Starbucks Coffee When You're Away From Home

You have perhaps tried almost every single type of coffee there is out there in the market, especially if you are a coffee lover like me. When I am at home I grind my own coffee, but when I go out I want to make sure there is some place I can go to get a good cup.

Though I think that Starbucks coffee is somewhat overrated, and I hate the yuppie-like ordering techniques some use while there, I do like that it is decent and that I can find it almost anywhere I go.

When I book a hotel, I often feel like I have gotten a bonus when there is a Starbucks coffee right there in the lobby. Not all hotels have this, of course, but if you can find it, it’s a great thing to have.

I drink a lot of coffee, and you can only sit around in the hotel restaurant for so long before they tell you that it is time to give up your seat for someone else. This is when Starbucks coffee, as overrated as it is, comes in handy. I know I can walk in and buy a cup when I need one, even though I know I am being ripped off. Sometimes, you just have to bite the bullet.

When I walk in and buy Starbucks coffee, I ask for a large. This has thrown many Starbucks employees. Apparently, I should be calling it a ‘tall’ or something else equally annoying. I’m all for a little pretension here and there, but I find some of the people that buy Starbucks coffee to be a little too much.

What happened to small and large? Why can’t you just ask for a latte with skim milk instead of using some foreign language. Perhaps that is all part of some coffee house culture that I don’t understand. They seem to figure out what ‘large’ is, however, and I walk away happy.

Now you can get Starbucks coffee at your local grocery store. I was so happy to have found it in my store and I was glad to see you can but it in whole bean form. At first I thought it was a little expensive, but when I ground it when I got home, it was worth it.

Well, maybe I am just so easy to please when it comes to coffee. Probably! The most important thing is I know that if I am away from home, there is always Starbucks coffee to make me feel at home drinking my coffee.
