Trenta?? How much coffee do people need?
I just read this and I don't know what to say. Are there really people out there that said to themselves 1 Venti is just not enough? I need 31 ounces of coffee?!!

I spend too many hours a day sitting in Sbux studying. But when they did have the trenta I actually never saw anybody get an iced coffee. In fact, most people dont even get coffee. Just fatasses getting caramel blah blah blah blah with extra fucken whipcream and sprinkles.

If you're going to french press you need.... a) good beans b) fresh grind c) Coarse, even grind d) Proper temperature water so you dont burn the beans |

No no. I would bet money most customers wouldn't even know what a cappuccino or late is. It needs to be a machiato. What the fuck is a machiato you ask? I dont know. According to literature its somewhere between a bigmac and milkshake.
Starbucks success has nothing to do with their coffee. Somebody ship me some intelligentsia, NOW. |

I used to a great roaster near my house in NY along with a couple shops that carried most of the "top" roasters. Out here its dismal when it comes to coffee. I feel like its just not worth it to spend $20+ a pound to have it shipped to me. Which is sad. I've got a MDX grinder and La Pavoni Pro sitting on the counter collecting dust at the moment. |

I know what you mean about needing some proper coffee though. When I was in LA I'd frequently drive from the west side to the Silverlake intelligentsia (pretty good haul) to get some coffee on a Saturday mornings. Once I got there, I'd have to fight for parking and then wait in line for 20 minutes before I could order, but it was always worth it. |

Good coffee is worth a little extra work. Most people have never had it and dont understand it. When you can have a shitty palate and still pick out fruit undertones chocolate hues, you've found your place. |
