Never was impressed with starbucks either. What a hassle to have to stop inside a place, order, wait, let cool for 5 years, drink... just for a beverage. Beverages are secondary and should be integrated into the routine. If you're not multitasking you do not = teh smert.
Now, those iced mocha minty flavored thingies. Gloria Jean's rocks. Not for the morning though. I only have coffee if I'm having one of those drive-off-bridge-into-harbor-while-dreaming/driving-mornings.
You drink it to wake up or prevent sleep. Taste shouldn't be factor. Coffee... ****ty filter, black.
