LOL, I can sympathize. I seem to love the iced chai. It kills me that I’m paying $4 a pop for freaking milk, ice, and syrup!!! LOL For some reason the ones I make at home (with supposedly the same ingredients) taste like a horse’s butt... :( Starbucks is my master!!!

LOL!

I've used my own espresso machine as well, and it still falls short, even when I buy their coffee.

I know it tastes "burnt", but Peete's, Seattle's, and Coffee Bean just don't do it for me. I could exist on nothing more than three venti lattes a day. (Fights osteoporosis, too! LOL.)

Up here the big alternative is Tullys. I like their hot chocolate, but for anything coffee, I prefer Starbucks... Oh well!!! And yes, I could subsist off of Starbucks alone... Maybe throw in one of those little oat-fudge bars for a little carbs here and there... ;) Too bad it’s so expensive!!
