I went to a Starbucks for the first time last week. I ordered a double chocolate chip Frappuccino and it was amazing. Can’t believe I used to hate Starbucks so much, I’ve been missing out man.

I was getting obsessed by Starbucks Matcha Lattes when I was living in Tokyo this year. But they were only £2 a pop so it was okay. I refuse to pay U.K. prices at coffee shops.

Starbucks doesn’t come cheap so that puts a damper on how often I can afford to go there. No fake pretentions over being able to afford pumpkin mochas every day with almond milk to keep the calories away from an already overstuffed beer or wine belly. We’re being real here, folks.

But the coffee’s nice. It’s just that Costa has the cosy homeliness if not the variety.

i dont visit coffee shops unless i am at an airport or similar or waiting on a train. I see a visit to these places as a time passing exercise rather than an opportunity for a fine coffee.

I have spent years trying various coffee beans at home, I now have my preferred coffee beans with a bean to cup coffee machine. A coffee shop cant compete with that
