[HEIRESS]

Im inclined to decline!

[ET]

I'm just inclined. :o

[QueenAdrock]

I can't have caffeine so I had a green tea latte when I was there. Which I later found out was chock-full of caffeine. I've run across nothing but decaffeinated green teas so I just figured they were all like that. :(

[Lyman Zerga]

rofl

[ET]

Shit's evil. Evil, evil corporations.

Beaver juice lol.

R-R-R-R-RECLINE

[befsquire]

i'm gonna have to go tomorrow and check it out.

i love starbucks. all you haters don't even bother booing me, i'm impervious to it. make better coffee and offer it in a location convenient to me and then we'll talk. over coffee.

[HEIRESS]

if they dont have it down thurrr beth just ask bobby to spit in your coffee for you

[befsquire]

i gotta be careful how i word that one, heiress.

[hellojello]

Ive never had starbucks. I hope I can go my whole life without ever having it. I could have also said I've never had subway until 2 weeks ago. But yeah, shamefully now I have.
But I won't ever again.
yeah damn straight i'm superiour.
the end.

[befsquire]

heiress, is this it?

"Maple Macchiato, a shot of espresso marks the foam on top of steamed milk and maple sauce, maple drizzle is added to the top to add to the layers of flavor."

edit: nevermind, here it is. sounds the same as the above though.

"Maple Latte
A deliciously indulgent combination of espresso topped with steamed milk and maple- flavored sauce, topped with whipped cream and maple drizzle."

[HEIRESS]

Oooo yes, I forgot they do the macchiato too

I always go for the latte

OMG I WANT ANOTHER ONE RIGHT NOW

haha maple sauce

[HEIRESS]

ps

haha maple drizzle

[hellojello]

This is probably a re-run, but whatever, its funny and deserves another post
COFFEE HOUSE RULES (http://www.illwillpress.com/coffeehouse.html)

[DroppinScience]

Never even heard of it. Then again, I don't go to Starbucks.

[Lyman Zerga]

i decided to drink my coffee from now on with sweetener instead of sugar, diet or not

[hitmonlee]

we don't have starbucks here...
i tried it over east though... we'd been walking in the rain for two hours, first day in sydney, locked out of our accommodation, and neither of us had our bags with us (luckily i had my phone and my friend had her wallet) got a big mug of vanilla latte.

i'm no coffee snob!

really don't recall seeing a maple flavour

[Gareth]

only been to starbucks once and it was in hong kong
so i dunno...
i walk past one everyday though
also i dont drink coffee
and there are plenty of other cafes around anyway

[venusvenus123]

the coffee from starbucks over here is dreadful -- the lattes taste like flavoured hot milk :(

we do have a lot of these other coffee house type places to choose from tho:cool:

[na§tee]

AGGH YOU FUCKING BITCHEZ!

FUCKING TEASING ME WITH YOUR GODDAMNED INTERNATIONAL FUCKING LATTES.

FUCKING MAPLE SYRUP AND APPLE CIDER AND GODDDAMN FLAVOURS OF HEAVEN.

ALL WE HAVE IS PISSING GINGERBREAD.

I HATE YOU ALL!

:mad:

[Otis Driftwood]

There's so many uncertainties here...
So could you like, do this at home. If you bought Maple Syrup (good w pannekoeken´, too)?
Or is your coffee not good enough? Or is it too much of a bother? Or would you get sick after cup no 6?

[monkey]

i usually dont do flavored lattes because im annoying and i hate many tastes at once. but if you recommend this... i might try it. is it really sugary though?

[Dorothy Wood]

I don't like maple flavor, it makes me want to vomit. like donuts with a maple glaze...hurrrgh, bleh. also I don't like coffee. so this sounds pretty much like my worst nightmare.

ahh see caramel macchiatos blow my face off with their sweetness, I find the maple flavour just right

[skra75]

I concur.
'Maple flavor' is mega good, it exists outside of the actual flavor of things like 'Maple Syrup'. It has it's own wonderful flavor, which lives in delicous things like maple frosted donuts and yummy yumm bear claws.

[cookiepuss]

up we gots maple goodness at starbucks in NOrcal too.

know what else i really like those pure sugar maple candies. you know the ones that come in the shape of a maple leaf or as Santa in the xmas time? good stuff. then again I'm the kind gal who will eat spoonfuls of brown sugar.

[cosmo105]

^i get pure maple candies and put them in the bottom of my tea and let them dissolve to sweeten it. airesse knows the joys of pure whipped maple butter, too. i've been so good...there's still about 1/3 of that jar left. my will is strong.

[HEIRESS]

DUDE POUND THAT SHIT NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT!

it a gift that keeps on givin eh?

[cosmo105]

i should. after all, we all need a little winter insulation...even though it's in the 90s here today...

[cookiepuss]

oooohhh I saw maple butter in my vermont country store catlog! I'm gonna buy some.

