    They've also started using a new base in their light frappuccinos. Those are my weekness....it's probably a good thing they are so pricey! :drinker:

    Am I the only one to go to Starbuck's Coffee and order coffee? No latte, no cappuccino, no flavors, no foam, no cream, no sugar... coffee! Lots of caffeine and a cup. :)

    No I also do this sometimes. However I checked the starbucks website once for their nutritional values and was shocked to see a cup of freshly brewed black coffee has like 3 calories in it where as usually its zero... so where do starbucks get the extra calories from? Not that I am that particular about 3 calories but I still find it odd.

    Here is there nutriotnal info

    Nope :)

    I like just plain coffee, too. I travel frequently for work and this is by far the easiest thing to grab and go at the airport SBux, Peet's, Caribou, Dunkin Donuts, what have you.

    I can think of a good coffee quote by Denis Leary about coffee flavored coffee but it's not PG rated for this site, haha...

    If I want a plain old cup of java, I look no further than my local kitchen. :drinker: Personally I find that Starbucks regular coffee has a mild burnt taste to it, not to mention just doesn't sit well in my tummy!! I can only handle it if I get it iced and douse it with lots of creamer!! But I'd rather not waste the almost $2 when I can brew my own. :laugh:

    I am actually a Supervisor for Starbucks and we do have many healthy choices. The Skinny Cinnamon Dulce Latte is really tasty even Sugar free! We also have strawberry and banana Smoothies. These smoothies are almost like a meal substitute and have as little as 280 calories for a Grande Size! It has Protein and Fiber in it and is REALLY good. You can even add Matcha powder to it for Green tea Nutrients!

    All of our teas are all unsweet and the Passion Tea ROCKS!! Also Remember even now all of their frappuccino's can be made with nonfat Milk and our light syrup base, and most important we got rid of all the high fructose corn syrup!! We are also coming out with some different drinks this summer so be on the lookout :wink:

    I saw someone Post about Caramel Macchiato's. This drink as well you can get nonfat and have them add sugar free Vanilla, as it is made with vanilla syrup and not caramel. you can ask for very light caramel on top or just take it off all together. I know this defeats the purpose of the Macchiato but it is healthier! :smile:
