wondering what folks think of Panera’s coffee?
Equally crap, but all coffee is crap. If it didn’t look so good, feel so good, make me feel so good, and especially smell so good, I’d never be able to endure the crappy taste. I cannot figure out how something that smells like coffee can taste like coffee.
Starbucks
I’m really happy you included a tea option. Why anyone prefers coffee over tea is beyond me.
We do have Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks in Thailand (and Krispy Kreme and Mr Donut etc). But I don’t go to DD for coffee. I go there for dinuts and have the coffee incidentaly. I do go to Starbucks for the coffee and may have their snacks incidentally. We even bring back Starbucks coffee to drip at home.
I can’t fault DD’s coffee though. I worked in a DD in West Texas for a year right out of high school. (This was the 1970s, and I later found out it was the only one in that part of the state and maybe the whole state at the time, dunno. It was a franchise and eventually shut down on the retirement of the couple who owned it.) The coffee there was good too. But it seemed better than the coffee at today’s Thai DDs. Not sure where the ones here get theirs from. And they’ve started offering cappuccino options; do the US ones do that now?
I only drink coffee for the caffeine, but DD tastes OK to me. I do notice that they practically use shovels to throw in the sugar.
If I could order a “lahge reggala” at Starbucks, I’d probably go there once in a while.
As long as they understand your accent, of course you can.
I reread this twice because I thought I was having a stroke and suddenly words had no meaning. Completely surreal experience.
Another “Breathings, and dleaorations of a delf” moment, brought to you by Ambien. Better living though chemistry!
Accent? Sounds right to me, but I can do without the cream and sugar. Lahge blak, please.
