Default Starbucks drinkers?

Starbucks is a luxury item, I have it once a month (if at that)
Didn't know they had a "secret" menu (duh? secret?)

But this is pretty cool:

There is a short size? I hated getting the tall size and having to throw out the bottom half

I dont really drink Starbucks, but when I do, I get a soy latte or iced coffee.

I try to avoid Starbucks...their coffee is over roasted and they've got everyone believing that it's good coffee.

I drink it once in a blue moon, as Al said they over roast their beans and charge way too much for the crap...besides we have like 6 local roasters here in town, Starbucks can't get a foothold here to save their lives :rofl:

The girl drinks it. I've never had anything but homebrewed coffee...I just drink it when I need it.

Link won't work for me. :thinking:

Thank you

I have long contended that starbucks tastes like shit but people seem to think it's the best coffee ever.

Dead on.

There are a couple private shops around here that are good though.
