Little Coffee Shop Of Horrors!

Remember back in the not-so-distant past when you walked into a coffee shop and you basically had three choices: coffee... coffee with milk or cream... or coffee with milk or cream and sugar?

It looks like the link broke because there is a time limit (server) placed on the story. Is this something you log into, have an account with, etc?

Can you post a detailed summary with citation?

Hmmmmmm.....gotta think

I'm sorry about the failure of this link. The article was very interesting. Basically it described the suprisingly high calorie and fat gram count found in a typical Starbucks coffee treat ... the equivalent of two quarter pounders with cheese, or something like that.

There were also some great suggestions for making your own, and you can reduce the fat and calories.

Here's a link from GourmetSleuth.com for some Starbucks copycat recipes:

AHHHHHHHHHHH....I would hate to guess how much damage my mocha is doing to my body (actually I know).

I hate starbucks. At this campus, starbucks sold out to a knock off. The knockoff kept the same outrageous prices, fired all personel, and has better coffee.
