Starbucks
Recently Marines over in Iraq supporting this country in OIF wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffee and try to score some free coffee grounds. Starbucks wrote back telling the Marines thanks for their support in their business, but that they don't support the War and anyone in it, and that they won't send them the Coffee. So as not to offend them we should not support in buying any Starbucks products. As a War vet and writing to you patriots, I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this War might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting street to street and house to house for what they and I believe is right. If you feel the same as I do, then pass this along, or you can discard it and I'll never know. Thanks very much for your support to me, and I know you'll all be there again soon when I deploy once more. Semper Fidelis, Sgt Howard C. Wright 1st Force Recon Co 1st Plt PLT RTO |

QUOTE(reverie @ Nov 30 2004, 04:36 PM) Any info on milligrams of caffeine would be appreciated, thanks! Espresso machine shots, stovetop maker, french press, drip coffee.. there's a lot of "word-of-mouth" info out there, and it gets all muddled after a while. I think the stovetop ones are interesting.. do they work about as fast as a french press? And I second that location request. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) - Roger Here is a little info on caffeine content, keep in mind that there are a lot of factors that can change these numbers Brewed Coffee* 8 ounces 65-120 milligrams Instant Coffee 8 ounces 80-85 milligrams Espresso 1 ounce* 30-50 milligrams *1 onuce= one shot. * so many variables in brewed coffee this can be drip, french press, stove top. The stove top is about as fast as the french press, basically as long as it takes to boil the water. Actually in the stove top it is much like espresso, it builds pressure while heating the water in the lower part then forces it up through the grounds that are in the middle and pushes it up into the top chamber. IF you grind right there is virtually no ground residue. If you want the absolute best tasting coffee you have ever had try one of these. It is a vacuum pot coffee maker. Grounds start in the top, bottom is full of water. Normaly heated with a flame type burner. Water is forced up tube when heated, mixes with grounds on top, when heat is removed the coffe flows to the bottom. Awsome stuff. |
