Starbucks employees have really confused me...

As I was waiting patiently for my overpriced chai, I took a look at the board describing the brews of the day. And the staff is so helpful that they describe the taste for you - earthy, nutty, etc. They described one as 'elegant.'


Can anyone help solve this mystery for me? What DOES an 'elegant' tasting coffee really taste like? I won't be able to work the rest of the day while contemplating this very serious matter...

'Earthy' tastes like the F Train.

'Elegant' tastes like you're sipping coffee at the Russian Tea Room.

'Earthy' tastes like the F Train.

Hmmm, I don't know....I think more along the lines of 'Tangy' when I think about the F train...something about metal and urine....

Earthy to me is the NR platform at Times Square...but maybe that's just me.

To tell you the truth, i never taste whatever the coffee is described as - I love coffee, don't get me wrong - but everything just tastes like... well... coffee to me!!!

Liza, that picture really frightens me
