What’s your flava?
It was January 2007, I had my first Starbucks (read more here). Soon after I started making regular trips to the Starbucks in Aachen as we didn’t have Starbucks in the Netherlands. Now that we have several Starbucks shops in the Netherlands, I try to get my fix a few times a month (still keeping it reasonable!). I do have to be honest, my drink is not really a coffee, well its main ingredient is still coffee but all the extras turn it into what most friends refer to as “children’s coffee”. Fact is, I just don’t like coffee without any extras, same as with tea, I think it tastes horrible so I have to add some sweetness to it. I guess I made you a bit curious to what all those extras are, so behold, my favorite Starbucks drink:
Grande White Caffe Mocha, with vanilla or raspberry syrup and extra(!) whipped cream!
So my question to you now is; What’s your flava? Any particular choice you have which you need to have each day or are just working your way through all the choices Starbucks offers? Maybe I will try your suggestion and let you know what I think about it.
For the people who keep on saying that Starbucks is no coffee, I completely agree with you. It is an experience, not just coffee. And whenever you have a cup that is not to your liking, pick some different extras the next time, the choice is up to you!
