I have never had any ...

Mach said:

not necessarily, but that Chantico..... damn, it will cure a sugar jones in a half second.....

Mach said:

Try Costa.....way better

Don't do it!

You'll become addicted!

And it will suck all your money!

It happened to me!

Don't let it happen to you!

Starbucks is Satan with an apron.

I dont drink coffee so I'm cool
But I will be trying that Chantico

Over-roasted beans. There's better coffee out there.

as far as stuff i make at home, i prefer trader joe's beans over starbucks'.

but when i need a stiff hit of the hard stuff, i'll admit it: a big cuppa starbucks does the trick every time.

I buy way too many latte's every week.

I mean fuck, she even gassed me into buying one of those starbucks cards that I put money on every month.

She's worse than a really hot girl that works at the gym. At least with her, you go to the gym.

This one, all she does is give me calories.

Too good...

Rubbish.

Get real coffee somewhere else, not all this trendy frothy crap.

i usually get plain ol' black coffee when i go to starbucks, except for recently, as i've come down with a nasty green tea frappo addiction. i can't get with all those prefixes and adjectives just to order a damn coffee.

Anxiety said:

Can you go in and just ask for 'a coffee'?

NoodleSoup said:

yeah, it's cute the looks they get on their little faces. it's like walking into my local indie snob record shop and saying, "hey, what's good?"

Anxiety said:

the closest starbucks is a 50 minute each way ride

i figure maybe one day when i'm in town i may try one

You should grind your own beans, it's cheaper.

NoodleSoup said:

i do...fresh ground every morning

Mach said:

if you like coffee and you can condition yourself to take a travel mug of something you like to make at home, don't bother. it's just easier for me, being i'm lazy and that my commute is a 15 minute train ride and there are starbucks on every corner in chicago.

Anxiety said:

i usually just pour a mug full and sit out on the deck watching the morning come over the mountians

Mach said:

Oh, I was just setting up a ReturnofDOOK joke.

That reminds me of this time I was in line for a chai tea before work one morning. This middle-aged suburban woman was in line behind me all wide eyed and in awe of being in 'the big city' and decided to tell me all about how she'd never been to a Starbucks before, asked me what I thought she should order, all that. You'd think she was waiting in line for Disneyland.

well i am big city born ...country by choice

at least i think i can make my own choice without going into a panic attack

Mach said:

sitting here, with the skeeters and well, anyway.....I don't hate you, because that is such a strong word, but I am so very green with envy of watching the day begin in the mountains.....

bluesbaby said:

Mach said:

Your house sounds so peaceful...it is what you make it

I am craving one right.... now. I simply need to get in my car... and go get one.
