    All Starbucks coffee is wuss. Wayyy too wussy-tasting for me. [I find this to be the case almost everywhere else, bar a few select, like Hotel Leopold in Brussels or this great place off off Harvard Square, which I can't remember the name of (basement place, but lots of light), but I will find my way to blindfolded, serves incredible coffee and food, great service, temperamental opening hours and menu, but great company]. Mind you, I am prohibitively fussy when it comes to superlatively great tasting coffee.

    What is the term paper on?

    term paper is for my anthropology class, and is studying the conflict between corporate coffeeshops such as Starbucks and independently owned shops.

    I pretty much don't drink coffee unless it's all candied up as a mocha frappucino or some such.

    I myself can give into anything if there is a Chai Tea Latte around..... ( if you cannot tell I voted for the first option...)

    The most I'll do, in terms of specialty drinks anywhere, is a cappuccino. All the other specialty drinks have sugar in them, even the 'sugar-free' syrups they have for them. Blechhh.

    Even then, the Starbucks cappuccino only serves to cut a little bit of the acidity and does nothing to reveal the actual flavor of the coffee.

    I repeat: blechh.
