Straight espresso or black coffee

black dark roast

As an ex Starbucks worker, a French press of the yirgacheffe was my daily drink. Either that or pulled espresso shots through ice.

>>10367999
>>10368000

>>10368006
2 pump mango, 2 pump peach, green tea, no water. Both are seasonal flavors and most people are out of either one or the other at this point.

>>10368006
for hot tea I always make 1 bag mint majesty, 1 bag peach, half hot water half steamed lemonade with a honey, bretty good.

cold brew

>>10367990
I get venti iced coffee either flavored with vanilla or just black - its $2.95 and wakes your ass up. Highly recommend

>>10367990
Usually a quad vanilla latte with a pump of peppermint

Guy did heroin in our bathroom a few months ago, passed out and bled all over the place. Made new guy clean it up :)

>>10367990
black espresso
water
breakfast tea

>>10367990
starbucks employees are anoying piece of shit!
Fuck i just want an ice coffee without without milk wtf is the problem??

>>10367990
as a fellow starbucks employee the correct answer is no starbucks at all

but if I had to choose, black coffee/iced coffee/cold brew/espresso
all black

>tfw like pumpkin spice lattes

no one must no my secret

why not just brew your own coffee?
that way you can have it exactly how you want it and you'll save a lot of cash

>>10368095

Got to get that tower of liquid caffeine.

>>10368137
Well, of course. Only an idiot would buy Starbucks daily

Tbh (to be honest) only an idiot would drink coffee every day too

>>10368144
>only an idiot would drink coffee every day too
y tho

I brew a thermos for work everyday, keeps you warm and energized trough out the day

>>10368137
most people can't drop $300+ on a somewhat decent espresso machine. And I do make my own coffee, it's just sometimes I want espresso drinks and for that I go to a coffee place, usually not starbucks though, but if a starbucks is close or on my way somewhere I'll hit it up.

Coffee stains your teeth, you get headaches when you stop using caffeine, your body gets used to caffeine as a facilitator for body processes aka you'll have trouble shitting when you stop, and if you're putting creamer or milk + sugar in it to make it taste better it's basically 100% unnecessary calories

Just be honest with yourself about being addicted to caffeine - start drinking half a liter of water the second you wake up - after a week of that try making your usual coffee and drink it first thing in the morning and see how sick it makes you

>>10368144

My hospital now has a Starbucks, the alternative is pretty much powdered shit from a vending machine.

Just avoid the milky drinks at SB.

>>10368171

Coffee and caffeine protects from cardiovascular events and diabetes,
It makes you more alert and perform better.

Coffee is the best legal drug.

>>10367990
yo anon, does it piss you off when i ask for a medium instead of vente or whatever the fuck it is at starbucks?

>>10368092

Ask for a black iced coffee no sweetener. We're not mind readers.

Those are some really steep claims

Can I get some reputable citations? All I've heard is the opposite

Caffeine would elevate your heart rate, and if you were hopped up on caffeine and got mad it would exacerbate your raised blood pressure

I work medical, but please feel free to enlighten me on your claims

>>10368206
Nope, I personally don't care. But it is fun to watch people struggle.

>>10368171
>coffee stains your teeth
you can always brush them doofus
>you get headaches when you stop using caffeine, your body gets used to caffeine as a facilitator for body processes
I've been on and off drinking coffee daily and abstaining for weeks before, at the beginning there was a notable difference when I'd stop drinking it daily but now I can go days without drinking it and I'll be fine.

>after a week of that try making your usual coffee and drink it first thing in the morning and see how sick it makes you
You're not supposed to drink coffee immediately when you wake up, it's too acidic. I always drink a big mason jar thing of water when I get up, eat breakfast, shower, then maybe an hour after the process of waking up, I drink coffee. No issues.

