My choices were tall, El Capitan, and El Presidente. Now how in the hell was anyone supposed to order an El Presidente sized coffee with a straight face




That's the coolest thing I've ever heard! That would be great for something Margarita or beer sizes. I mean don't get me wrong... they shouldn't be pushing their own sizing names, most coffee is either single/double, small/medium, or tall/grande and that's already too much. And if they are forcing you to speak their coffee shop lingo then what will they try to get away with? Next it will be disney land where they have their own currency (a mocha will cost 100 capitan dollars), then pretty soon they will have their own seat in the UN...



We have one of those Nordstrom with a coffee shop the next town over. Maybe on my day off I will pay homage to this great discovery and march down to the place and proudly exclaim "May I have a Presidente Latte!?"

Oh tea will do just fine... That big box of Tetley's that you and Glyn picked up in California is history. I raised a teacup every morning in honor of the road trip crew... until the tea was all gone.

We have over 30 tea's at my work, really it's the only place you will find more thank froofy herbals and basic ones and that stuff is great. The company gives us a free half pound of coffee a week or a fairly good sized tin and since I already have enough coffee, I've been drinking that stuff daily, good change now and then.



After drinking coffee since I was literally about 11, I started having tea and felt buzzed out of my mind, the caffeine works differently so my body was going WTF?!

When stash and I were first together we had 2 roommates who worked at Starbucks. Not only were we never short of coffee, we were never short of nitrogen cannisters. Whippets and coffee - weeeeeeeeee!!!

Theres a new shop called T2 in australia and it has around 50 teas I think.



My work has high tea. They have had it there for over 120 years. You get the stand with the scones on top, French pastries in the middle and finger sandwiches on the bottom..... So very british

Everytime I've ever tried to eat a scone it felt like I was chewing a chunk of desert soil.

I don't think I've ever seen you eat a scone. It's the sort of thing I notice.

I used to eat scones every Friday actually when I worked at the record store. I'd hop over to the Coffee Bean in the morning before I'd do the deposits and get a scone and some Earl Gray tea with cream and sugar. Serious piehole stuffage. It was my Friday thing.



But nowadays, no if hardly ever. Once in a blue moon I treat myself to something starchy and buttery and sugary like that, but it's a rarity.
