The Starbucks Allure

I love my cup of coffee in the mornings. French Vanilla and Hazlenut alternate as my two number one picks for my daily cup of joe. For the life of me however, I do not understand why so many people flock to Starbucks every morning and fork over three and four dollars for one cup of something that I can get a whole jar of in the grocery store. Granted, I would have to go home and boil the water for it every morning, but the name brand coffee I buy in the grocery store tastes excellent to me.

Want to know a secret, even the gas stations sometimes sell really good tasting coffee. Miller's right up the street from me sells French Vanilla Coffee for a little over a buck, and it is to die for. My ex-nanny actually turned me on to them.

Okay, okay. I am not knocking Starbucks. I too like to be pampered and feel like I'm one of the rich and famous. I have to admit that I buy coffee from Starbucks from time to time, but not everyday. My husband, for example, visits Starbucks daily. Part of my awe with them is that I can never figure out what to buy. There are rows and rows of different coffees you can buy from them. It makes my head spin and my eyes hurt just looking at them. I've tried listening in to see what other people are ordering, but haven't been successful at remembering the exact wording. I have also tried several different cups, but none of them seem to be able to measure up to my French Vanilla. So, for all of you Starbucks lovers out there, please write me and tell me what your favorite coffees are from them so I can try them out. If I can find the right one for me, who knows, I may become a daily Starbucks drinker too.
