Call me a glutton for punishment but it was FREE COFFEE DAY at Charbucks, so I had to visit and try out their newest blend (to combat McDonald’s coffee which kicks their ass), Pikes Peak.  I get there at 4:00 pm. . .

“sorry, the free coffee was only at 9am!”

damn them!

“but we give out samples all the time for any coffee”

ok, they are forgiven.  I get my little paper cup, the kind that you pee in at the doctor’s office filled with coffee.

“this coffee is ground and brewed every 30 minutes. . . blah blah blah. . .” 

I ask if it is a lighter roast. . .

“it’s in between a light and a dark roast.  people who like dark roasts will enjoy it and people who want a smoother taste will also love it. . . blah blah blah”

I take my coffee, while my fingers are burning, put in a little half and half and sip it. . .

and the verdict is. . .

ASS!

Yes, Charbucks coffee roasted every 30 minutes still tastes like Charbucks coffee.  If you love that freshly burnt taste to your brew, then go out and get yourself a free sample!  Which brings me to my newest idea. . . since they give out sample cups, and there is a Starbucks on every corner:

1.  Buy yourself a thermos

2.  Go to nearest Starbucks and get a sample of coffee

3.  Pour sample into thermos

4.  Drive to next Starbucks

5.  Repeat steps 2 through 4 until thermos is full

6. (optional) give coffee to your worst enemy.

Do this at various times of the day until they start to recognize you.
