I'll have a grande, nonfat latte, with dolce, white chocolate,180 degrees, extra foam and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top please.

PS: Did you know Starbucks sells their coffee in pods? Enjoy your new machine.

 

Nothing against starbucks, but I don't really like their coffee anymore. My wife used to work at a small coffee store called The Spotted Cow in Mill Creek and they had some great coffee. Since I started getting my coffee there, all of the other big chain coffee shops just have not tasted the same. I don't know if it's different roasting, or beans, but I really like the coffee they server at her old store.

 

Uh oh, the news reached Greta... I did not know that Starbucks sells their coffee in pods. Do they work in my machine too?

 

Can it make a Cuban Expresso? That stuff is addicting as hell, drinking it since i was young, the real Cuban Expresso's down here especially in Miami is like heaven lol.

Honestly all these years and I've only had one thing at Starbucks, love their Caramel Frap.

 

I think Starbucks went downhill about August of last year. Not sure why. The coffee just started tasting bad for me around then. I'm typically a fan of local shops. Less busy and friendlier barista's imho

 

Not a huge espresso drinker... I drink so much coffee that I would go broke if it were espresso's lol. I just make my own coffee, but I do buy some beans at Starbucks, the Casi Cielo (same coffee that Canlis serves) is really good.

 

LOL I'm the same way V. I actually drink (As Carly says) Crap Cafe Francis by General Foods at my office. $3.00 gets me 6-8 mugs of coffee. I think that's the cheaper chicken

 

I would agree with this... everytime I get one I am pissed
their coffee is total crap
their distribution is good

if you want a coffee you pretty much could drive a couple blocks in any direction and get a sbux... yeah I know they are closing stores etc... but they need to get back to basics... and that is at least decent coffee. the crap they serve now is dreadful

ohh well... I am still pulling for them... they are good for the local economy.

I will not drink Tullys
last cup of coffee on earth is at tullys and reserved for me
not a chance -- shady business tactics experienced first hand
I will be in the blachers celebrating their total collapse

rant over
thanks

Try the cafe Fiore in ballard if you get a chance

 

Hahaha my daily coffee is Maxwell House or something like that from Safeway... I also have Starbucks or Peet's coffee that I grind up and drink once in a while at the office, but it goes too fast when I make it there lol. Cheap coffee FTW!

On a side note, I really like Peet's coffee. Also satellite in Tacoma is really good.

 

I should get you guys some beans from The Spotted Cow. My wife gave those out to friends and so far has not heard any bad reviews.

 

My mom makes maxwell or folgers with hazelnut. I'm not a big coffee person but it smells good

Mark, Mara is a part time barista and can whip up some mean lattes that would make you want to move to france and wear a lewinski beret.

 

I french press ours, when not jones'n for a quad venti mocha.

I love their coffee. Excelent. 25 bucks is 2.5 lbs shipped. Enough for a month. Don't forget a good burr grinder.....

 

Good thing it is just the beret, cuz if it was the spotted dress we would begin to wonder.

 

Ya but she's married. It's no fun when they are married.

btw Grouse I've been known to wear a dress or two if the right occasion pops up.

 

Had my Nespresso machine for about four years now, LOVE it!
