Atlanta Cracker Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 It occurred to me yesterday as I was ordering a Triple Venti Non-fat Cappuccino that most everyone who frequents Starbucks on even a semi-regular basis has some drink of choice with a tricked up name. What's yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Since Starbucks does not offer an Honest-to-God decent cup of real coffee.... I go with an Americana w/triple shot of vanilla room for cream. No tricked up name but easy for them to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I forget what they call medium, I think it's either tall or grande. Medium coffee, leave room for cream. If their coffee of the day sounds good I'll order that. Medium fair-trade Zimbabwe antelope roast, leave room for cream. The stuff is like triple strength, and they usually don't leave enough room for cream so I have to dump some out. Honestly I prefer Wawa, I get to make my own. Usually half hazelnut and half Colombian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Â I think I had a diet coke there about 10 years ago. Other than that I have never been. So I guess my answer is diet coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am out and in need of a coffee I usually look for a Tully's or Seattle's Best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 small black coffee ... and i order it that way ... only when there are no other options available to get my fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 They make these contraptions called "coffee makers", so I make my own at home using Community Coffee, some milk and some sugar. Starbucks? They suck as a client and their coffee sucks for the price. Thanks, but not thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do like getting a cappuccino from them from time to time. For some reason I like theirs better than others I have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tricked up name but easy for them to make. I'm curious how you make that leap. Straight from "I just want a good cup of Joe" to three shots of vanilla. Â While I agree with not being a fan of their drip, if I'm stopping at a Starbucks, there's a reason and I simply don't care. So I'm usually just getting a large cup of coffee room for cream. Sometimes I just get a double espresso and top it off with cold milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 mostly make caps at home. now back in sf, i hit different coffee shops now and then (rarely starbucks). drink of choice is triple cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â They make absolutely terrible regular coffee. So if I have been forced to enter a Starbucks by someone I am with I order the 3 shot drink. The vanilla and the cinnamon I put in, plus the cream at least makes it drinkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEC=UGA Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I've purchased coffee from them, maybe a dozen times. They have a robust african bean that is not bad but not worth the price. I have to have cream and sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
