I did not taste my drink prior to leaving the store; hence no formal complaint was registered directly. I used to go to Starbuck's every day. Little by little I changed my drink choices because the expresso drinks tasted "stale" as if the grounds had not been cleared and the ground holder properly cleaned. I grew up in New Orleans so I know coffee from an early age. We had coffee bottles and I remember asking for mine in my highchair, hence the love of lattes as an adult. I am also a true Italian, hold the passport, so I also know expresso. What is all of this leading to? Years ago I changed my Starbuck's order to chai because the expresso drinks were substandard in my opinion.
After not going to Starbuck's for a very long time, I went this morning to order a tall double chai latte with skim milk. Once in the car and on my way, I tasted it and it was chai mixed with expresso. I really do want to frequent Starbuck's but the first time quality is no longer there and has not been for a very long time.
