Sorry to be the one to spoil the fun, but I wanted to give a short anti-Starbucks rant, using this opportunity. @Raithmir , please do not take it as a personal criticism of yourself, rather some food for thought regarding our consumer choices. Starbucks wants to project the image of a cool, trendy and friendly company. They insist on calling you by your first name, they're located in all the coolest and most accessible places, they want you to be seen carrying a cup with their logo on it. Nothing wrong with that, I guess. They just want to make money, which is fine in and of itself. But the niceties end when we leave the realm of public image. Turns out, they're a pretty nasty corporation on the inside. Their business ethics is questionable, to say the least, and on top of that they're guilty of a cardinal sin against all serious coffee lovers - they deliberately sell shitty coffee. One early example of their ruthlessness is the case against Kieron Dwyer (http://cbldf.org/about-us/case-files/cbldf-case-files/dwyer/), in which an American cartoonist incorporated a version of their logo into his satire on consumerism. The Starbucks lawyers responded with a heavy crackdown targeted at Dwyer, and meant to crush him. This alone would be enough for me to boycott them, but there's much more. There have been repeated attempts to bust labor movements among Starbucks employees. More details can be found in this petition: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-the-petition-to-starbucks-halt-all-union-busting-tactics There's also a long-ish article on Wikipedia, describing various controversies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Starbucks. As for coffee quality, there's plenty of criticism as well, spanning the poor quality of the beans themselves, roasting methods detrimental to the taste, and mediocrity as a result of striving for uniformity. Some articles on that topic: To wrap up this too long rant. Be good to yourselves. You deserve better than Starbucks! Cheers

WojciechGacYou realize you're responding to a photo from four years ago, posted by a user who hasn't been on the site since 2019?

It's so...perfect.
( I'm loving the keycap color palette. Would love to get a set of similar retro RGB keycaps for my K-Type...if only sets weren't $100+... )
