  since you’re going to pedant, pedant correctly. they don’t get coffee in their milkshake, they get espresso. when they get coffee, they get a splash of milk.

    No, I am talking about Starbucks drinks, Frappucinos, which are basically milkshakes, that have vague hints of actual coffee in them, where the majority of the ‘coffee’ flavor somes from flavored syrups or chips or powders of some kind.

    Those are far, far more commonly imbibed in the US, compared to the rest of the world, than the more traditional coffee with a splash of something, or a dirty ‘whatever’ via adding an espresso shot, a traditional latte, etc.

        Well, then I’m glad that you have better taste and more general concern for your health than a great deal of modern US ‘coffee’ enjoyers.

        Really, a frappucino everyday is… quite a lot of sugar… not good for you, and I’ve known a lot of people who are basically addicted to things.

        … I think my favorite actual, proper, caffinated drinks are a dirty chai latte, and a dirty london fog.

        I’ve also found that a tiny dab of actual, real butter, into a cup of fairly dark coffee, and then maybe a splash of milk… that seems to be how I like to take my coffee.

        You?
