Frappuccinos, anyone?

[Redwallfan7]

I love those... cold coffee is really good.

Don't take offense to my response, but they are disgusting calorie bombs.  All coffee needs is a bit of sugar and cream to take the edge off of it.  Places like Starbucks take an otherwise healthy beverage, and make it worse than sodas.  I will never pay more than $2 for coffee.

They're ok as a dessert item but I couldn't drink them often.  I have a horrendous sweet tooth and they're even a bit sweet for my taste.  I do like homemade iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk though.

Well, everyone has different opinions. *shrugs* Anyway, I only drink them sometimes.

No, I don't see how anyone could be offended by that. :|

i never drink any coffee ever. it is disgustingly bitter, in my opinion. a few hours on the computer in the morining is what helps me wake up XD

[Trigoma]

Wish I had the money to buy some.

what is a Frappuccino?

what is a Frappuccino?

It's a sweetened coffee, with extra sugar, and sometimes caramel and whipped cream are added.

It's a blended beverage from Starbucks (kind of like a milkshake, but there's no ice cream, it's just blended with milk and ice), that comes in many different flavors. There are coffee-based ones, and non-coffee like vanilla bean, strawberry and cream, green tea, etc. You can do pretty much any combination of flavors Starbucks has, and they're highly customizable (even moreso since the recipe changed a couple years ago).

I'm not a big fan, personally, since I prefer strong coffee (I do flavor too, but I love my iced americano with extra shots, or my iced double shot in the dark--that's two shots of espresso in a drip coffee, for those that don't know). I've figured out some good combos, though. I've actually considered making a thread with drink ideas for those that like Starbucks...I've got lots of customized ideas that people seem to adore when I make samples. I actually even have an entirely original drink recipe I've come up with that's a HUGE hit anytime someone tries it...I always get told I should submit it to the company. I'm sorta smug about that drink.

I also really love cappuccinos, especially during the Christmas season

[UNKN0WN]

not much of a coffee drinker

[Redwallfan7]

My cousin loves coffee. My friend drinks coffee every day. I think that's a little too much, I love  coffee but I wouldn't want to drink it every day.

[Endar Feyblade]

mmmm, I love frapps!

[Skipper]

Strangley I find it nice, turns out my dog likes the vanilla and cappucino flavour.
