I have this thing for Starbucks iced coffee. I don't like their hot coffee (too acidic) but their iced coffee hits the spot. So the other day I went to Starbucks in Bloomfield and I get stuck waiting behind someone who actually had a list of coffee drinks for herself and about 6 buddies, and each drink order was the usual incredibly complicated hodgepodge of extra shots, special flavors, and just the right amount of foam. Fortunately, there are Starbucks about every mile or so in the city, so I went to the next Starbucks down the street and got my iced coffee in less time than I would have spent had I waited in the previous Starbucks.
Anyway, Starbucks supposedly has a new hot coffee that won't erode the lining of your stomach so I'll have to give that a try some day. Actually, this idea of theirs could backfire, since I think the reason people order the expensive coffee drinks is that their regular coffee is so bitter. So they may get more traffic in the stores if the new coffee is decent, but folks will be less likely to get ripped off ordering their fancy lattes and machiattos.
