Okay Folks, here''s another one.......

[sevens one]

What is your "Starbucks" Drink?

 

[Kaleigh]

As you are heading there right now!!

Mine would be hot chocolate as I don''t drink coffee.
I know how boring!!!

 

[bluedawg]

Kaleigh, I will have a hot chocolate with you. I don''t drink coffee either!

 

[strmrdr]

pepsi!!!!
hehehe
Its all I drink.
Everytime im in the hospital I ask for a pepsi IV because my blood pepsi level is low.
Or ask what the pepsi level is when asking for blood test results.
Most of the time they think its funny :}

True story when was in the hospital for a blood clot in my lung when I started asking for pepsi my mom said your ready to go home.
She figured if I was back to having pepsi craving then I was well. LOL.

 

[belle]

no coffee for me either. though, i just loooove the smell of it...yum!

 

[onedrop]

Sevens: You seem to touch on everything that I am enthusiastic about!

If I want coffee: triple grande latte (iced in the summer) OR grande vanilla latte

Tea: grande chai soy latte.

 

[Kaleigh]

Thanks bluedawg!!!!

 

[researcher]

I drink--get ready--nonfat, no whip, soy white chocolate mochas OR affogato style blended chai tea with a coffee base (instead of the standard milk)

 

[Kaleigh]

strmrdr,
That''s funny about the pepsi, you''re ok now???

 

[MichelleCarmen]

lol - I live in Seattle where coffee is a food group on the pyramid, but we don''t buy Starbucks. . .lol We own a real espresso machine (not one of those crappy little toy ones) and a proper grinder. . . lol! We''re coffee snobs.

(pre espresso machine, I drank grande or venti soy lattes.)

 

[MissAva]

Dasani! I love water, unsweet tea and Diet Coke. I love the smell of coffee enjoy walking by the stands on campus and in the city. Still At heart I am Coca-Cola girl....And everyone here needs to visit World Of Coke

 

[fountainfairfax]

When I''m being good: Nonfat Grande Vanilla Latte, 3 sweet & lows
When I''m being bad: Grande Toffee Nut Latte, 3 sugars and whipped cream

What I did to keep from spending $4 a day at Starbucks: bought a Keurig home brewer ($250.00) with assorted Green Mountain K-Cups- I LOVE IT! It was such a hit in my family I bought one for my parents for their anniversary last year! We''re all coffee addicts and although it was a little expensive, my $20+ a week Starbucks habit helped me justify it!

 

[AChiOAlumna]

I''m not much of a coffee person, but I love Starbucks'' Christmas Peppermint Hot Chocolate

YUMMMMM!!!

Otherwise, I''m a Brita/Dasani water drinker...pretty boring, eh?

 

[Kaleigh]

Hey sevens,
With all the great threads you''ve been starting you may be giving DF a run for his money!!! Lol!!
Just kidding DF!!!

Twenty bucks is nothing! lol My husband and I were spending $70+ a week PLUS tips of $.50 - 1.00 per drink. There are espresso stands on every block around my neighborhood, so usually we went to whichever was closest and because one of my friends works at a stand, I knew that the baristas only make $ via tips, so I felt obligated to tip a decent amount.

 

[valeria101]

No Starbucks - for cofee I only like it very strong and dark (expresso is great) with nothing in it.

A place called "Tealuxe" that has my fix in the form of an endless list of teas (well, not all their shops have a long list - I tried them out all along the East Coast) including the all important cardamon chai (with or without milk, always full fat & no suggar).

 

[FireGoddess]

MMMMMMM - Starbucks.

In the cold months, I always get a nonfat, no foam, caramel macchiato. (The toffee nut lattes are also delish.)

In the warm months, it''s a caramel frappacino light.

Loving these threads!

 

[MINE!!]

Mine is a Grande Peppermint Mocha.... yum yum yum

 

[Mara]

i actually prefer coffee made at home because i'm super picky about my coffee and taste and 'strength' of flavor....we get Hawaiian coffee shipped over because I fell in love with it last year for the wedding...also I like the dark Gold Coast and Sumatra blends from Starbucks and I make coffee very stronggggg.

Irony? I don't actually drink it for the caffeine, I just like the way it tastes with lots of milk and sugar. I only have coffee about twice a week as well.

When I DO go to starbucks it's normally at the holidays for their amazing Gingerbread Latte's!!! mine is a Grande blended (lowfat) single no whip Gingerbread Latte....

once the Gingerbread Latte is gone (normally late Jan depending on where you are...)...I stop going to Starbucks as well.

 

[sjz]

Don''t have a Starbucks near me

, but whenever I visit the local coffee shop, I pretty much get a low-fat cinnamon latte. In the summer I drink it iced.

No Starbuck''s?!?! My fiance and I were laughing yesterday because we wanted coffee, and couldn''t decide whether we should go to the Starbuck''s in Barnes & Noble, the one at Albertson''s, or the stand alone shop--they''re all in the same shopping center and were equally close to where we were parked!

I take that back...now that you mention Barnes & Noble, I think there is a Starbuck''s in there, but it''s at the mall, and I hardly ever go to the mall, so I forget about that one! If I''m looking for books, I usually go to Borders (which is NOT at the mall...lol). I guess I''ll have to go to B&N one of these days and have a latte.

There is an Exresso Royale not far from where I live, and I like to go there. My husband likes Dunkin Donuts coffee...lol. He thinks that the coffee there is delish! But I can verify that ANYTHING tastes wonderful after drinking hospital coffee for 12 hours straight.

 

[mightyred]

I prefer Dunkin Donuts (which are on every corner in Boston!) but in summer I do like the rumba
frapuccino (with whipped cream) yum!

 

[mrssalvo]

mocha frappacino for me but my hubby insists that it doesn''t really count as coffee b/c of all the sugar and whipped cream but I love them

 

[FireGoddess]

Speaking of Borders, have you tried their hot vanilla chai tea? I hate the Starbucks Chai, but the one at Borders...I go just for that.

lol... were you in Mira Mesa?

 

[Patty]

I''m with kaleigh and bluedawg on the hot chocolate! I''ve never had coffee. I love the smell but hate anything coffee flavored. Plus, why have coffee when you can have CHOCOLATE?

 

[bstraszheim]

I have up to this date never actually stepped foot into a Starbucks : ) I don''t drink a great deal of coffee, I prefer tea and I''m a tea snob : ) It has to be loose tea brewed in a pot with the correct temperature water for the type of tea being brewed. I told you, I''m a tea snob. My favourite is white tea!

I wish you well,

Bridget

 

[Dancing Fire]

hot mocha or french roast coffee.

 

[lost on 5th]

im a simple sole.. "grande drip with room"


typically with 4 to 5 dashes of cinnamon, 3/4 a pack of splenda, and a little half and half

i always take one napkin, folded in half, to catch the drip from the seam of the cup (which i keep facing the back) if i am walking a lot, i take 2 more for my pocket... i will need them.



**** and i use a starkucks gift card i buy for myself. to keep the cash flow at starbucks under controll.