[HEIRESS]

DO IT DO IT

[beastiegirrl101]

Ok, I have been passing it up on a daily basis because I was thinking that it would be really sweet and sugary and I really cant handle that. Is it super sweet?

[venusvenus123]

i bet it's super fattening. :mad:

[befsquire]

i had the maple macchiato today.

oh. my. god.

it's perfect.

[HEIRESS]

YEAH! SEE! I KNEW YOU'D LOVE IT

drinking a flavoured coffee once in awhile is the least of my calorie worries, sadly :(

[marsdaddy]

Never seen one, but maple scones kick ass!

I had a green tea latte the other day, though.

[befsquire]

i felt like homer simpson when i was drinking it, because i couldn't wait for it to cool so i kept burning my tongue a little.

i want another one so bad i almost can't stand it. it shall be my reward for voting tomorrow.

[HEIRESS]

I know! I've never had a hot beverage that made me crave for it more in my entire life

[befsquire]

i'm already wondering what i'm going to do when they take it away (i'm assuming it's seasonal).

[venusvenus123]

i visited my local starbucks this morning to see whether the maple latte is happening over here. unsurprisingy, it isn't. so, i decided to try an eggnog latte instead. BIG mistake. it is probably one of the most revolting things i have ever tasted. SOOOOO SWEEET!

i've realised that i don't like sweet things. creamy, yes. sweet, no. so i'm guessing i wouldn't like the maple latte anyway.

now i feel like i'm not missing out :p

[Otis Driftwood]

Eggnog! Eggnog! Eggnog!!
Hahahaha, that's probably the most silly word in the english language and the most disgusting alcoholic beverage as well.

[na§tee]

goddamn you transatlantic bitchez.

so, i went to costa today to get change for the remembrance day poppy man and ordered a 'tiramisu' latte. don't lie, costa. it's a fucking latte with rum syrup. very disappointing.

[venusvenus123]

TODAY I DECIDED TO PUSH THE BOAT OUT and go for a STARBUCKS GINGERBREAD LATTE. OMG I WAS IN SEVENTH HEAVEN MOST OF THE WAY ROUND SAINSBURYS. not too sweet or sickly (i had it without cream) and the gingerbread gives it a nice kick.

THANKS TO HEIRESS & BETH (yet again) for inspiring this magical purchase from starbucks. (y)

the ALL CAPS ARE AN ODE TO HEIRESS btw.

bless her cotton socks. :o

[HEIRESS]

ILL SHOW YOU SOME COTTON SOCKS! ok that made no sense

glad your senses were tingled to the max venussss!

[backwoods]

thes goddamn drinks are delisous

[HEIRESS]

the homo-gayness is so tasty, so so tasty

[venusvenus123]

venti=fatty

[HEIRESS]

grande=me

:(

[skra75]

Fuck....
They've just discontinued them at all local Starbucks...
Fuck....

:(

[HEIRESS]

WHAT!

SHAMESHAMEDOUBLESHAME

I had a 20 oz one last night at a local joint becuase Id gone a whole month without maple flavoured coffee whilst abroad

I bought some "maple extract" at the grocery store the other day
Im going to experiment at home
buying the coffee shop syrups is too expensive
Hmmm we'll see...

[hpdrifter]

Shit, I guess I missed the boat on these. I don't usually bother with Starbucks because here in Seattle there's a contemptful, pretentious coffee shop every five feet, but this actually sounded good to me. Someone bump this thread at Christmas time this year.

No! friends don't let friends go to Starbucks!

no bastarized macchiatto for you!

[hpdrifter]

At least at Starbucks they smile at you and act like they're happy you're there. There's a great place in Cap Hill called Vivace which might actually have the best coffee in the world but I can't go there because the baristas always act like my request for a nonfat hazelnut is too much of an imposition.

Oh well, I drink mostly green tea these days anyway.

[skra75]

OH YES ITS BACK ITS FINALLY BACK

[HEIRESS]

yay!

4 rillz.

[HEIRESS]

I just re-read this thread and am disgusted with how carefree I sounded a year ago.
stellar.

[adrockmelanie]

i've never had any kind of coffee in my life.
or tea.

[SOP]

Just imagine the micromachine guy reading these posts out loud, except he giggles and he's a chick.

:D

your post just made this thread more enjoyable. thank you.

[insertnamehere]

i have a shit ton of homework to do today. maybe this will be my reward for homework. you've all made it sound so yummy. last night i was at ihop and almost poured syrup in my coffee cause i thought it would be yummy but i decided against it.

[HEIRESS]

naw Ive done that before, do not be ashamed!

[cosmo105]

I just re-read this thread and am disgusted with how carefree I sounded a year ago.
stellar.

don't be, it's a reminder of the happy person you are regardless of what life throws at you. :)

maple's just a sweetener to me sometimes. a delicious, delicious sweetener.

[skra75]

OH FUCK I WAS WRONG IN THIS AREA IT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED FUCK UFCK+++++++
