    I love Starbucks, the only downside is that it's pretty expensive

    The sugar comes in sachets, you can have your coffee without the sugar.

    People don't go to Starbucks for the coffee they go there for the experience.

    You haven't tried a $25 cuppa. I had it once and thank God I am not the one paying. It comes with two tiny pieces of cookie and that's it. Though you can refill as many times as you want. That would be 8 cups of Starbucks coffee, if you can handle that much caffeine.

    For coffee, i do spend much for starbuck rather than other coffee house. Already hang out at dome, coffee bean, san francisco, etc..but the feeling of starbuck's coffee can't be fading. :p

    Oh, I can handle the caffeine. :D But if I paid $25 for a cup of coffee, you can bet I would refill that cup 25 times to get my money's worth out if it! But I'd never do it anyway, since I don't like coffee.... ;)

    Bring a few friends and get your own straws. ahaha - Although coffee is way too overpriced and overrated. If you need a cup of coffee everyday there is something wrong with your body!

    Sort of like buying a pitcher of beer.

    Can we say, "stampeding Buffalo", after all that caffeine? :eek:

    4 bucks is cheap, it's over $6 hear, and the bastards (is that how it is spelled? or is it barista?) still expect a tip.
