Starbucks, you pissed me off. You took away my free soy milk with my registered card. Not cool! Pfft– I have no reason to be loyal anymore. I’ve moved on!
Guess what? I’m glad you failed. I found better. I found Vinaccio.
Organic, fair trade coffee beans are what I prefer. How happy I was to make this discovery! 🙂
After all, those are the kind of beans I buy for my home espresso machine. I brew at home 6 days per week and I only buy a latte outside of the house about 1 day per week.
Lesson learned:
Sometimes a ‘bad’ thing is actually a GREAT thing!
(Now…if Vinaccio wants to really impress me, then they’ll go back to offering vegan baked goods. Eric said he bought some vegan scones there once upon a time. No such luck now.)

I’ve been frustrated that, even when shops say they have soy, it’s soy *milk*, not creamer, which tastes much richer. For beans, Javatopia is pretty good, sold at Fred Meyer. Custom roasted, free trade – Grounds for Change, here in WA, has a good variety. Shipping in WA is about $5. You get a discount with the annual membership. I just found out I was supposed to be cleaning my burr grinder daily – turns out the beans can get stuck in there and go rancid. The cup I made after brushing it out tasted WAY better LOL – duh!!