>>10367990
God I hated working at starbucks in socal. every fucking mexican that comes in: i geeeeetttt... benti... blender... caramello.. cappuccinooo... extra caramello

>>10368186
caffeine increases heart rate unnaturally and can mess with your insulin.

the only possible health benefit of coffee is that it can be neuroprotective.

confirmed for insecure and a pussy, literally no one cares but you fags what kind of food you eat with coffee or what you put in it. The only ones that do are pseudo-masculine faggots who read mens digest style magazines and probably fantasize about riding cafe racers and working on cars.

Lel idiot.

Where are my cafe au lait bros at?

Except Starbucks doesn't even have it on their menu. They call it "misto" or some shit, and you have to feel like a faggot for ordering it, since it's on their "secret menu."

>>10368805
did you even read the results? ag

>>10367990
Flat White all day.

>>10368807
I dont believe mistos are a secret menu item tbh as theyre very common. An actual 'secret menu' durrrr item would be like a fruity pebble frap or some shit which actually DOES make u a cunt for asking for an item your barista most likely doesnt even know exists and then holding up the other drinks and etc etc

>>10369404
>I dont believe mistos are a secret menu item tbh as theyre very common.
Oh, I thought they were "muh secret item" because they usually don't actually appear on the board above. Also, once, when I ordered one, I had barista tell me "wow, so savvy - you know the secret menu!"

Goddamnit, why does Starbucks even give such a dumb name to such a common, easy-to-make drink?

dirty chai with skim milk or vanilla latte with skim milk,, mmmmmmmm

Iced Americano, black
(or at least flavored but with no cream so it looks black)

>>10369953
>>10368976
What's the appeal of Americano? Why not just drink a nice drip coffee instead of literally just watering down espresso?

>>10367997
if im at home i drink it black but if i'm gonna go out and waste my money on starbucks i want something that tastes good

why on earth would you bother spending money on starbucks coffee if you're just gonna be boring about it? why suck all the enjoyment out of your life in order to look /fa/?

The one you like the most...

>>10370006
This. If I want espresso, I'll make it myself with >>10368785, and it tastes infinitely better than Starbucks.

If I go to Starbucks, I usually get dark roast coffee with room for milk, or maybe cafe au lait ("misto").

>used to love Starbucks Iced coffee.
>they switched the coffee that they used to make it
>they started making it in small batches
it tastes like they use used cigarette butts instead of coffee beans to brew it

>>10370003
IMO diluted espresso tastes better, plus regular Starbucks coffee tastes like utter ass.

>>10370051
Now that's /fa/
If this is just starbucks advertisement you're doin it right guys.

ITT Americans show their lack of knowledge on what an espresso is.

Btw, Starbucks is like drinking toilet water and that kettle used to make coffee is literally nigger tier.

>>10367990
free cup of water

>>10370055
But, I honestly think Starbucks espresso is the worst I've ever had.

It's like all that burnt taste just rubs off the beans in concentrated form. Dilute it with water? It's still bad.

The coffee is at least passable with milk.

tall blonde roast

tall cold brew

giant iced coffee, black/unsweetened.

>>10367997
Wrong answer, that's the most /fa/ drink to order at an actual coffeeshop.

If you've somehow decided to voluntarily go to a Starbucks - a fast food breakfast and lunch joint, basically - you might as well get something they actually do well. Sure, Frappuccino are ridiculous and obscene, but 1) welcome to late capitalism, if you can't walk out the door out of self respect you might as well enjoy your stay, and 2) never forget George Howell invented them and sold the rgihts to Starbucks when they were smaller. Same with the Jeff Koons spins on the latte.

Exception, I guess, for the stores with Reserve programs and Clover machines, but still. You probably have better options.

Finally, if for some reason you have no other recourse for a place to camp out on Wifi: Starbucks has a policy not to kick you out of you don't buy anything, and they have to give you free ice water if you ask. And if you need some coffee while there: fine, go ahead, you're only hurting yourself.

>>10368171
But not medically, gosh. Unless you have a heart condition or need to avoid stimulants for some brain-related reason, caffeine is good for you in every way.

Caring about addiction separate from health effects is stupid. Especially a caffeine addiction - you're clear of it in three days. The second day is the worst.

