[ale] totally OT: coffee

[Lightner, Jeff]

I always chide folks who talk about how coffee tastes.   We true addicts drink it for the reason God intended so the only real requirement is caffeine and plenty of it.

Starbucks annoyed me twice within a week so I make a point of avoiding their shops:
1)  Their K-cup package sold in grocery stores is exactly the same dimension as others sell but only has 10 K cups instead of 12.   While it is labeled (on only 1 side) it is not highlighted that they're ripping you off even at the higher price you pay for that package already.
2)  I went to a Starbucks and asked for a dark coffee and was told all they had was "blonde".   An organization that can make the most esoteric mixtures of swill in the universe can't make a simple cup of dark coffee on demand?

Those of us who use coffee as our exclusive source of fluids hate people like you. Work coffee (pre-measured filter packs) is already a bit stronger than I prefer and when someone uses two it is downrite nasty.
