Starbucks Coffee
I am reminded yet again, that Starbucks really doesn't make good coffee. I remember the day after Starbucks closed it's doors for that one day marketing meeting, they were advertising the fact that they were coming out with a new blend. This blend, Pike Place, was supposed to be the good stuff. The staple that everyone wanted back in the day of the first stores opening.
Well, I'm drinking it now and its really just, mediocre. It's too acidic, as usual, and brewed waaaay too long. I avoided the soymilk and put in my own little helping of rice milk along with two sugar in the raw packets. When I tasted it, I bit the bullet and added a third sugar. I needed the sweetness to cut the strength of the coffee.
Don't get me wrong. I like my coffee like I like my men, strong and dark (do they make a Pavel roast?), I can shoot back espresso shots like a spring breaker does tequila, but that doesn't help when the coffee just isn't that good to begin with.
One of the best coffee's I had was one I just picked up one day at Sunflower Market because it was cheap. I haven't had the pleasure of a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee, so I have yet to find out if the legend is true on that account.
There is one thing I can definitely count on though, as I drink this this morning: I will be zooming around the office, high on caffeine in about 0.2 seconds.
Well, at least its better then the lime-buildup roast the office sevrves . .
See myu typiiidng is alrweady succeumbed to thwe caffeinwe fairies . . .
Weeeeee!
