well I can say this, the best cup of coffee i have had as of late occurred just this past sat. night at the starbucks on utica. i can say it was the best, because it was made exactly as i ordered it! how often does that happen?  I personally, like really hot coffee, and no matter how many times i ask for it to be &quot;extra hot&quot; it never happens so it seems. But when i ordered my peppermint mocha, w/ skim milk, extra hot, and light whip. it came exactly that way. <br /><br />I do remember my first real coffee exp. was at nordaggios when i was in high school and i have been hooked ever since.  love love love coffee... and would love to add Topeca coffee to my regular coffee regimine!
