They really should think about working on that one that I went out and re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-duct-taped the other day.

I wish. There needs to be more Starbucks in Orlando. I'd risk getting eaten by a lion for a Caramel Frappacino.

Isn't there a new Starbucks right near Vista Way now? When I lived down there before I lived right across from a Dunkin Donuts and a Starbucks, which were literally right next to each other. It amused me, I must say.

I have a friend... the best man at my wedding, who wants to put a coffee shop at Disney World. I hope he is able to do it.

Actually, he's the only person I know who can truly best Starbucks, for the simple reason his father started the company. He has articles written about his father bringing espresso to the United States.

Next time he comes down I'll have to have you all over to try his products. They are very tasty.

As much as I like WDW and DLR, putting in a good coffee shop there would be like a gold mine. There are a LOT of us that like a good cup of coffee, not anything fancy moca-frap-acrap hold your pinkey out, just a good cup of coffee!

(WDW are you reading this, please PLEASE get rid of that stuff you serve. That way I wont have to keep packing my grinder and beans for the in room machine!)

Hmm sounds interesting. I prefer my mom's Cuban espresso. She makes it at around 3.30am (when she gets up) and it keeps getting reheated throughout the day so it's super strong. She also puts a tablespoon full of sugar into the glass "cup" while it's brewing and then another tablespoon or two when she puts it into the thermos.

If guests are over she puts out more sugar for them to put in for taste. And it's served in shot glass sized cups, black.

I remember her putting a lot of cafe and a little bit of milk (with a LOT of sugar) in my baby bottle right before bed. Funny, but coffee makes me sleepy now.
