Favorite Starbucks Drink

[OutThere]

I have never had a Starbucks coffee in my life. I've eaten their overpriced, dry pastries, but that's it.

If I ever catch me talking the "lingo", I'll kick my own ass.

Coffee should come in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large
Coffee should come in 4 flavors: black, cream, sugar

Amen.

Actually, now that I think about it more, I've only been in 2 Starbucks in my life, and all I've actually had there was a bottled water and a piece of pumpkin bread (which was admittedly good btw).

Looking at their sizes table scared me off buying any drinks though...(small=big, tall=tiny? wtf?)

The stupid names really need to end. There are a few legitimate names, that are actually real coffee drinks outside of Starbucks. "Café Latte" and "cappucino" are okay in my books, but false derivatives that try to sound italian are really dumb.

But. But. THE PASTRIES ARE GOOD AND THE FANCY NAMES MAKE ME FEEL ELITE WHEN I'M EXPLAINING THE SIZES TO PEOPLE!

I too don't particularly like their desserts (although I eat them occasionally, esp. the iced lemon loaf), but I drink their coffee all the time.

My drink?

Iced venti light ice black-eye (20 oz iced coffee w/two shots of espresso). Two packets of Sugar in the Raw. Two packets of Splenda. Small amount of half and half. Hot weather, cold weather, rain, snow, sun. Same drink.

How often do I get it? Three Starbucks in the area start making me one as I walk in. Actually, two do. The other is a drive-through, and they ask me if I'll have my usual drink as soon as they see me on the video monitor.

The Italian words don't bother me. I already say "Mac" instead of "PC", so using snobbish terminology comes naturally.

PS It irks me when people say "expresso" instead of "espresso" when ordering.

My only problem with the terminology is that it isn't Italian...it's faux-talian.

You have no idea. I pulled over 1500 shots of espresso last summer (yes of course I kept track ), and every time someone tried to sound sophisticated about their coffee...like asking if we had any chilean or kenyan beans, they ordered 'expresso'.

i usualy get a venti sugar free soy vanilla latte with an extra shot of espresso, and my friends always yell at me about my long order
if it's really early though, i'll just get a doppio espresso with an extra shot (because they have to be all retarded and pseudo-italian, combined with not having a triple espresso on the menu)

Damn.

The number of things I could order if I went to Italy has just been halved. I thought I could get pasta and coffee. Now? Just pasta.

The fake-Italian doesn't bother me, really. My drink could be called a glooby-bork with a double jin-jin. All I really care about are two things: (1) it has lots of coffee in an easily consumable form, and (2) the staff is attractive.

Yes, (2) is very superficial, and I admit it. But every Starbucks in the area is staffed with hot women. God help me, that shouldn't matter, but it does. If Dunkin Donuts (another local staple, and it outnumbers Starbucks in this area) had similar staff, I'd probably find some way to drink what they try to call coffee.

I used to drink a lot of fancy schmanzy espresso drinks, but now mostly go for plain black coffee. No room, no sugar, no foolin' around!

Around the holidays, I do like a peppermint mocha or an eggnog latté.

You mean turpentine? Might want to stay away from that...

Dunkin' Donuts coffee is really bad. I'd drink McDonalds coffee over Dunkin' Donuts.

(2) is actually very important. I maintain we built up a solid base of regular coffee buyers last summer because of my dashing good looks.

I actually had the privilege to work with several attractive females, which was probably a bit more of a draw, being that our regulars were men.

Coffee should come in 4 flavors: black, cream, sugar

What's the fourth flavor?

As for me I usually get a quad espresso. It's cheap and cuts the foreplay of the caffeine drinking experience.

I hate starbucks....but the giant cookies are pretty damned good

DITTO! I get dragged to StarBunks about once a month or so for some impromtu meeting with our sales managers and I'm still confused by the "tall" , like no, just sell me a f**kin cup of black coffee.

I do enjoy a Mocha on the rare occasion but that doesn't mean every cup of coffee has to be so complicated.

 

[crazycat]

cream & sugar.

 

[kretzy]

Java Chip frappacinos are my favourite though I'll drink pretty much anything on the menu. The Tazo teas are quite refreshing also!

 

[Seasought]

cream & sugar.

A combination of the two, got it.
