Java

I like coffee. I think I have become more of a coffee lover since I have been with Marc. He used to brew individual cups every morning by pouring hot water through a filter that sat atop the cup. Yummy. We are huge connoisseurs of coffee. We frequent coffee joints and when on vacation, the first thing we scout out is a good coffee place. When Starbucks opened a new place close to us, we were ecstatic. We like Purple Bean, but it is inconsistent. Starbucks usually tastes the same. We have had to put up with some awful and erratic service, but it seems to be getting better.

I am now drinking soy lattes since giving up milk and prefer a sugar-free syrup to avoid some calories. Purple Bean has the largest assortment of sugar-syrups that I have ever seen. Starbucks only had two. No more. I pulled up today to find that they have expanded their menu to carry.......drum-roll, please.........5 sugar-free syrups. They call them 'Skinny Lattes.'

This is not a huge increase. But 5 choices is more than 2 and I may just hold up that drive through a bit longer as I make my decision.

CHEERS!
