CR has consistently ranked “8 O’Clock” Coffee as being superior at a lower cost than the better advertised brands. From the evidence there are people who can taste the differences and prefer some of these exotics, as for me, I am happy to get my dosage of “go fuel” from home and save the dinero!
Only six dollars? what about the consumption tax, state tax, non-essential foods tax, non-green container tax, solar energy replenishment tax, and the biggie…yuppie tax!
Forget the caffeine; real whipped cream with chocolate makes the drink a treat. But life is too brutal to drink “easier” coffee; especially that from most office coffee pots or vending machines. I do vote for the Community coffee served at Louisiana welcome centers; other states except Mississippi and Texas have no clue as to how unwelcome their welcome centers are.
I once visited a bar that had a dozen micro- and import beers on tap… and, for the price of two pints of the good stuff, they could find a bottle of Butt Lite for those who insisted on it. They called the higher price the “Bozo Tax.”
gofinsc – I don ‘t know how many hippie roots the Perfesser could have. You may remember earlier strips when it was revealed that he had a degree in dirigible engineering from Rutgers.

Isn’t a latte the one that’s mostly not coffee? I have a thermos and make coffe at home and don’t know anything about the overpriced stuff.

A “latte” takes longer to make than a “soonne.”

Irish whiskey helps quite a bit too.

Cosmo has apparently forgotten his hippie roots to become a hip yuppy-wannabe.

I agree with Olmail, I like starbucks once in awhile, I also make coffee at home.

Coffee should not be cool, it should be hot.

Pepsi, please. Especially the throwback variety made with sugar instead of corn. Not as sweet, but the same cold caffeine.