And coffee stained teeth are /fa/, sorry.

>>10368208
>Ask for a black iced coffee no sweetener. We're not mind readers.

You have to realize how stupid this is?

>>10368785
The most /fa/ espresso you can get is making it yourself with a Kees van der Western Mirage Idrocompresso. (The Speedster looks nicer, but it's not manual, so it's less /fa/, duh.)

Moka pot coffee is good, but it's not proper espresso.

>>10370068
>Starbucks espresso is the worst I've ever had
It's pretty far down the ladder. Got a little better when they when automatic, as most "baristas" IME couldn't pull a proper shot to save their lives. One place in LA makes good espresso and you have to wade through hordes of people named "Chas" and "Tate" to get it.

>>10367990
i always get a black coffee
lately been getting the coldbrew black

I get a small cafe mocha with a double shot if I'm feeling zonked.

>>10367999
Dark roast is disgusting. Stop.

Espresso roasted coffee should be what a lot of people call a "medium" roast, but it's not that simple.

My personal favourite drink is espresso. Fully extracted, balanced, properly specialty roasted espresso.
I'm a big fan of washed process coffees for the clarity and acidity quality but a natural process or semi-washed can be really great.
Pour-overs are another of my favourite. Natural process filters are really fun to play around with.

cappuccinos, cafe lattes, flat white, etc shouldn't exist. If one of them should exist it should be the flat white.
Coffee shops should offer espresso, long black and milk-based (maybe piccolo and macchiato too".
Milk-based should be served on either a seasonal blend or a house blend through a predetermined amount of textured milk (depending on how the coffee is roasted and what brew formula is used, generally around 115g-130g), textured to no hotter than 60 degrees Celsius (140f). Black coffees should be served on a single origin with the selection of washed, semi-washed, honey, and natural processes.
Filter coffee should be offered in the form of pour-over and cold immersion brew.

Also ristretto shots are considered bad in the specialty coffee world. Specialty coffee is roasted for a flavor profile only achieved in a fully extracted espresso.

To answer OP's question, it cannot be /fa/ to drink Starbucks coffee.

>>10368152
you're on a fashion forum
to drop 300 on something that's actually remotely functional shouldn't be a problem

>>10370351
I know what espresso is. It's a form of brewing. Using a stove-top percolator is not espresso brewing.

>>10370385
I'm going to assume you are >>10370335 . If so, I was agreeing with you. I thought it was obvious. If you are the other guy, I am confused.

Oh right. Yes that is me. I assumed since you tagged my comment that you were addressing me.

>>10370520
I was. I know it's 4chan and everything, but someone can address you and agree with you at the same time. Don't get used to it, however.

It's low one if their missions in life is to get diabetes. I'd have fat Mexican kids coming in every day to get those or a Gelato shake. It's so expensive and they just kept getting fatter.

I went in a Starbucks for the first time the other week and holy moly how can people like those frozen pieces of shit is beyond me.
I mean I knew already it wasn't supposed to taste even remotely like coffee but it wasn't even a good iced drink. I seriously can't understand all the hype

>>10371871

They have more than iced drinks, you fucking idiot.

Their hot vanilla lattes are great.

>>10371530
Did not read that. However as a Mexican me self, a lot of carbs is what we ate. Fuckin' beans, tortillas, rice, bread etc....

Half water, half in-brand "Very Berry Hibiscus" juice, and a few scoops of blackberries.

I get the feeling they water down my chai latte when I get on their nerves for whatever tiny reason drives cashiers and food/drink servers insane. How do I get a better chai latte?

The go-to used to be a dirty-chai, but once you get used to black coffee, there really is no turning back.

>>10368139
We're talking about starbucks here.

You use words like "I'd like a large coffee please" and their puny brains go "ERROR 404 DOES NOT COMPUTE SYNTAX ERROR"

The only answer is caramel apple spice. It has this feel during the winter that encompasses everything that is effay. It's not really even on the menu though. No one knows about it.
