I don't know a mocha! Except now I do, I guess. Thanks for teaching me! Now if people ask me about it I can tell them that I know it's chocolate in your coffee. ;D I don't do coffee of any kind. Even the smell of the stuff gives me a headache. With most coffee shops it's not too bad, and I can tolerate being inside them for a little while. But Starbucks, nope, if I set one foot inside (or if someone is sitting near me drinking Starbucks) I'll be in intense head-splitting pain for at least 20 minutes even after I get away. I learned the other day from my friend who's a barrista that it's because Starbucks uses a bunch of different types of beans in their coffee, and since different beans have different roasts but they don't want to serve undercooked beans or whatever, they just roast EVERYTHING the maximum amount and therefore there are a lot of beans that are burnt/overroasted. The secret to why Starbucks hates me! Aha. But that's probably why Starbucks coffee has a distinct taste that appeals to some people, also, I'd guess.
