I always get the mocha latte. Coffee with the flavor of unsweetened chocolate is heaven.

I do enjoy a good caramel mochioto (sp?) every now and then, myself.

Vanilla Strawberry Latte, I think it was.

Pure bliss.

Standard cappucino goes down well, like battery acid at 6:00 in the morning.  I never knew what 6:00 looked like till this semester...

Go buy a fresh Mcdonalds coffee and pour it into their laps.

See if they laugh at you then.

You uncivilised wretches need to be educated. By God, if the empire still existed I'd invade your uncouth "star - bucks" and make you all drink tea.

Bloody foreign drinks.

Any of the mochas FTW.

Any of the capuccinos work too for those late-night study sessions (or for getting on everyone's nerves the next day).

Both.

China traded tea with the British, who then later set up tea plantations in India.

I usually get green tea. Because I'm too lazy to boil water in the morning to make my own. I just don't like tea from the microwave...I probably couldn't really tell the difference, but you do notice it when one sip is scalding and the next is luke-warm.

India was part of the Empire.  Hence India is British.  At least, if you believe SuperBonusLowPriceCalls'* phone salespeople.

Yeah, I have friends who just can't wake up until they've had their fix. It's 11am at uni and they're still asleep in the lecture theatre. The second the caffeine hits their bloodstream they're okay, though. :p

Hm.  Perhaps our respective ironies collided in mid-flight.

Considering that you mentioned the empire I figured you lived in Northern Ireland :nervous:

EDIT: Actually if the empire was at its pre-1900 level Maeg would be in it. :)

Gevalia Papua New Guinea - that's pretty good stuff.  Though, before they stopped sending it here, the way cheaper Nescafe French Roast was uber.  Best damn coffee I've ever had, and it was at least two dollars cheaper than any of the bitter-as-hell starbucks coffee I could get in the store.

Starbucks failed miserably here in Israel. The local nation-wide coffee chains (Aroma, Cafe Hillel, and the Coffee Shop) whooped it's arse. :D

That said, it just hit me upside the head the other day... Starbucks.... Starbuck.... :nervous:

Personally, I'm very partial to a Chai Latte at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. :)

Just went to a Starbucks for the first time the other day as well.

Everyone around seemed to be very ammused that I didn't know what a Latte was... and started asking questions about the various drinks they had listed.

Being of Indian de(s)cent (*dies of laughter*), I'm partial to Tea as well (especially the heavily spiced Indian Tea aka Chai), but coffee does have its perks...
