during the colder months, it's a Skinny Vanilla Latte.

during the warmer months, it's an Iced version of the above, or an Iced Passion Tea. or one of those yummy frappy things, nonfat with no whipped cream.

starbucks sucks

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

9/30/2009 11:53:48 AM

i don't have a starbucks cup.

9/30/2009 11:54:03 AM

in the rare occurance i go to starbucks, it would be a white chocolate hot chocolate!

9/30/2009 11:55:29 AM

in the rare occurance I get a vanilla frappucino

9/30/2009 11:58:09 AM

before i developed a taste for coffee/espresso, i always got the hot Caramel Apple Cider. once i developed a taste for coffee/espresso, i started getting the White Chocolate Mocha. then i discovered the Nutrition Facts page on the internet and that put an end to the White Chocolate Mochas

9/30/2009 11:59:58 AM

grande or venti non-fat latte

9/30/2009 12:02:05 PM

its fall...I should be drinking a Maple Machiatto...but they no longer do those.

SO DAMN GOOD. AND SMELLED EVEN BETTER

9/30/2009 12:09:48 PM

what exactly is a Macchiato? please be my Google.

9/30/2009 12:10:27 PM

I only go during this time of year for skim pumpkin spice lattes

9/30/2009 12:12:50 PM

a macchiato is SUPPOSED to be a shot of espresso with a dollop of foam on top




Starbucks has a macchiato (the espresso shot w/ foam) and a caramel macchiato which is a caramel LATTE with whip cream and caramel drizzle on top.

I used to hate people who would come in when I worked in coffee shops and order a macchiato...expecting the starbucks version of a caramel macchiato.

^ I almost put that put didn't this guy came into the coffee shop I worked at and ordered a caramel macchiato.... so I made it the RIGHT way... he went to pick up his cop and felt how light it was and was like and asked where the rest of his drink was. I said, um that's it right there. He then told me, "Well that's not how Starbuck's makes it!!" and I said "Well, we're not Starbuck's."

9/30/2009 12:15:14 PM

so, a shot of espresso in steamed milk with a dollop of foam on top? that's a latte with foam, haha. why's it got such a fancy name?

ok so it's JUST a shot of espresso with a shit-ton of foam on top of it? how is that a drink? foam is like...foam.

[Edited on September 30, 2009 at 12:16 PM. Reason : .]

9/30/2009 12:15:30 PM

^ a latte is supposed to have foam, it's just very little

a machiatto has much less to it and is hardly anything, really

9/30/2009 12:16:43 PM

ooh ok, see i guess that just doesn't make sense to me. if i want a drink, i want a drink, haha. not some kinda foam with 2oz of espresso underneath

9/30/2009 12:17:27 PM

trust me, it doesn't make sense to me either.

I think it's mainly just for people who truly love espresso and just want that.. yuck

9/30/2009 12:18:11 PM

the 2 drinks I order @ Starbucks

Iced Grande Black and White Mocha w/ Skim Milk, no whip

-or-

Iced Grande Peppermint Mocha w/ Skim Milk. I ask for it w/ 1/2 the amoutn of p.mint they usually use b/c if you don't, it tastes like mint toothpaste

[Edited on September 30, 2009 at 12:18 PM. Reason : f]

9/30/2009 12:18:34 PM

this winter i'm going to get a Peppermint Mocha just the way they normally make it, full of fatty goodness. and i'm gonna enjoy every drop

9/30/2009 12:23:04 PM

you'll have minty fresh breath all day

9/30/2009 12:24:15 PM

my favorite is the pumpkin spice latte but its got WAY too much fat to drink more than a couple times a season

usually though my cup is from cup-a-joes

9/30/2009 12:26:49 PM

i'm surprised it took this long for someone to say they don't drink Starbuck's overpriced coffee

9/30/2009 12:28:20 PM

has nothing to do with price or some retarded idea that starbucks is evil, i just think cup-a-joes makes a better latte

9/30/2009 12:29:01 PM

Should I look up Starbuck's nutrition information?


or is ignorance bliss?

9/30/2009 12:29:45 PM

you don't want to know. beyond a basic coffee or latte that shit is horrible.

9/30/2009 12:30:31 PM

dunkin' donuts

9/30/2009 12:31:16 PM

hahah don't look! i was getting a white chocolate mocha twice a week a few years ago. usually a venti. then i got curious and looked online - i was taking in 580 calories every morning before i even had my breakfast

9/30/2009 12:32:00 PM

I wish I lived closer to Cup-A-Joe


I go maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I always get a Iced Grande sugar-free milkyway with skim milk

9/30/2009 12:32:22 PM

http://www.starbucks.com/retail/nutrition_beverages.asp

9/30/2009 12:32:53 PM

9/30/2009 12:34:56 PM

9/30/2009 12:35:37 PM

LOL

we should start another thread...How many calories is in your Starbucks cup?


Mine is 170 for a grande mocha w/ skim milk and no whip...and 60 calories for 1 pump of white mocha.

9/30/2009 12:36:27 PM

plz to support your local coffee shop

9/30/2009 12:36:36 PM

Iced dirty chai when it's warm, varies when it's cold out, but (I feel so old and lame saying this) I can't drink the super sweet mocha kind of drinks anymore

9/30/2009 12:37:41 PM

^^I'm all about supporting local. I used to work in a few different local coffee shops (cupajoe, royal bean, hammocks coffee)


But on my way to work, the only coffeeshop is Starbucks.

my skinny vanilla latte is only 130 calories, and that's the norm most of the year. if i get the iced passion tea, it's still under 150 calories.

sometimes i just want a 600 calorie drink though

9/30/2009 12:37:55 PM

I've only been once and I got one of those Tazo® Green Tea Latte - 360 calories...eesh.

9/30/2009 12:38:39 PM

thumper, i weight like 110lbs and am super skinny....i need all the yummy calories i can get

btw i never, i mean never ever look at calories etc while i eat...i will probably when i go on to be 50!

9/30/2009 12:39:38 PM

^oh shush up.

9/30/2009 12:40:34 PM

9/30/2009 12:41:09 PM

^are you saying i'm fat?

9/30/2009 12:41:13 PM

all i am saying is

WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA

[Edited on September 30, 2009 at 12:44 PM. Reason : chocolate ]

If you get a skim version w/o whip cream, a medium (grande?) is only 260 cal and 5 g of fat...that's not toooo awful

the regular made way though is ridiculous

9/30/2009 12:45:08 PM

btw i worked at Port City Java on centennial campus and got hooked to white chocolate mocha....starbucks addiction started way later

thats not bad for a snack, for a drink its terrible though

9/30/2009 1:03:43 PM

A mocha, or a frap. Chocolate mint mocha when they've got it.

Never just straight up coffee, that's why we have a french press.

I'm tempted to get something like this http://www.wholelattelove.com/Handpresso/handpressowild.cfm for my espresso needs and just cut coffee shops completely out of the equation.

9/30/2009 1:10:31 PM

Fuck yeah, Starbucks. I like the Caramel Macchiato or the Mint Double Chocolate Chip Mint WITH whipped cream, damn is that an only once in a long time sort of treat.


The coffee shop here I go for the Caramel Latte either hot or cold depending on my body temperature. I want a warm one right now.

9/30/2009 1:18:49 PM

set up 2 pages of overpriced coffee
