A cup of coffee....

Every morning, we go to the same routine in the office in which one of us will make the regular coffee and the flavor coffee.  The office is hooked on the Columbian Beans as some of us are into the flavor coffee such as Hazelnut, French Vanilla and so on in which rarely it ever finishes in the morning. 

This morning is different.  I made the flavor coffee and printed a label of Starbucks and taped it to the pot of the regular flavor coffee that they all drink each morning.  Wow, what a response from the office and the field personnels that came in just to have the coffee and the news spread out back as the pot of coffee were gone in minutes. 

I let my co-worker in the switch and how we are so cultured as we crave for the name rather than the taste of the coffee.  Just to show how powerful Starbucks has a hold on us, the switch in label from flavor coffee to Starbucks has the consumer thinking it is better than just a regular cup of Joe.  They say, it taste better than the regular flavor coffee we usually make. 

HAHAHAHAH!  I guess I'll have another Starbucks.  :-)  I had to share this with you all.

That's funny I've hadSstarbucks crappy box of coffee that is nasty! Like I told some people pinch'n pennies: Winco has damn good flavored coffe! Startbucks haha I guess if you're too lazy to  have a coffee pot or  do like you do, make it at work.

Starbucks is a way of saying" I'm too damn busy to make it at home, or the office! haha ok I do indulge once in a  while,..I too am sometimes in a big damn hurry and feel self important too!

That's funny.  I don't personlly like Starbuck's, but well remember when coffee was free with your meal, or was from 5 to 25 cents a cup, with free refills.  The tip, at Tiny's on the corner of 18th and Chester, was more than the bill for coffee.  Old guys remember old stuff.

PS  Who is Winco???   When we are in Santa Barbara we do like to get some Peet's coffee.

I think he means Winco foods?

I order my coffee from bocajava.com - I'm addicted to the stuff, have a grinder to grind fresh beans thick enough to work in my perculator which produces a cup of coffee that's dark and thick.  YUM!

I do the grind too whatever setting or cup i want! :D, I have a espresso machine if I'm so inclined. I like the cinnamon hazelnut  and also the Cherry bomb I think it's called, mmm smells so damn good! ANd i remember when coffee was maybe a quarter and yes free with dinner.
