I'm no longer a big fan of Starbucks, their coffee is too bitter for me (but I did drink it for years). I do drink it when I'm traveling as it is the best choice (way better than McD which my dad & I always argued about. He loved their 35 ct/cup coffee). I much prefer Peets. But....I just bought myself a super automatic expresso machine.. So excited!

Sure, but then I'd make an entire pot and drink it all day long, which I definitely don't think is good for me. It's because I have to put on pants and walk a mile that my coffee consumption is limited to a cup once a week or so. And I enjoy every last drop of it. Bonus: I get some exercise.
What are you talking about?
I brew one cup (or two if my wife wants one) in my 15 year old Braun coffee maker.
You don't have to fill up the machine to capacity.
We only drink one cup of coffee a day at this house, too.
My regular at Starbucks is to not go in..
I just am not spending 4 dollars on a cup of coffee..
I also boycott the 3 dollar a few sip frapachino things they sell in the store..
Where do you live that a cup of coffee costs $4? Every starbucks I've been to has it for around $1.50... except for NYC where it is closer to $2.
I wait patiently all year for pumpkin spice lattes. Their salted caramel mocha was also good. I never get their regular coffee, though - to me, it's very bitter.
Granted, I've had a headache for well over a week, so my memory is a bit unreliable, but I swear I was in a store a few days ago, which had large cardboard containers (maybe 1-qt) of pre-mixed Starbucks drinks... pumpkin spice was one of them. Not sure where you are, but I believe it was Smart & Final market, which sells to the general public, but is used by lots of caterers & local restaurants.
If you search around, you might be able to find them, maybe in a restaurant supply shop? BTW, I checked the SB site & don't see them offered ... might be migraine hallucinations (right, I'll see myself out in a moment), but, I do believe they exist & the only reasons I didn't stop to inspect them was the aforementioned bonce bashin' headache & I'm a black coffee drinker, so wouldn't likely purchase them.
Hopefully, you can find it & can make some at home more frequently. The bonus is it would be cheaper, too. I do have to go to the market tomorrow... I'll give a shout out if I see them.

You have much more self-control than I do. If I had a coffee maker at my disposal all the time, it would get ugly.
