I love Starbucks coffee! Nothing starts my morning better than a good cup of Starbucks coffee. Unfortunately, with the price being what it is and trying to work the Total Money Makeover stuff, Starbucks visits are not a regular thing. The closest thing to a regular cup of Starbucks other than what I make at home (which is really pretty good) is on Sunday mornings and occasionally Thursday mornings when I have to head in extra early.
However, nothing ruins a great cup of coffee than a mouthful of coffee grounds when you get to the bottom. I can't stand that. To go from pure delight to pure disgust in one mouthful is such a let down. I am able to keep them out of my home coffee, why can't those who do it professionally keep it out?
On a side note, at bible study on Wed. night, I had an Americana, at least I think that is what she called it. It is espresso mixed with hot water that simulates coffee, but has a subtly different taste. I have to say, I liked it a lot. Might become a regular!

I think it is technically called an "Americano". When Americans visiting Italy found straight espresso too strong, they dumped the shots in water -- hence the name. At least that's the way I've heard it.
Hey John,
Thanks for the comment and the correction. Karen mentioned your note last night at bible study and I read the sign which does say Americano. All I know is that I like it.
