What are you ordering at Starbucks?

Sorry to hear that, but it doesn’t give me any.

I’m allergic to all raw veggies, but I know that’s a problem limited to me and anyone else with Oral Allergy Syndrome, not an intrinsic problem with the vegetables themselves.

I think its safe to say “different strokes, for different folks” and let this issue go.

So I asked how they make their foam and it’s made from skim milk so I’m gonna order it without the foam as I don’t want sugar water in my coffee.

I confess, I was kinda worried where this post was headed when I saw this. I usually have to pay extra for those kind of posts.

That’s good to know!

Did I reply to this thread already? Maybe so.

When I go to Starbucks, I get any of the following:

  • Black coffee, other than blonde roast which I don’t care for. Large or extra-large.

  • Americano, which is espresso plus hot water. Usually the large (“grande”). Apparently expresso shots have some carbs and more calories, compared to plain coffee.

  • Sous vide egg bites. These definitely contain some carbs (9g in the bacon and gruyere version). Some days when I need a quick breakfast on the go, this is what I get. Not a frequent thing, and I take it into account when choosing other foods during the day.

I have always preferred coffee black for many decades, so that’s not a big deal for me. I used to occasionally get a flavored latte as a “treat” during holiday seasons, but none of that these days.

That’s about it. I still buy their whole bean coffees and grind them at home. I’m sure coffee aficionados will sneer at me, but I like it fine.

Ohhh, How does it taste? I need to learn to drink unsweetened tea.

Starbuck’s coffee is too expensive, when Folger’s classic blend sells for $6.79 a pound. It may be my inner Scotsman talking, but Folger’s tastes better, as far as I can tell.

Enjoy. Always nice if what you like is also less expensive.

large cold brew, black, easy on the ice. way better than their standard iced coffee. tastes like candy to me at this point

SO the last two days I’ve had gastro problems and I think its the whipped cream on my cold brew. I wasn’t getting whipped cream on it until yesterday and today and man, my stomach was not happy.

(JustGettingStarted) #176

Whipped cream like Redi Whip or heavy whipping cream?

(Ketoviking) #177

Café Verona Tall Black or Colombia tall black

(traci simpson) #178

Like what Starbucks puts in their coffee. Whipped cream vice heavy cream

(traci simpson) #179

I actually tried it again today. Cold brew with a little heavy cream and extra whip and no stomach problems. Maybe it depends on what I had the night previously. Who knows!
