I have 1/4 cup of extremely high quality 70% dark chocolate in the am, and one in the afternoon. I get it from http://www.chocosphere.com/ because, no slight intended, it is *very* hard to find this kind of drink in cafes. The test? Simple: Do they a) start with great chocolate, b) do they melt chunks (or shavings) into hot milk, c) is it so thick you think you’re drinking a chocolate bar, and d) do you get a strong sense of well-being?

Yum!!

When the milk is steamed it caramelizes just a little to make it slightly sweet. My first is full caf, then I go to decaf. Later in the day I’ll have black tea-a huge mug with lots of milk, no sugar.

I work at Starbucks, so I get the drinks for free when I’m working. If I’m not working and feeling cheap, I’ll go with a Coffee Misto with the bold coffee.

BTW the difference between a Grande and a Venti Latte is just milk, they have the same number of shots.

I do have to laugh at all of the fancy drinks and the sugar free Mocha is awful. I respect the customers who go for a solo or doppio espresso, macchiato or con panna.

My latest treat is a Hot Chocolate with half the pumps of Mocha and the same number of pumps Gingerbread (and no whipped cream). It tastes more like Mexican hot chocolate.

You’re right about the wi-fi. Maybe they will come to their senses and offer free wi-fi some day.

But since I’m planning to get healthier this year, I’m planning to gradually decrease my coffee drink consumption and be a tea convert, if I can. :-)

They suggested it when I asked and have had it as a regular ever since.
As soon as I walk in the door they start making it for me.
they’re great! (www.bigreda.com)

If I’m at Coffee Cat, it’s a double. If I’m at home, it’s a fresh ground large cup of something smokey like Ethiopian or Sumatra with a dash of half and half. Afternoons and evenings it’s generally Twinings Earl Grey. Change-ups include Mexican or Italian Hot Chocolate or hot, milky Chai.
