Starbucksed 2

Its been sometime since I stopped drinking Mochas with an overdose of sugar. A good friend introduced me to the drip coffee at Starbucks and since then its been, a drip a day.

Drip Coffee beans are coarser than the espresso ones. They are made in the same way as the South Indian coffee but the concoction is just a tad thicker. So even as the drip coffee powder is made to stay alongwith the water for a longer time, they seem to have more caffeine when compared to an espresso.

So if you planning to gulp a drip, the best combination is half & half milk(which contains 40 calories including 32 calories of fat in just 2 teaspoons) and sugarless sugar(whatever that means).

  46. nice to see you back. you dont know me, but i had been an ardent follower of your blog.

    Posted by: ravi | July 30th, 2007 - 6:38 am

  47. Ajay, Yep. It’s called Spelnda. Looks like they make sugar like stuff with a chemical called Aspartame and the sugar is actually zero calories.

    Ravi, Thanks for following the blog. Nice to know that.

    Posted by: lazy geek | July 30th, 2007 - 10:59 am

  48. Just FYI - Not sure if you already know this but Aspartame is supposed to deteriorate your brain cells. (FOR REAL!) :)

  49. Hey!! Been long time I checked in to see the sabbatical word!

    Posted by: Shuba | July 31st, 2007 - 11:03 pm

  50. RoleM mam, Yep. I read the same about all artificial sweetners. Now it makes me think the sugar industry is lobbying too much.

    Shuba, Sabattical is all gone.
