It actually amazes me how over caffeinated Americans are and I marvel how they can propogate the same trend across the globe.

What ever happened to Barrista... Unless Star bucks starts selling cutting-chai for 4 bucks, I'm not going there.

Can't imagining myself doling out Rs 100 and saying "1 cafe late ,grande, extra hot"

I myself have never been too fond of Starbucks coffee either....love a lot of their other stuff like hot chocolate and Italian soda's but their coffee is not to my taste.

Barista is upgrading some its stores to Cremes where it will be charging higher prices and providing more of an atmosphere than the regular cafes.
