My area is fairly inexpensive according to the National Coffee Blog - which found thet "Apr 26, 2019 · The average price consumers are
paying for a cup of coffee across all restaurant categories (quick and full service) is $2.99" YIKES.

Our daughter is a big fan of Starbucks, and neither Gail nor I can
understand the attraction. I think that their "coffee" is even more
expensive than that $2.99 you quoted. I will admit that when we visited
Hap in Tacoma, he took us to a coffee shop (not SB) and the coffee was
quite good. My memory is foggy, but I think it was not too far north of
$1.00 per mug. There were a lot of people sipping their coffee and
using the WiFi for browsing with their laptops.

Title: Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake
Categories: Dessert, Breakfast, Testing
Yield: 8 Servings

MMMMM---------------------------BATTER--------------------------------
3 c All purpose flour
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
3 pk RapidRise Yeast
1 c Milk (120-130 degrees hot)
1/2 c Butter
2 lg Eggs

MMMMM----------------------CINNAMON MIXTURE---------------------------
3 tb Butter
3/4 c Brown sugar
1 1/2 ts Cinnamon

MMMMM---------------------------ICING--------------------------------
1 c Powdered sugar
1 tb Up to 2 tb milk
1 tb Butter, melted
1/2 ts Vanilla extract

BATTER
Spray one 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 glass baking pan with spray.

In large mixing bowl, combine flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and
salt.

Heat milk and butter until 120 to 130 degress (test with therometer),
temper eggs with some of the milk and pour milk and eggs into the dry
ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all flour is mixed using a rubber
spatula.

**See suggestion note below about dividing batter

Pour batter into baking pan and set aside while preparing topping.

CINNAMON MIXTURE:

Combine ingredients with pastry blender or forks until mixture is
crumbly and uniform.

Sprinkle cinnamon mixture over batter and using fingers, poke topping
throughly into batter. Allow mixture to rest 10 minutes.

Place coffee cake into COLD Oven. Turn oven to 350 degrees. Bake 25
~ 30 minutes OR until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
(Mine baked for 25 min) Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.

ICING:
Combine ingredients in a small mixing bowl or measuring cup, stir
until uniform. Drizzle over top of coffee cake using spoon or fork.

I did not use icing.

SUGGESTION:
Place half of batter in prepared pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon
mixture over batter, poke holes in batter. Spread rest of batter over
this - sprinkle with remaining cinnamon mixture and again poke holes
in batter.

Considering this is a yeast bread, it tastes more like a regular cake
with cinnamon. Tastes good - will try again.

I don't "get it" either WRT Starbucks. The way they have grown and metastasised is more a tribute to their marketoids than to their (some
what dubious) product line-up.

The big coffee chain other than Star$ is probably Peet's Coffee. Peet's
is based in Gay Bay (San Fransisco) Californica. According to Trip Advisor
they kick Starbuck's heinie where ever they are in direct competition.

Personally I like my coffee straight up. Black and bitter. And robust.
My go-to coffee for home brewing is Maxwell House Ultra Bold. If I go
back to grinding my own (and blending the beenz) I'll make my own mix
using 2 parts Dark Roast, 1 part Columbian Roast and 1 part French Roast.

Title: Australian Pork w/Port & Coffee Sauce
Categories: Pork, Sauces, Australian, Wine
Yield: 8 Servings

4 3/8 lb Pork loin; boned (2 kg)
1 c Strong coffee
1/2 c Cream
1/3 c Port
2 ts Sugar
1/4 c Water
2 ts Cornstarch

Set oven @ 350┬║F/175┬║C.

Remove rind from pork and trim fat to make a 1 cm layer.
Roll and tie the meat. Weight pork and calculate cooking
time, allow 25-30 mins. per 500 gr (1 pound) Place meat
in roasting pan. Roast pork for 30 mins.

Combine coffee, 1/4 c. cream, 1/4 c port & sugar, pour
over pork. Continue roasting pork for calculated cooking
time, basting pork every 15 mins with coffee mixture.
This basting gives the outside a beautiful golden glaze
and helps to keep the meat moist.

Remove pork from oven when cooked. Keep covered in a
warm place while making the sauce.

Skim fat from the pan juices. Place juices in a small
saucepan with water, remaining 1/4 c cream, remaining
port and cornstarch. Cook until thickened, strain.

Slice pork thinly and place a tablespoon or two of sauce
on each serving. Remaining sauce should be available for
guests to add more.
