I like Coke, too. But my rule is, no soda pop before 10:30 am.

I have to be in the company of someone I really trust to order my usual breakfast drink, a venti nonfat light-whip mocha. I try to simplify it, but in the end just have to explain it to the person behind the machine, and it's easier just to give it to them like they write it down.

In the evening, though, I don't order a breakfast drink. "Coffee. Large. Black." seems adequate. And that's all I ever ordered at Starbucks before meeting by wife and being corrupted by feminine influence.

1 sugar, 1 fake sugar, 1 milk

little cream, little bit of REAL sugar.

Starbucks is in the milk business, not the coffee business - I'm paraphrasing. That stuff is garbage.

I buy beans from a real nice little coffee roaster in downtown Pittsburgh, like 100 choices of coffee there.

Can't beat Nescafe instant hot out of a microwave with artificial sweetener and low fat Cremora. Yum yum!
Seriously, we are on the road a lot here lately and I am not young. When it's my time to drive at night, I get a large cup of bitter black coffee in an insulated cup and sip it for hours. Being a diuretic (spelling?) coffee makes pit stops much more frequent than normal.
Not a bad thing when driving late at night.

Sometimes there is nothing better for driving at night that nasty, cheap gas station coffee. I like to indluge in the fancy stuff when I can actually enjoy it, but when I'm using it for a purpose the three-day old middle-of-rural-Mississippi black-as-night (let's see how many more hyphenated phrases I can fit in here) coffee is the only stuff for me.

I'm secure enough to, like Rick, fess up to my Starbucks order (triple grande two pump almond latte).
