Missouri Bar Responds To Cease And Desist From Starbucks With Epic Letter And $6 Check

[Hekate]

33. Personally I like strong coffee. I want the spoon to feel supported as it stands up in the cup.

It's all a matter of taste, but if you ever darken their door again just be clear as to your needs. I want, generally, a plain cup of black coffee that I can then pour some half-and-half in and still taste the coffee. I like a dark-brewed, or French roast, or bold coffee. I ask for it. I look at their "brew of the day" board.

They've experimented this year with something called a "Blonde Roast" which doesn't sound attractive to me, but you might like it. You can specify that you are looking for a plain cup of coffee in a lighter roast, that you don't care for the bold flavors, and you should be able to get it off the "brew of the day."

If you don't like the frothy milky stuff (waste of money, imo) and can't see the plain cuppa joe listed because of the plethora of other offerings, ask to have it pointed out.

Better luck next eon.
