Nay for overpriced coffee.

I like The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Company much more than Starbucks and I'm not a coffee drinker!

Not to be a pedantic asshat or anything, but it's espresso not expresso. Expresso is something of a socially acceptable term these days, but only among ignorants. Use the proper term, drink the proper drink (light was yellow), and enjoy your moment of transcendence.

In most cases, nay. But the Pumpkin Spice Latte, mmm... so yay.

EDIT: If there were some way to get that spice combo and add it to my own brewed coffee, that would be awesome. Starbucks coffee usually just tastes burned to me otherwise.

yea that'd be nice, i'm sureits just a f lavour syrup. borders regular coffee has a pumkin spice option

Some are able to get it in the syrup form, but imo, it leaves a really bad aftertaste, and it leaves a nasty film in your mouth too. If you want to make a pumpkin spice latte gustatorily analogous to *$, then you would need to do something like the following:

- A teaspoon or so of brown sugar
- A little bit of pumpkin pie spice mix
- A little bit of whip cream
- A tiny bit of cinnamon; it helps round it out

I drink this, but family and friends enjoy the PS latte, and some of the other *$ drinks, so I make it for them. Mine comes out far better, because I'm able to produce what's called microfoam; a rich, velvety, sweet milk that feels like silk on the tongue. So good...

ah kewl. i found some pumkin spice spice at the spice rack of the grocery store. guess i'll try it later.
