Working in a coffee shop I have come to realize people really do love coffee. People come in and order drinks that were once considerded a joke. the soy half-caf vanilla carmel latte with two extra shots. If you had heard that five of ten years ago it would have been hilarious. Now people come in and order these kinds of drinks confidently. I will be the first to admit these drinks are good but have you ever made one? Imagine making a chocolate milk now add five different ingrediants in a specific order. It is fun to make don't get me wrong.
Something that I find funny is how people order there drinks the starbucks way. They come in the coffee shop I work in and expect me to understand what they are ordering and get mad when i ask what they mean. What people don't know is starbucks has copy righted words. There cold blended drinks that f word is copy righted. There titles of drinks those are also copy righted. The words for sizes they use can't be used any where else. Its funny to me. Coffee really has changed people over the years. Well espresso has changed people at least.

This is interesting! I didn't realize that Starbucks lingo had become de facto coffee lingo for so many people. And you are right about how orders have changed. I'm still a black coffee, fill it to the brim, myself.
