I’m a simple man. I live a simple life. I don’t need a lot of fancy things, especially when it comes to my coffee. But sometimes it can be a challenge to find just some regular ‘ol java.

My buddy (and our awesome engineer) Ben and I recently took a work-related trip over to St. Louis. We stayed in a really nice hotel that had a Starbucks in the lobby. We wake up in the morning, hoping to get a nice cup of Joe, so we head down to the Starbucks. Well you can’t just order a regular coffee at Starbucks…they look at you like you’re an idiot. Instead, you see words on their menu like Espresso Macchiato, Café Misto, Hazelnut Latte and Carmel Mocha. And the sizes? Ain’t no such thing as a small, medium or large…instead you get to choose between Solo and Doppio, or Short, Tall, Grande and Venti.

Seriously…what's a guy gotta do to get a black coffee with some sugar?
