I love coffee too, but whatever battery acid Starbucks serves isn't what I'd call coffee. That nasty stuff is only drinkable if you water it down with enough cream and sugar to hide the flavor of what they call coffee. Purchased only when its the only available caffeine, such as when traveling.
Yep.
I brew my own coffee. Years ago I used a coffee machine, but we have hard water, and every once in a while I would have to run vinegar through the machine to clean out the deposits. Then I would run fresh water through the machine a couple of times to get ride of the vinegar.
On morning I had to do this, finished cleaning the coffee machine, brewed some coffee and went to work....
Got to my desk, poured my coffee into a mug, as I was really needing the wake up, took a sip, and about spewed it over my computer and desk! VINEGAR!
I said some choice words and went to the cafeteria where they brew Starbucks coffee. Got my coffee, added a bit of cream and sugar and started to walk back to my desk. I took a sip and about spit that "coffee" on the floor. It was horrible!
I can't believe people drink this "stuff." I stopped in the bathroom and poured the "coffee" down the sink. Went back to my desk and drank my vinegar coffee because it tasted better than the Starbucks "coffee." My vinegar coffee had less acid in it that the Starbucks "coffee."
Once upon a time I brought in a coffee maker to work so we could brew our own coffee. People did not want ME to brew a pot of coffee because I made it too strong.
I am not that picky about coffee but that Starbucks stuff was horrible. I always wondered if it was a bad brew I got but other people were drinking what I threw away.
Now, I am brewing the Costco ground coffee, though I have some of the Kona bean blend that I grind every once in a while for a treat.
Later,
