Happy hour
I hummed the melody, which is "I love coffee and I love tea. I love the java jive and it loves me Coffee and tea, and the java and me ..." That is one of the my favorite songs, but I can't memorize the whole lyrics.. Everyday I drink coffee at least two cups on a regular bases. In the morning I always drink cafe latte, adding extra sugar or syrup, and after lunch I drink americano. Without coffee, my day can not get started. Several days ago, I found STARBUCKS promotion (May 1~May 10. 3pm~5PM.Half price Frappuccino ).Even though I am not a STARBUCKS lover ( I prefer Peet's coffee), it's the time. I drove to the starbucks and grasp it quickly. Wow.. I got brain freeze. Dizzy. Nevertheless, I will drink coffee tomorrow.

We are two! For every day coffee, I prefer Peets. I have come to believe that Starbucks is the McDonalds of coffee!
ReplyDeleteSince you are in SOuth Pasadena, try Mrs. Jones on Raymond. You will loovveee their coffee and the place. Really cool. Try it!
Good strong coffee is one of my loves. Peets is definitely one of my favorites. I also really like Urth coffee, although the café is always packed. I usually get their Manhattan Mud (the title pretty much gives you an idea of how strong-flavored it is). Another favorite is Bitches Brew (that is really the name!) from Groundwork Coffee. And Vietnamese coffee. What a treat! That is like a dessert, very strong and mixed with condensed milk.
ReplyDeleteI prefer making coffee at home. The problem with Starbucks is that the combination of beans they use in the machine is a mixture of different blends. To really appreciate good coffee, you need to first establish your own taste (dark blend in my case). No matter using a professional espresso maker, or a really traditional pot, the coffee I make fits my taste.
ReplyDeleteI do not think that I would be able to function well without having my coffee. I usually have 2 cups of coffee in the morning and another two cups in the afternoon. I must admit that I rarely purchase coffee from Starbucks. I rather prepare it at home. I realize that it would be too expensive for me to buy four cup of coffee everyday. However, during summer I get a Frappuccino from Starbucks. Enjoy your coffee.
