Erm no........ and I don't intend to either. The only thing Starbucks has ever done that is good, is bring decent coffee to England - in the shape of their competitors !

Gingerbread Latte ... yummerz!!

Also the hot apple cider or whatever it's called, mmmm! But I can't always find that everywhere...

Alas I don't know when they're back. But given it's not Christmas for 2 months, any day now I imagine.

Who in their right mind would pay way over the odds for what amounts to one third of a cup of coffee and two thirds of a cup of Froth.

We are getting a Starbucks in our little historic town here in about 2 years, or whenever they finish building the new shopping arcade... already got a Costa Coffee... it's only a small town, don't need more.

UGH. My first Starbucks coffee was about seven years ago in an Airport, and that was the last time I had something in Starbucks.

Not a coffee drinker.

... because it makes sense.

Presumably most people like it the temperature it is. If 99% of people came along and asked for it extra hot, then customers are clearly not happy, and they would make it hotter as a general rule.

However, some (infact most) people don't like it too hot - so in wanting it hotter you (and myself actually) are in the minority, so we should have the make that oh-so-difficult effort to say those three little words ... 'extra hot please', so that the majority of customers remain happy.

The laws of physics also dictate that it's quicker to heat the milk up for some people than cool it down for the majority.

I used to like starbucks......and then I discovered what really coffee tasted like! Cafe Nero is much better, and more reasonably priced! Thank god they're closing some of those bleeding starbucks down! Where I work in London Bridge, within half a mile there are about 5 starbucks!!!

I like the toffee nut lattes they have in the winter...

Normally I go for the caramel mach though...

Starbucks coffee is fab, imho. Yes it's over priced but your paying for the experience as a whole. If I just wanted a crap cup of cheap coffee I'd go to my local cafe.....

It really is the most wonderful time of the year, as the song says!

I like the toffee nut latte best but i do like the egg nog one too. I wonder if they will have xmas cake this year like they did last year?

I love DS's coffee snobbery.

I don't mind starbucks, and I've never had a lukewarm coffee. Probably because I don't ruin it with milk.
