You can use those certificates to buy some of that great Ipanema Bourbon (from Brazil of course). It is seasonal though, and I am not sure it is available yet.

From: feniks Stone 3? 3.60 - with tip its 4! but mmMMMmm.... Maybe the water where you are is different but a Starbucks latte is to die for...  fen-Okay, I bought a latte at Starbucks this morning since we were totally out of coffee and I had to go there to buy some more. My grande latte cost me $2.95 plus $.23 tax (Washington State sales tax is 7.7%, food items aren't taxed but prepared food items are). Conversely, my two one-pound bags of ground Starbucks coffee cost me $11.65 and $10.15 respectively, and each one should last my husband and me about two weeks. We have a decent coffee maker at home, too. It's an acceptable compromise for us, we get to drink good coffee but don't pay for daily lattes and don't have to endure the giggle-inducing, suburban-people-trying-to-look-urban-hip crowd at Starbucks each morning.  By the way, I recommend the Sulawesi or Sumatra coffee blends at Starbucks if you purchase their coffee in bulk; both are considered "dark and rich" blends, though, so they might be too strong for some people's taste. I'll keep an eye out for the Ipanema Bourbon blend, thanks for the heads-up, Pituca!
