I normally drink tea instead of coffee. I picked up tea drinking while I was in college because tea was fast, easy, tasted good, and best of all it is dirt cheap.


I made my cup of coffee in about 5 minutes. And half of that time involved cleaning. And the bag of espresso beans I'm using costs comparably to tea, considering the amount it makes. Plus the coffee tastes a shitload better.

Blurg. I'm normally very "at rest" when not specifically doing something (I don't drum my fingers etc. except when thinking heavily) but I just realised I've been curling and uncurling my toes quickly for the last 10 minutes.

Have I called it Super Tea? I hope I haven't (and if I have, I wish I hadn't)... that's an extremely uncool name. Still, tea is not Tea if you haven't brewed it for at least half an hour...

Starbucks coffee is swill. I don't understand why anyone would pay $3.00 for a cup of that ****. I'd rather pay half that and get Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Even the street vendors here sell better coffee than Starbucks.

Hear about the latest crap they're trying? They're selling what basically amount to milkshakes, calling them frappuchinos, and selling them at a rediculously high price considering what they are (cream + ice + syrup).

there are better ones made (probably because the coffee used is better), but that does not stop them from making good ones

Starbucks mochas, etc. are crappy (relative to any decent coffee place). But it's so damn convenient since they've got that Barnes & Nobles deal going, so I get it far too often. Barnes & Nobles is the real draw for Starbucks.

I don't go to Starbucks either because there is a really good mom & pop coffee shop/ bakery right down the street from me that has great coffee and tea. They also make old-fashioned Italian sodas.

If you come to Austin, I can guarantee you that you won't find a better cup of coffee than at a place called "Texpresso" .

The only national coffee chain I know of is Starbucks...

Yep, I live right next to one myself. And go to school right next to a couple of them. Luckily there's vastly better coffee available in both areas.

Actually, I hadn't thought of any sexual connotation at all. So you're the pervert, obviously!

The nuances of English are such that if you're not careful with word order, you can say something you didn't mean. The way you phrased it could imply that it would be more appropriate to call it Greek because it is bad.
