I had no car by which I could easily drive to Starbucks; and in the house I had no instant coffee -- only grounded coffee; so my mom suggested that I try out my younger brother's coffee-making device for a nice, hot, free cup of coffee!

Free is best :p We have a coffee machine in the office here, and it makes really good fresh grounded coffee, but people seem to still like Starbucks downstairs. I don't drink coffee myself so I guess I can't really judge, but I feel it's a waste of money really, since an equally good alternative is available.
ReplyDeleteFree coffee is nice, and since I've been back home and as I have been spending a lot of time in the Barnes and Noble bookstore while I on holiday, I've developed a marked appreciation for quantity prevailing over quality in my coffee choices -- I got so little liquid in my Starbucks latte that I've been ordering straight coffee from them ever since; and that coffee has been a small because I also discovered that I don't have the stomach to drink a medium!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever brew in your apartment in HK? You should get a Bodum French Press, however, I don't know where you could get your own delicious beans to grind there. Wish you could have made it to the Left Coast while you were here, I would have taken you to Blue Bottle (need to post on that place soon!!)
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah, I've been thinking about it: maybe after I deplete my instant coffee supply (mmm...UCC!), I'll switch over to the coffee that requires a bit more care and precision to make. I've gotten into tea, too, recently for my daily caffeine fixes :)
