We have a place in OKC which takes starbuck's pretentiousness and ups the ante a bit. They serve the same $4.00 coffee, but if asked to serve it any way other than "black," you get the evil eye. Apparently, cream and such has a negative effect on their coffee's superior aroma/taste/andwhatnot.

Me, being only a medium-sized-(grande?)-pretentious individual, I've never been there. But my large-sized-(venti?)-pretentious friends think it's a veritable slice of heaven.

I drink instant-coffee heated in the microwave.
