I have no shame in my coffee game brother! :-)

:-) Funny story, when I was working undercover one of the guys I worked with was totally dirted out, the guy is big and just looked like a dirtbag, we would go into Starbucks and he would order some White Mocha Frappacinno or some sh!t and I would just laugh and wonder what people thought.

Good story Mike, I particularly enjoyed the middle section but the preface was interesting. After I finished reading it I felt fulfilled and satisfied, two sensations I had been longing for. Thank you.

Hey, on a hot day, I love a nice Blended Ice Frapp made with my Home Roast. I just dont/wont do the Starbucks thing.

That's my goal here, leave the green mermaid to her devices and make my own!

I'm right there with ya brother

I found another recipe:

Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino

Ingredients
•1/2 cup fresh espresso
•2 1/2 cups low fat milk (2 percent)
•1/4 cup granulated sugar
•1 tablespoon dry pectin

No idea where to find dry pectin, I assume it will do the same as the instant pudding.

I wrote an alternate ending for you Shane, goes like this.......:-)

Once again, a real edge of the seat thriller. That was well written and unpredictable! Really excited to read the prequel!

It left me satisfied :-)

Vitamix 1hp blender will be the last one you ever buy.
[Reply]

Thats what I use too. Works awesome.

I ain't gonna save you any money or nothing, but the blender is a deceptive whore. What YOU
NEED is a combination blender/ice shaver. It might be pricey, but MAN DOES IT RULE!!!!

Blending itself is a terrible way to break down ice into crystals, and what's more, it creates unwanted
heat which ruins the effect. A Jimmy Buffet Frozen Concoction Machine shaves the ice into the blender
and THEN combines-chops up the other ingredients and I ain't ashamed to say it, it kicks A55. There is
nothing worse in a blended drink than little ice chips. Say good bye to both ice chips and 2oo bucks. :-)

Sounds like a nice machine Brad!

My mouth is watering over here.
Fun Tip for Iced Coffee drinkers.
Instead of using water ice cubes which will dilute your coffee, put cool coffee in the ice tray and let it freeze. It seems so obvious but yeah.

Same can go with blended drinks as well I suppose.

I think I am going to cold brew some STRONG coffee this weekend and strain it into a container and
make myself some frozen java drinks. I am not a coffee drinker, but on the weekends I am game for anything.
During the week, I needs my beauty sleep. My mother and father both could and usually DID drink a cup of
coffee before bedtime....weird.

Look at the puffy little lilt on the top of that banana daiquiri, though....Doesn't it ALMOST make you wanna
spend 200 bucks on a freaking blender? Almost, anyway.
