She popped up to the counter where there were two or three people in front of her. After some 20 minutes of standing, she arrived back with two coffees.
We had the smallest americano (with hot milk) and the cup size was ridiculously large. This naturally spilled quickly into the saucers which were designed with a crazy, off-centre groove for the base of the cup.
It lacked any coffee flavour but did manage to have a taste which I described as a cross between house dust and metal.
I couldn't drink it. This rubbish cost us nearly FOUR quid!
NEVER again - we'll go thirsty. (So it's not just Starbucks which needs to be criticised!)
