I love coffee! My morning is not complete without a cup of thick brew. Oddly I don't own a coffee maker so I stop at a local coffee shop to pick up a cup, every morning. I had been going to Caribou but they raised the price on my Americano about 10 cents. Which would not have been a deal breaker for me but then I realized that Starbuck's is now 38 cents less then Caribou, being right next to each other on my drive, I'll obviously opt to save almost 40 cents a day!

I like my coffee thick and creamy, almost bitter. So I order an <span>Americano</span> which is 3 shots of espresso and hot water over top. Well neither Caribou or Starbucks actually do this, what they do is actually called a Long Black, which is in reverse, hot water with 3 shots of espresso on top. This is important because I want less water in my espresso. I like it a little thicker then most in America at least.

At <span>Starbuck's</span> I order a <span>grande</span> <span>Americano</span> with less water. They write on my order cup ‘++ rm' which means to them ‘leave plenty of room for cream'. Problem is they have added the water first then they short me on the 3 shots to leave extra room for cream!
