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.)
Ah…my sweet *elixir. My little happy place. How I look forward to my daily espresso beverage!
- double shot home-brewed Fair Trade, Organic, City or Full City Roast coffee
- teensy bit sweetener
- 1/3 cup soy milk
- 1/3 cup homemade nut rice milk.
I typically use coarse raw sugar, but today I tried Raw Coconut Crystals. I found them at my local food Co-op. Two thumbs up!
*Elixir just sounds right to me. Technically, an elixir is a sweet liquid containing alcohol. But, since espresso is clearly used to “cure one’s ills,” I’m going with it! 🙂
