Are you a latte fanatic? Well, with the plethora of coffee shops sitting on every street corner in America these days, the answer is probably yes. Even if you never cared for the classic drip pot blend, the big bad Starbucks coffee franchise has probably hooked you on some other new-age caffeinated beverage. I mean check out the vast selection. Imagine if you had walked into a contemporary Starbucks coffee franchise 30 years ago. You seriously wouldn't know what hit you. And you surely wouldn't recognize all those bizarre beverages as coffee.
Think about it. You have grande caramel macchiatos, venti mocha frapuccinos, and a slew of other modern espresso drinks. Regardless of how they've changed the java industry, one thing is for certain; the Starbucks coffee franchise has done for coffee, what McDonalds did for the cheeseburger.
You're probably lounging in a Starbucks coffee shop, sipping on a tall coconut latte this very minute. It's completely feasible you know. With WiFi connection in virtually every Starbucks coffee franchise around, anyone can get jacked into cyberspace. Okay, here's the big question. What is your absolute favorite caffeinated beverage derived from the Starbucks coffee franchise? I'm going to have to go with the iced white chocolate mocha. That drink is the bomb on a hot summer's day.
I must admit that I was rather taken back the first time I ever spotted a branch of the Starbucks coffee franchise back in the mid-nineties. You see, the first one I had tried was Gloria Jeans. It's just what was available. Me and my buddies would basically be hanging out at the local mall; probably looking at girls, and we'd pop in the coffee shop for an iced latte. Fortunately when the Starbucks coffee franchise came to full fruition, I no longer needed to settle for the less adequate chains. Finally there was a coffee business that was all about coffee.
My wife once told me that she could always count on any and every Starbucks coffee shop tasting the same regardless of which state we resided in or were traveling through. After testing out many across the country on road trips, I certainly have to agree. Anyway, when it comes to a cup of java, you can bet that the Starbucks coffee franchise is the biggest in the business. Try out one of their new frappuccinos today.
