Thread: Starbucks, What do you get?

Used to get a double tall mocha and a couple chocolate chip cookies from Starbucks every Saturday. Been drinking the 3 in 1 crap since arriving in Thailand.

Yes, the 'x' in 'expresso' is important.

Spent hours here back in the 60s.

The Last Great Beatnik Cafe.

Forgot to mention out here in the sticks whenever I want a coffee I usually end up with some concoction in a clear plastic bag in front of me. Tastes like coffee. Heck if I know where it’s coming from. Some Somchai with a mobile motosai coffee business I guess.

Most of those are instant coffee. Nescafe typically from what I have seen. Usually around 25 to 30 bht.

me too, i'v bought the two teas you mix to make at home, and that way you can dial down the sugar just mix half and half and make up a batch for the fridge.

^ I picked both up in our local talat, there a small shop that does teas and coffee

I normally only have one coffee a day, made in a little drip coffee maker. Drunk black, no sugar.

When I am out (e.g. trip to the docs) I may have a second - in a Starbucks. Always black coffee of the day, and it is highly variable. Just for the coffee I would probably go elsewhere - but man, I love their chicken pies......

That's nasty, SK. I've always suspected that the 3-n-1 concoction isn't truly coffee. Passable in a real pinch.
I'm sure you realize that there are viable options quite available.
Set yourself up with a decent home brew......locally grown coffee hybrids have become delectable and much more reasonable now.

For reasonable quality, consistency, availability and price, it’s hard to beat McDonalds own brand coffee.

Before I retired, I used to get through up to 15 mugs of coffee most days.

Since I was diagnosed with hypertension, I only allow myself one mug a day, (liar).

A battered old Starbucks stainless flask mug, filled with instant Nescafé.

I have tried all kinds of machine made coffee products, but first thing in the morning, before eyes and hands are functioning properly I have to have coffee. Less spillage and fewer accidents with instant coffee and me on autopilot. Meets the need.

I was given Japanese instant coffee recently while staying with friends. It was really very good. Maybe I should just invest in a better brand of instant coffee?

Japanese stuff tends to be good, but you are equally likely to buy sakura/ girls underwear flavor 3 in 1 without realizing it

that and their weird kit kats
