from what i remember their normal coffee tastes burnt as hell, so probably espresso because with a decent machine it's hard to completely fuck up

Sometimes, I just want a caramel frappucino. And I have never found even a decent substitute.

But between it being starbucks and full of sugar and shit, they're quite rare. I feel dirty every time I have one.

Global Village FTW!

No love for the eggnog latte? Damn good on a cold day. Though I'm fond of the peppermint too.

Venti iced Americano with two to three Splenda. Four Splenda if I'm splurging.

Occasionally, I get back into the caramel macchiatos or the seasonal treats, and the weight gain is almost immediate. Most recently, I gained about a pound off pumpkin spice lattes in like less than a week.


And, in terms of drinking local, it's not entirely evident that local is always better.

we registered for a 10-cup coffee maker when we got married cuz we thought it was the right thing to do. neither of us knows how to use it, and it's only been used like 3 times - when my mom was staying with us

What I don't understand is stopping at $bux before work.

All that time in veering off/altering one's route to work, parking, waiting in line, paying, etc

...those are precious minutes of sleep given up

hahah the Starbucks i hit never has a line. ever. and it isn't even out of my way. i take a right into the shopping center and then get right back on course. it seriously takes me less than 5 minutes to pull in, get my drink, and pull out. in the drive-thru, of course.

....but starbucks is costing me lots of dollarbucks. eh, i'm a baller, i can swing it.

It's very similar. The taste is slightly different I suppose.

I like it because it's made by the cup, which means I can get a decaf coffee even if they've stopped serving decaf or their decaf is old.

When espresso is brewed, the coffee grounds are more tightly packed and are finely ground. It's a "high-pressure brew" so you get a smaller amount of coffee with a stronger taste.

As far as caffeine content goes... one shot of espresso has half the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee but espresso has a higher concentration amount.

Is Port City Java in Raleigh yet? There's a chain I'll support, if not going to a local shop. But yeah, local all the way. I don't hate Starbucks, because I don't go there for a real cup of coffee. It's sortof like getting mad at Nickelback for butchering Tchaikovsky

I'm using that next time someone is all OMG THEIR COFFEE SUCKS.

...My money isn't spent on coffee I can make better at home.

I feel dirty going there because it's this huge behemoth of a company, and I adore supporting local businesses.

haha it has hardly any foam (unless you asked for more).. think the amount of foam you would get with a latte

a cafe au lait is half coffee and half steamed milk... I would put 1 pump sugar free chocolate (sometimes I would add in cinnamon), put about 1/3 - 1/2 coffee, then fill with steamed skim (or 2%) until about half an inch from the top then fill the rest with foam.

and sometimes I'd add whip cream on top of the foam.

[Edited on October 1, 2009 at 9:08 AM. Reason : half an inch, not a whole inch]
