Starbucks fucked up my order this morning. I specifically requested 3 sugars and "Extra" half & half and they gave it to me entirely black.

Starbucks here never puts milk or sugar in the coffee. That's up to you at the milk stand.

They've done it for me before. That's why the app has the option in the first place...I thought, at least.

Having a cashew latte, made with a Puerto Rican dark roast. Very much needed today to wake up.

That sounds interesting. Need to find a Puerto Rican coffee shop around here.

If you do, and you should, as you live in Little San Juan City, check for Gustos dark roast or for Hacienda San Pedro (the coffee beans- yes, grind it, work for your gogo juice!). If those aren’t available, Yaucono is quite good too.

I don’t even use lamebucks. Gas station coffee is so much better.

Caffeine isn't much in those kinds of coffees.

Just take caffeine pills, then, unless you're going for the taste.

I wouldn’t attribute the word “taste” to US gas station coffee. Nope.

Yeah, figured. I'd rather go to a coffee franchise than a gas station. Personal thought, but, at least, you and I agree.

In the US? Weeelllll... Starbucks isn’t stellar (yet yes, better than truckstop dirty water), but for those traveling (since there’s more than one SB at terminals than bathrooms it seems) for example, it can be a lifesavers I guess. My experience has been that if you truly want palatable or good coffee in this country, your best option is the local cafes.

True, but it's hard to find a really good one here. There are local cafes, for sure, but I think the U.S. and Europe are more diverse and deep, when it comes to coffee tastes or techniques to make better coffee, one of the reasons many people here are trying to obtain licenses to become baristas in European countries.

I follow a few Korean vloggers and I must say you lot are super hooked on bean juice. But that’s just perception through a lens. Seems like drinking coffee is trendy over there and rather new.
