Starbucks has awful choice for tea as well. The only option I saw when I went in there once was "Tea". No specifics.

Meanwhile...I'm the Canadian here and Starbucks, overall, for me isn't bad. Except for one night I had grinds which they easily fixed and it was fine. Maybe it's because as someone who worked at Tim's for a long time I have lower standards, idk.

Like buying a white box with black letters that says, "Milk" on it. No specifics, no labels, no details whatsoever, just "milk". Epic.

I'm not sure how Starbucks differs in Canada compared to the US if at all, and it also could be a location thing, but I was not impressed by any of the Starbucks locations around here I've tried. But then I've also bought some of their coffee for my Keurig to try it out, and I've had way better in that regard too. So I dunno, they're just overrated to me.

Faron got me to liking coffee with a little bit of Espresso in it.... a little bit goes a long way

Espresso is good, and so are espresso blends. One of the best cups of coffee I've ever had was a cup of Marley Coffee Lively Up espresso roast.

About to have coffee number two and it isn't even noon today. :/

My Friend got me to liking Coffee. Im 25 and I've never had coffee before. He made me some of his Espresso couple mths ago, And That didnt quite go soo well. I had 3-4 shots espresso just in drinking two cups. That much caffine plus drinking a half can if Sprite wasnt good for me cause I was shaking like a leaf on a windy day. Drank about 4-5 bottles of water before I began to calm down

Coffee man mainly (regular black with a bit of milk, but I don't say no to a latte when out at a cafe) but I try to limit how much I drink to about 3-4 cups a day. So I've tried moving over to tea in the afternoon (mainly lemon or vanilla).

I have a bean grinder but haven't used it in a while. Would like a bigger so I could grind up more in one go. At the moment if I want to grind up a pack of beans I better schedule about 40 minutes to work through the entire pack.

We have a coffee machine here, bean grinder, tea bags, so we're set. I usually limit myself to three coffee a day. Sometimes I have herbal tea so I don't count that.

However, Even then there are two Tim Horton's within walking distance from my apartment and PLENTY of places to get coffee and tea on Campus for University. Let me see, a Tim's, a place that sells Reciever's coffee, Van Houtte in the Library along with David's Tea, a place in the new engineering building, Subway has coffee...there is a coffee place across the street, a Starbucks within walking distance (or bus, depending on how lazy). Oh god, now I see why I got addicted to easy!

The only coffee I like is the kind of coffee that is more sugar and cream/flavoring than coffee. :bayley:

Just had 3 coffees today and a Latte, they all did nothing and I have a big headache...

Honey Lemon tea I stepped with the cover on while walking home and taking a shower. Extra strong, extra relaxation...
