| What's your poison... Posted: 10/10/2005 7:25:02 PM | I rarely drink coffee. If I do, it's most likely espresso.
I used to manage Kaffa (LOVE the place!) and I remember anticipating our regulars's drinks. I still see some of them once in a while, and I remember that they prefer, even if they don't remember me (I used to get a lot of, "Hey, don't I know you?" looks after I left, because I look so different working than I do out & about. Believe me, it was lots of fun confusing people... I know, I'm bad).
How you take your coffee DOES say a lot about you, I think. The 1/2 soy, 1/2 skim, double shot espresso with 1/2 a shot of caramel and 1/2 shot of vanilla customers (yes, there were two!) always seemed the artistic verging on crazy type (my kind of people, and I loved them as customers). The skim, double decaf espresso with sugar-free vanilla syrup people seemed a bit... er... well yeah. I think we actually called this drink the 'Why Bother?'
My personal favorites were those customers who ordered the Death by Chocolate: half coffee, half chocolate milk, one shot of chocolate syrup, chocolate whip cream and chocolate sprinkles. Okay, it's a bit of overkill, but it was called Death by Chocolate for a reason! The second fav? A Rolo: two shots of espresso, one shot of caramel syrup, chocolate milk and chocolate whip. Yuuumy. | |

| What's your poison... Posted: 10/10/2005 8:47:03 PM | Gruurly I know exactly what you mean about people and their coffees. That "why bother" drink sounds like a drink an ex-addict has. Ya know, they just want the coffee so bad, so they get the decaf espresso so they at least get the taste. It's like the same thing with non-alcoholic beer. Blech.
Some of those frou frou girly specialty drinks can be quite deadly too. Deadly in that some of them can add up to 600-700 calories each...holy crikey! Having a Big Mac and Coke would be about par with that.
Thankfully I'm not a "caffeine addict", but once in a blue moon I'll have a double shot espresso and peppermint for a JJJJJOOOOLLLLTTTT!!!!!
Otherwise the best coffee is the "hungover at your local cafe/diner" coffee! LOL | |
|
| What's your poison... Posted: 10/10/2005 8:50:41 PM | Hungover coffee is the best
I was up to 6 xl coffees a day in school.....now I'm down to one a day..if that!
OE: the cream is where all the calories are at.....get ride of that and its not too bad. | |

|
| What's your poison... Posted: 10/11/2005 7:14:53 AM | | my coffee from tim horton's is simple. Large coffee, small cream. From five bucks errr i mean star bucks? the red eye is awesome, with a small cream again. Never sugar, something about sugar and water does'nt do it for me. | |
|
| What's your poison... Posted: 10/11/2005 8:03:04 AM | From Timmie's is usually 1/2 french vanilla half coffee
At the other coffee places a skim milk latte, double shot of espresso and a shot of vanilla.
In the winter (closer to Christmas) I LOVE the egg nog lattes at Starbuck's YUM YUM!!! | |
|
| What's your poison... Posted: 10/11/2005 8:05:26 AM | Coffee (French Dark Roast) if they have it, triple cream. *I don't live near a timmies..** but hey we make Timmies at work, even have the coffeemaker.. YUMMY
Then its Timmies with Fat Free Irish Creme stuff...
But I'm with flirty.. Egg nog lattes at Starbucks rock my socks.. well, any kind of latte, extra hot, no foam.. LOL I'm easy.

(Hope I spelled that right, big in the news a few years back, Star Bucks sued for copy right infringement, and I think they lost but brought much publicity to the West Coast start up coffee shop, every one wanted a Haida Bucks in their town.) | |
