Not an ideal combination in my experience. (TikTok screencap)
Please don’t consume Starbucks. They have a reputation for buying from farms in Brazil and Guatemala that employe slave labor and child labor.
EDIT: Starbucks also abuses the Italian language. None of their drinks are what they claim to be. That mocha you had is too large to be a mocha.
And it tastes like burnt shit.
Isn't that the case with just about every coffee producer?
No it is not.
There are plenty of artisinal coffee roasters that source beans ethically.
And don't burn them to a crisp.
There’s ones near me that grow their own beans in greenhouses
Please don’t say artisanal. That is a bullshit word. There is such a thing called speciality which is a technical term for coffee that is graded at 80-100 points. If you are using words like artisanal or gourmet, you are not knowable. Those in my opinion are bullshit words that make poor quality coffee sound fancy and super gross.
I only drink speciality.
...ok...
Eh, everyone does it, why not throw the known slavers some cash?
The Starbucks CEO commutes from Southern California to Washington on his private jet every single day.
They also have a reputation for making themselves the most important figure in those economies by building hospitals and schools for the families of the farmhands.
Edit: this is not praise
Back in 2019 during the commodity crisis when the price was below a $1, they pretended to contribute lots of money to helping their farmers. The company publicly announced they were donating money to the farms they owned. That amount based on available financial data suggested that that money was equal to a single afternoon’s profits.
The point here is that Starbucks could have been contributing to the falling price of commodities, which they should have released more current financial data for. More transparency would have given a better idea if they were having a positive or negative impact. What this all boiled down to was simply saying what they paid their farms. If they did that, it would have been better.

that's really just milk and sugar
You cannot tell If there is any sugar or sweetener of any kind in that drink, however statistically likely it has it or not.
Secondly if that is a cold brew coffee which is what it looks like to me, you are absolutely incorrect. Cream isn't milk, and it makes a coffee look exactly like that. Most non dairy creamers also look the same way. Almond milk in my experience is a bit thinner and is more like actual milk than cream or oat milk, but still that cup looks like it is mostly coffee and ice
How fucking tall is that drink? And yes, this is a setup to tell me it is not a tall but a grande or whatever bullshit that is.
18-20 oz liquid. Cup is a Venti, 26 oz.
Narrator: It did not help.
Sometimes the mix of not getting enough sleep and a bit of coffeine makes me extremely energetic, and not anxious for some reason, lol. It's like I no longer have some kind of blockade in my brain.
But in the long run... well... it's not good.
I just drink it to stay awake
A colleague of mine had a habit of dousing espressos upon having anxiety episodes. Naturally, she ended up having a cardiac episode (not an attack but something similar) a couple of years later and now she doesn't like any form of coffee
Calm down, Tweak. Here, have some coffee.
That's one and a half cups of espresso. Insane amounts of caffeine, borderline lethal.
TIL a double espresso is deadly
Usually caffeine poisoning symptoms start at about 500mg, but borderline lethal is in the ballpark of several grams in couple hours. Basically every known case of caffeine poisoning is from pure caffeine or caffeine pills etc.
I was making a joke.
Two double espresso would put you at somewhere between 400mg and 800mg of caffeine. Half of Italy would just be living in a hospital full time.
Caffeine poisoning starting at 500mg is the same as alcohol poisoning starting when you feel nauseated.
Brain Implosion Energy
10,000 grams of pure caffeine
Because you can’t overthink if your heart stops.
energy drink: 100g caffeie, 400g water. enough energy for the rest of your life :D
Edit: removed incorrect quantities about health limits of caffeine, don't comment at 2am, friends. Left the article here tho.
According to your link, toxic dose is >10g/day and not 1g
Toxic doses, over 10 grams per day for an adult, greatly exceed the typical dose of under 500 milligrams per day.
Also, >500mg/day will not send you to the hospital...sincerely me, drinking 3-4 double espresso (that's ~150mg/cup) before lunch at work. Healthy? No doubt it isn't...but also very far from lethal.
Ah sorry, 2am commenting moment
It'll cure your anxiety once and for all
I'm in this image and I don't like it.
