Would you consider a fancy coffee based drink as coffee?

If I spend $5 a day on a cafe latte, or a mocha latte, or any fancy fufu starbucks drink am I spending $5 a day on coffee?

Coffee is coffee... that stuff isn't coffee.

IMO, no. I think of coffee as coffee + sugar + cream at most.

Most drinks at Starbucks are variations of those three ingredients.

Yes, and you're also wasting $1,300+ a year compared to the coffee I grind & brew at home.

That's a nice Samsung 50" DLP, or a smaller LCD or plasma. Or a PS3, 360, wii, PSP and a DS with money left over for games.

A few things.

1) A cappuccino or a latte isn't "fancy". It's a standard coffee drink. A mocha might be more along the fancy side, but still not so much.
2) It's still a coffee, but prepared as espresso and with milk. It's a milk-based espresso (coffee) drink.
3) $5 is a ridiculous price. $3 at most, and yes, that's a good deal. It's more expensive than you might think to produce such a drink.
4) I fail at being pulled into a coffee thread.

Did you really need to prove your point from the other thread? ;)

In before the Izzard joke.

Anyway, I do consider it coffee, though I rarely drink those types of drinks. I like my coffee or espresso black, though I will have the occassional latte/cappuccino, with no sugar of course.

really should've looked at the poll options before I voted. Skull fuck is so much more appropriate than "yes" :(

I voted yes but I'm starting to think I don't understand what's REALLY going on in this thread.
