    Due to my recent visit to Starbucks, I wanted to see what the other bee's coffee drinks of choice are. For me, it depends on the weather. If it's warm out, a iced Americano with white chocolate and cream or if the weather is cold, a hot vanilla latte, toffee mocha, or peppermint mocha. What is yours?

    Skinny vanilla latte, or fat free chai latte.. MMM. I do love their holiday specials though like ginger bread or pumpkin spice. And white hot chocolate is amazing!

    I love Starbucks! My favorite hot drink is a Venti Caramel Vanilla Latte.  I get 5 pumps of each syrup rather than splitting them between the two.  I like my drinks really sweet though.

    Cold? My sister actually works at Starbucks in our home town, and she turned me on to a Java Chip Frappachino, with the addition of mint!

    I am an iced coffee girl at heart, although in the fall/winter or at night I drink hot. Also, Intelligentsia's single origin espresso = amazing. 

    I only drink coffee black. I'm boring and an addict, what can I say?

    If it's hot out: a caramel frap or vanilla iced coffee from McD's.

    If it's cold: a caramel macchiato...

    I'm not super original- lol. Unfortunately, caffiene has been making me dizzy lately, so I haven't been able to enjoy any of the above for a while.

    I like anything with vanilla or caramel!  Normally I can't afford starbucks so we make our own (real) lattes and flavored coffees with syrups, milk, frothers, shavings, ice etc!

    I haven't been to a Starbucks in years, but I really want to try that Pumpkin spice drink.  I love McDonald's caramel frappes, but a doctor friend of mine told me it's like diabetes in a cup, so I don't drink them that often anymore.

    @MsJ26: Oh man I miss that summer treat receipt too!

    I don't know if I could pick one, and I have a serious sweet tooth so mine sound a bit picky:

    Caramel frap w/classic syrup, latte w/caramel & classic, vanilla chai latte, or pumpkin spice latte.

    I hate Starbucks coffee. Gag. If I have to get something from Starbucks, I'll get a chai tea latte.

    My favorite coffee drink is a regular old Dunkn Donuts coffee with lots of cream and lots of sugar. Since I'm trying to lose weight, I've given it up (sob) and now I drink the DD Latte Lite with nonfat milk and 2 Splendas. It's okay but I miss my cream and sugar.

    DH hates ordering my drink at Starbucks because it's so high maintenance: Grande non-fat dense foam chai latte. LOL! Then I have a system for my cinnamon on top too ;)  I'm not sure why but in Canada dense foam is totally normal to order, but when I've asked for it in the States the barristas look at me like I'm insane! I like thick foam darn it!

    Nonfat vanilla latte :) Mmmmmm!!!! If I'm feeling adventurous I'll do a nonfat mocha. I like nonfat milk because the fat in whole or 2% milk takes away from the coffe flavor, imo.

    Oh i saw a woman the other day who had a complicated order so she carried the coffee sleeve around with her that had all the markings and abbreviations on it, so all she had to do when ordering was show the person the sleeve! very smart idea and made the order go fast!

    At Starbucks I'll get either a skinny vanilla latte, an Americano, or a mug of herbal tea.

    At home, I make a lot of Americanos using locally-roasted beans (oh my gosh, they are so good)...I also make a mean soy or skinny vanilla latte and love our espresso machine!

    It is sad, though--FI works part-time at Starbucks (in addition to being a student, taking business classes) and gets a free pound of coffee a week through them...but we won't drink it anymore! We're too spoiled by the Karma Coffee beans; they are THAT MUCH better.  Ugh, $13/pound, but we are addicted, I tell you.

    @bohemianbailie: Have you tried "Sleepytime Extra"?  They add valerian and it's so relaxing and sleep-promoting at night!  I like them both but actually find the "extra" helps me sleep better...I have some insomnia problems so it was huge to find anything that made even a tiny difference.

    @Allyser - Wow! I have heard of people having complicated drinks (I give my mom a hard time about hers) but that has GOT to be a mouthful if she had to say it every time and that she goes through the trouble of carrying her coffee sleave around!

    Coffee.... just coffee. No cream, no sugar.

    I have at least a mug a day if not more. I do enjoy the lattes and frilly stuff from time to time, but nothing beats plain coffee to me.

    For a regular everyday coffee...I'd prefer Dunkin Donuts over most, but Caribou is also pretty good (and all the people that work there have been really cool for some reason). 

    Starbucks is more of a dessert coffee place for me, which I don't do much of.  When I do, I like the Chai Latte or a Sugarfree Caramel Latte.

    @bohemianbailie:  Sleepytime tea is the best!  That is my go-to drink whenever I have a cold!!

    Caramel Frappuccino with extra whip - but sometimes I get sick of it!

    In the winter I love the white hot chocolate with raspberry syrup!

    Our place is literally 100 meters from a Starbucks, so I end up stopping there more often than I'd like to admit.  I always get a non-fat with-whip white chocolate mocha.  I think it's too rich with the 2% milk, but not rich enough if you get rid of the whip!  

    The other day, though, FI got a toffee mocha and it was DELICIOUS so I might mix it up and get one of those next time...
