I need something from Texas, Flint. (coffee thread)

He said, "what's a latte?" My jaw about hit the ground. How can you not know what a latte is, in this day and age?

Well wtf is it??

[lookout123]

i figure about $6/day on coffee.

i stop every morning at the gas station on the corner here for my tall machine made "french vanilla capacino". it isn't really any of those three things, but it's yummy. more importantly i stop and chat with a couple of old timers that hang out there BS'ing the morning away.

during the day i drink some gourmet mix of the day from the cafe that is part of my building lease agreement. that's in my rent so i'll pretend that there is no cost associated with it.

in the late afternoon i alternate days with Starbucks Java Chip, or a local specialty shop. Again, the drink is nice, but the real point is to chat with the regulars at each place. You wouldn't believe how many people are willing to talk about their money after chit chatting over coffee a couple of times.
