I like my coffee black
I don’t even drink coffee! But we just got this crazy Starbucks Interactive Cup Brewer at work that brews fresh coffee for you on the spot. I really haven’t had a cup of coffee in years, but it’s new, it’s facinating, and I have to try it right?
So here’s what I think about it:
- It’s cool that you can choose the cup size, and then just leave your cup there. That way you can just chat with someone while waiting for your coffee.
- I also like the finite progress bar. It takes some time to get your coffee, but at least you know how much longer you have.
- The coffee is nice and hot! And I love scorching hot!!! So if it burns my mouth, then it’s just right.
- So if the coffee is close to scorching hot, I assume the hot water option is the same temperature. That makes me happy because my green tea is not tasty luke warm.
- As for the taste… honestly I don’t drink coffee enough to know the difference in flavor. I guess it tastes….. like coffee? It’s not spectacular, nor bad.
My wish list:
- I wish it would make green tea
- And green tea lattes… mmmm
- Where’s the hot cocoa?
- Frappuccinos! But good thing it doesnt make Fraps…because that just would not be good for me at all.

The coffee doesn’t taste that great to me. The Hot Coca better be totally amazing!

Dang, you sure like your green tea. Personally I don’t think the machine looks “starbucky” enough, it is all black and silver and I think of Starbucks as mostly green.

[...] Last week Elizabeth (my hero) on the admin team here at Homestead put a Starbucks machine in our kitchen. It grinds, brews and pours each cup on demand. Great, great stuff! It also brews hot cocoa that tastes pretty good! Tenshi, an anonymous Homestead blogger shares her opinion of the coffee and cocoa on her blog, here. [...]
