for a $6 cup of bad coffee. I see so many young people with a serious weight problem with Starbucks drinks. I guess they don't know
that so called coffee is loaded with several hundred calories and several grams of fat.

It is beyond imagination that people have butchered such a great traditional cup of Joe. or just plain ol coffee in a demitasse or American size.
I like the real thing, poured over coffee grounds with a dash of some kind of cream or milk or alternative milk. It always gives me better coping mechanisms..

Coffee has always had additives like spice and sugar. Cream/milk is fucking awful though.

and it is all for the most part sugary additives with intriguing names. You know, Starbucks specials that come in the large cups, sometimes see-thru plastic to go cups displaying the colorful concoction inside. Mostly made for show with fancy names and jacked up prices. Starbucks is not the only one, most coffee shops have joined the bandwagon for the menagerie of altered unrecognizable coffee.
