Why does anyone pay attention to that grossly fat fart?

I've never had trouble ordering a regular old cup of black coffee at Starbucks, not sure what you're talking about. I just don't think it tastes good enough for what they charge for it.

Interesting but I have no desire to roast my own coffee. Seems like a lot of trouble.

I don't like being told who to vote for. I also don't like seeing people's lives ruined. I'm going to take a look at this Schultz guy. If they hate him, maybe he would be good.

Hmmmm. Michael Moore, Far Leftist. Starbucks, a Collective of Far Leftists. It's nice to see Far Leftists eating each other. Or in this case drinking. lol!

Perhaps my experience was an outlier, or that I was confused by all of the strange names on the board. But, I still had trouble getting a single cup of black coffee, with the woman behind the counter saying strange things like 'vente' and such (I guess Latin).



As for roasting your own: if it have the hot-air popper, and 15 minutes, you are good to go. I have written about it before here on CD. What a pleasure it is to purchase various green coffee beans from around the globe, do your own roasting, do your own grinding (yes, you need a grinder), and then experiencing the freshest coffee imaginable.



Here is a link to Sweet Maria's:

Not only can you purchase coffee beans from many countries, but she gives detailed instructions on roasting.

Could you elaborate on "Starbucks, a Collective of Far Leftists"?

Let Schultz waste his billions on not getting elected. If the Dems want to win in 2020 let them offer a good candidate because so far i'm not voting for any of the ones who are currently running.

I refused to use their words. They got the idea when I said I just wanted a small coffee.
