Many of my friends swear by the coffee sold at the campus pseudo-grocery. It’s cheap and tasty, they say.
I’ve tried it before and didn’t really care for it. It tastes weird to me and it completely fails to give me a caffeine boost. But the store moved to a new location recently and acquired a new fancy coffee dispenser, so I felt compelled to give it another chance. The other campus coffee places charge close to $3 for 8 ounces of an espresso drink (the regular coffee is cheap, but it’s basically caffeinated swill), and the closest decent coffee shop is almost 15 minutes away on foot. It will change my life if I can get good, cheap coffee nearby.
I go to the store, grab a cup, hit the button marked “Latte”, hand the cashier my $2, and go on my merry way.
First sip.
Lattes are not supposed to be sugary-sweet. Blech. I’m probably expecting too much from a machine that spits out ready-made lattes, but it’s not rocket science to not put sugar in a drink that’s not supposed to have sugar in it.
Last sip.
No caffeine boost. In fact, I am sleepy, thanks to all the sugar.
I want my $2 back.
