It’s a perennial New Years resolution of mine to frequent the chain less but alas: unsweetened matcha and a cortado with that exact blonde espresso concoction & ratio are two of the things I’ve been wishing they had. Go figure.

Tea connoisseur ping!

“Drop”? Why the continuous ghetto? I like old America, we’re new products were released, or announced.

[KarlInOhio]

I never know if “dropped” is added to the menu or removed.

[rdl6989]

I thought drop meant to cancel.

[DallasBiff]

Star what? Never been there.

[Hammerhead]

The new drip coffee machines that Starbucks instituted mid this year are absolutely horrible! The coffee now is absolutely disgusting.

[rdl6989]

You didn’t miss anything.

I have yet to meet ANYONE who goes to Starbucks on a regular basis that isn’t gay, although I suspect that there might be a few of them.

We should refuse redefined words when the opposite meaning is being used instead of the original meaning.

[Ex gun maker.]

THIS irrelevancy is “News”?

[GaltAdonis]

”… The coffee now is absolutely disgusting. …”

.

You mean that the coffee has actually gotten WORSE? BLECH!!!

There is a reason that I have not been there in three years or so….

Cortado. “Drink Cuban coffee. Do stupid things faster”

And yet Dade county voted Trump this year, go figure

The use of "drop" to mean "release in a carefully controlled manner" has been standard for political news circles for many years. One common usage is the late-Friday release of bad or embarrassing news, timed for minimum coverage. I'm pretty sure the "ghetto" use is more recent and derivative.

I thought “drop” meant they were removing items from their menu.

Anyway, I don’t go there much. Overpriced and a lot of coffee and sugar. Don’t care for lattes.

Cran-merry orange refresher.

Any matcha connoisseurs out there? I’m going to Japan for the first time in April and know that they love it. It’s in everything from tea to ice cream.

I like traditional green tea, but I’ve never tried matcha and wonder why it’s so popular now. And, is it actually good in things like ice cream, or is that just a fad?

Liz.  Back in the 1960s, growing up on Cape Cod (one of the favorite spots to grow cranberries), my Dad would serve up a drink for relatives and friends called the "Cape Canaveral".

A swirling "lift-off" effect was achieved by splashing some cranberry juice down a glass of orange juice.

Sounds like Starbucks missed some drama.  Happy New Year to You, my FRiend.

“The new drip coffee machines that Starbucks instituted mid this year are absolutely horrible! The coffee now is absolutely disgusting.”

A barista told me it’s now 200 degrees fresh from the machine. If you’re used to the old system where coffee was a good deal cooler you’ll either spray super hot coffee everywhere or scald your mouth. I’ve witnessed both.

Cape Canaveral-—a deelish New England drink.
