I drink Starbucks coffee exclusively, made through that one cup Melitta
paper filter. Two scoops per 16 oz. of water. Kind of strong. Then
Amaretto flavored creamer and sugar. I also like the mocha flavored
Frappucinos. But they are darned expensive. I can make a palatable
substitute by brewing my coffee, adding ingredients, then putting the mug
into the fridge for an afternoon jolt.
