Your Dog Lead thread and now this First world problem (that doesn't exist).
Are you on a broken Britain mission?
To echo what others have said, most cars have cup holders and people don't speed away with piping hot coffee in their hands.
Clearly a wind up.
I now have a mental image of the OP being traumatised by an incident involving an unleashed dog jumping into a car and hurtling off down the road whilst slurping piping hot coffee and flicking ****-ends out of the window!
What about tea, Im sick of this coffee culture, theres often no where to find a nice cup of tea if you dont actually want to stop anywhere but a petrol station.
I love a Frappucino from Starbucks, I love their flavoured hot chocolates and some of their flavoured concoctions involving coffee... But their actual coffee is awful.
It's really popular to slag off their coffee, and I'm not sure why, but I like coffee, different coffees will have different flavour notes, and I've tried most of their coffee, it is not awful.
Clearly, the Police should be given the power to stop cars and check the temperature of any coffee found to be in the driver's possession. It's the only sensible option.
No, what you need is a sensor that only lets the car start if the coffee in the cup is below a certain temperature (a bit like the built in breathalyser idea that was floated a few years ago).
I am not fond of Starbucks coffee either (I prefer to make my own) but what exactly is a "real coffee drinker"?
Someone who likes things like blends and flavours of real actual coffee. The kind who like coffee so strong you can stand a spoon upright in it.
Starbucks is for those people who think thimbleful of weak stuff mixed in with half a litre of cream, syrup, caramel, cinnamon, marshmallows etc. is 'coffee' drinking
I just had a lovely cup of this. Much better than what you get in Starbucks but I am certainly not going to berate any person who chooses for themselves to buy coffee there.

It is not awful in your opinion, in my opinion it is.
It's not just Starbucks that I slag off, Costa is terrible too. Cafe Nero is bearable but I only use them if there isn't an independent coffee shop nearby.
I'm glad you like Starbucks coffee, and as I said I too enjoy many of their products, but everyone's tastes are different (I'm sure there are many things that taste delicious to me but that you wouldn't like) and to me Starbucks actual coffee falls into the awful category.

Real coffee drinkers don't over-extract. They prefer a proper coffee-to-water ratio, and proper grind size to match the brewing method in order to bring out the nuances of the different beans.

If anyone's seen Ricky Gervais' 'Politics' stand-up show there's a bit in there about when he was at Uni and was selecting his options, and comes across a bunch of students who he lovingly refers to as "c***s". I thought of that when I read your post

Being honest, I doubt you could tell the difference between a Kenyan and a Guatemalan, so forgive me if I don't trust your opinion on their coffee.

How can it possibly be right/legal for drivers to leave petrol stations and hurtle off down fast roads at speed in "charge" of vehicles up to the size of multi ton lorries whilst drinking piping hot coffee? It beggars belief!
That's nothing. I've also heard you can buy explosive liquid at petrol stations - imagine how dangerous that is!

I get sixty miles per coffee and it's getting a bit pricey
What marketing?

I'm off to patent that
Well you've clearly been sucked in!
And please spare me the second comment... Real coffee drinkers do not drink at Starbucks.
Probably because it's revolting?

.... or even scolded

Ballsy post, sir.
Watching Gervais is about as enjoyable as drinking anything Starbucks.
Gervais is about my definition of a c**t actually
So in other words you are saying "It takes one to know one"? (not that I am saying you are one)
Exactly! Gervais is just so painfully unfunny in my opinion.
The self-admiration and smugness he has just isn't nice to watch
I like Columbian.
That's nothing. I've also heard you can buy explosive liquid at petrol stations - imagine how dangerous that is!
Especially if you're a heavy smoker ;-)
