last few, the distillery and insurance. I have a degree in acting and communication.
