What is it with those super grande extra whipped cream with full sugar coffee-flavored drinkable stuff ( basically any "coffee" with a name as long as that town in Wales) that every coffee place is selling? ( hot or frozen version)
Do you like the taste of coffee or not?
You know perfectly well , even though you won't admit it, that the amount of fat, sugar and calories contain in that ginormous tankard you need two hands to hold.
Once in a while, ok, treat yourself, but daily? Come on.
If you don't like the tast of coffee, just take "wake-up" pill. You'll have your caffein fix.
I drink my coffee black, same as i eat my chocolate. The darker the better, except for 99%, that's too much.

OK.
I'm not sure if your problem is with frequent imbibing or people's flavor choices/preferences.0 -
I don't like the taste of coffee, so when I do have it, I add stuff. I like to brew it with half Teeccino, and add sugar, milk or cream.
I'm primarily a tea drinker. Need much less sugar for tea.0 -
No problem really. Just want to know why drink that stuff and then complaining ingurgiting too much cals.
If you need caffein , take pills, drink tea ( real tea, not spiced, sugared chiai stuff), drink mate. No cals there.
Just ranting on why not doing thing plain and simple.0 -

It's tasty and there's a high enough demand for it that coffee places can make a profit selling it.Do you like the taste of coffee or not?
Not particularly. I do like the flavor of coffee added to things.You know perfectly well , even though you won't admit it, that the amount of fat, sugar and calories contain in that ginormous tankard you need two hands to hold.
I don't need two hands to hold my grande skinny hazelnut latte or my tall nonfat chai latte with no nutmeg, thanks. And I do know perfectly well the calories in each. I have no problem admitting it. Why do you believe I would?Once in a while, ok, treat yourself, but daily? Come on.
If it fits in my calories, I treat myself daily with a bit of chocolate, ice cream, or fancy coffee. Sometimes even cake! Or a cookie if I'm feeling really crazy. Why hate on daily treats?If you don't like the tast of coffee, just take "wake-up" pill. You'll have your caffein fix.
Where's the fun in that? I don't have to like the taste of black coffee to enjoy the texture of coffee with my fancy creamer in it (Vanilla Bourbon Pound Cake creamer today, yum).I drink my coffee black, same as i eat my chocolate. The darker the better, except for 99%, that's too much.
I love dark chocolate. I can't take it much past 90% though. Good for you, I guess?No problem really. Just want to know why drink that stuff and then complaining ingurgiting too much cals.

You're not really just ranting and complaining when you take your complaints to other threads though, are you? What's your fascination with making me take as few calories as possible in the mornings? I have room for my 100-120 calorie coffees. I make room for them. They're tasty and perk me up more than straight caffeine would. Dropping my calories lower in the mornings would not have that effect.

Eyes on your own plate. Or in the case, your own coffee cup.10

Or you can mind your own business and let people drink wtf they want.6

Yeah that's what i'll do
While drinking my black coffee0 -

Why so judgemental op? Drinking black coffee doesn't make you a better person than the ones not drinking black coffee6

I'll drink my coffee black when I turn 65.1

I do this exact same thing (except every a.m.) with coffee too..
But every once in a while I love good brewed flavored gourmet coffee especially with a yummy dessert.No problem really. Just want to know why drink that stuff and then complaining ingurgiting too much cals.

I never complain when it comes to coffee, creamer and sweetening. Maybe the audience you are trying to reach has not made their way to your thread yet. I dunno..0 -
I don't like coffee. I used to drink it because it became habit being in my work environment but I always had to use sweeteners and creamers, which just made me question why I was even drinking it. I do hot tea now.0

Is this the thread where we tell each other "my coffee is better than yours"?6

But I love my Grande Salted Caramel Mocha (hot, iced, and frozen).
Luckily my favorite is only available for 2 months, if that, and, yes, I do indulge a few times in that time frame. Any other time if I want to treat myself it's a Grande Skinny Mocha (hot or iced) but 99% of the time it's just my coffee from home with my Splenda and no sugar creamer.2 -
Well aren't you superior. Do you feel better now publicly judging everyone and their coffee drinks?6
-
Can I start judging people's crappy beer choices next?8

Rare steak... Mmmmm
The rarer the better but not to the point of tartare. That is an other categorie also mmmm.
You need the maillard reaction to enhance the taste.

mmm... The Salted Caramel Mocha is delicious.3 -

I hate the taste of coffee. I'll get maybe 2-3 mochas (usually skinny, so skim milk and no whipped cream) a year from Starbucks, and that's if I'm at the grocery where they don't sell my frappucino. I drink diet soda for caffeine.0

I like coffee and tea unsweetened, and dislike it with sugar so much that I can't understand how people can drink it that way -- but we all have our taste quirks and I'm sure I like stuff other people think is weird! I probably wouldn't drink coffee if I felt like I had to cover up the flavor, but then I do like coffee ice cream, and before I liked black coffee I liked coffee + milk (initially a lot of milk, back in college), so I think some who drink it that way probably do enjoy the flavor, just mixed with milk (or even sugar).
All this aside, I think the "Starbucks coffees are fru-fru" (and "what ARE those fancy coffees, just get a cuppa joe?") jokes were done to the death back in the '90s, no? I even hear it in a Seinfeld voice, although I don't recall him actually doing something like that.2 -

I used to work next to a Starbucks. I was in there twice a day. Morning and afternoon. Got at least one latte a day. Usually it was my venti quad cinnamon dolce latte. Heaven in a cup!1

I prefer my grande pumpkin spice frappicinos more than black coffee. Though it is cheaper. Everywhere sells these types of drinks because people are willing to buy them.0
