I won't label myself as an addict or a coffee snob or any of those other ugly sounding things.
What I will say is that my day is better with a good cup of coffee.
McConn is the coffee shop on campus and it's usually very good. I've had maybe 2 drinks that did not meet my expectations but nothing that was undrinkable.
I used to only like the Frappuccino, which the Starbucks website calls a "blended beverage." That, my reader, is a euphemism for a coffee slushy. You can get all kinds of flavors and some without any coffee in them at all. I was that middle schooler in line behind you with the gift card and too much blue eye shadow (is there any acceptable amount?) ordering a grande carmel frappuccino. Slowly but surely, I got sick of those things. The bottom 1/3 of the drink is usually crushed ice with very little flavor left. With the carmel frapp, which did include coffee, there was always a bad taste in my mouth afterwards. That was not conducive to the hushed and dramatic conversation I was trying to have with my best friend at the table next to yours. I know, we were still too loud for you, other Starbucks customer, as you tried to blog about the meaning of life.
*Also, WOW full circle much?*
I moved on to highly sugary coffee drinks like carmel macchiatos and occasionally iced coffee (with cream and sugar always). I still enjoy things like that, but I can drink real coffee now (I'm an adult!! do adults say that?) with cream. I prefer if it has a flavor in it but I can do without. For example, today I got a Cafe Latte with English Toffee. Delicious.
This will certainly not be the last time I rave on about coffee and my love for that stuff.
