I like stopping at Starbuck-o's to order a cup of Caffeine... they always laugh... I like sitting outside watching people. It is amazing how much money goes thru the place! Somebody hit a goldmind with Starbuckies fer sure. |

I think the statement was just two or three hours in the saddle. Or did I miss something? |

The retired folks streamed in and it was a real senior coffee Kutch. Neat. I compliment McDonalds for offering discounts like this to seniors and providing a nice environment for them to enjoy time together. |

So, I got an espresso machine, a Rancilio Silvia. It rocks. You might think $400 or so is a lot to spend on a espresso machine or coffee maker, but it's a bargain compared to a trip down to Starbucks 3-4 days a week. Plus, no lines. Straight espresso, Americanos, lattes, hot chocolate. On demand. Plus, I've found some damn good beans from home roasters like this guy. Not cheap, but it's a nice departure from the carbonized, overroasted Starbucks beans at the grocery store. Try the Code Brown there. It's what espresso should be. http://www.coffeegeek.com/images/562...iliosilvia.jpg |

I've been called obtuse...but I'm too dull and slow to know what that means. |
Latte sounds great. My last big ride was North Conway Nh to Falmouth Me. 66 miles.

Coffee shops are rest stops for many of our club rides, but when I ride in to work I don't drink coffee until I get there. It would be interesting to drink some while enroute, though.
If you want to give a Starbucks employee in my area that "deer in the headlights look", buy a plastic bottle of water from them, refill your water bottle, then ask them where the recycling container is for plastic bottles. ;) |
nah i'd just go fill my water bottle in the bathroom and walk out richer...

The coffee at work sucks soo bad, that yes I do stop at Starbucks before I go to work. If I am early enough I just sit there at Station Square looking out at the Monongaheala River. Mostly though I do the one-handed slow ride for about a mile and a half. Then I have a 1 mile 380 foot climb. That really gets the heart going. Since I have been commuting by bike my coffee consumption has gone down to a single or double tall Cap per day.

What, are we meshing with the Coffeegeek site now? Flacking Rancilio. Everyone knows E-61 is the way to go. (Shut up, you double-boiler freaks).
