Espresso, capuccino, latte, de-caf, home blend, extra strong, foamy, mocca, cinnamon.. what on earth is the point of all this nonsense. I've personally never had a cup of coffee that was disappointing and didn't fulfil its basic purpose - just pour the damn thing, will you! Black. Preferably hot. Sugar, no thank you. Milk, no thank you. ![]() Coffee ![]() |

Why does one have to feel a bit odd for just ordering a plain old cup of coffee without all the phony shenanigans that they thought up to increase profits and supposedly make chronically insecure people feel important? Give up the fags and you might start tasting the difference. |

BTW ill have a chocolate macciatto with 2 extra shots, tall please... If you hadn't used the word 'Tall' I might think you knew what you were talking about - in Starbucks a macchiato is not a real macchiato, but is more of just a latte with the shot poured in later instead of earlier. A real macchiato is a shot of espresso with a dollop of foam on the top. ![]() |

I have no desire for my coffe to taste like anything other than, you know, coffee. Neither have I, which is why I don't smoke. However, your coffee will indeed taste 'different' depending on where it is grown, how it is roasted, and how it is prepared- and also on what kind of water you use to make it. Robusta and Arabica taste different, as do Kenya AA Ndaroini Nyeri and Kenya Peaberry, Costa Rican and Jamaica Blue Mountain, Guatemalan Huehuetenango and Queensland Skyberry, Hawaiian Kona and Monsoon Malabar, Santos and Java and Mocha Mysore- to name but a few of my favourite things. I don't really understand why you're lumping in some ways of taking coffee with mocha or espresso or cappuccino and labelling them all as 'post-modern'- even in Yemen and Ethiopia where coffee drinking started, coffee isn't prepared in the way it is in Europe. |
