Starbucks Vs Coffee Bean

Once Upon a time many moons ago, i worked in Coffee Bean for the semester break. Those were the days when i get to have a glass of aaaannnnyyyy kind of coffee/drink i would like each day. Even before then i was an avid coffee drinker. Which explains the fact of why i chose to work there. Other than the fact that they were one of the higher paying part time employers around.

My love with Coffee Bean actually began when my uncle brought us all on a treat to coffee bean for ice blended. It was indeed heaven. So when i was working there, and had my share of coffee, there was once when Starbucks the rival was giving out free sample. I took one sip of it and told myself no way am I ever going to be a fan of Starbucks because they have too much milk in their coffee. I love the kick of the strong coffee taste which Coffee Bean provides.

Even after i stopped working there i still had to have my once in a while fill especially of their iced caremel latte. But then they closed the pyramid branch. And the rest of the ppl were more inclined to Starbucks. So i made do with having my coffee from there when they decided to meet up there. I did go back to the branch in taipan for my caremel latte once. But they screwed up my order. Just recently they reopened in Pyramid and last weekend i decided to reignite my old flame with Coffee Bean and went to order an iced caramel latte. To my horror, i find that i actually prefered Starbucks' caramel macchiato over Coffee Bean's iced caramel latte. What have these 7 yrs done to me. I could not believe myself.

But anyways what i didnt like was their vanilla powder which they add to the coffee. Wierdly enough it didnt melt completely and caused the drink to have a grainy feel to it. It is so sad. But i think i am still not giving up. Next time i will order an iced latte to test water. I really want to rediscover my love with Coffee Bean. Starbucks is over rated.
