I hate using those size words at Starbucks. I am a Small, Medium, Large type of guy.
I really feel gay asking for a Venti.
I drink my coffee black, and Starbucks over-roasts their coffee to stand up to the "triple five-pump vanilla, non-fat, no foam, whip cream, extra hot, extra carmel, upside down, carmel machiatto", IMHO.
“Venti” is Italian for “twenty,” as in 20-ounce coffee. Technically, Starbucks is giving you detailed serving-size information, but I’ll bet you that 90% of their customers couldn’t tell you what “venti” means.
You should feel like Eurotrash asking for a Venti. It’s probably the same feeling.
Yup. Their "blonde" coffee is actually drinkable, because it has a much lighter roast on it.
