Starbucks $10 pork-flavored coffee

That&#x27;s hilarious, but also not totally crazy.<p>Doing ground coffee rubs on meats like steak or bacon or pork tenderloin is a thing. People eat bacon at breakfast and wash it down with black coffee. They&#x27;re actually pretty complementary flavors, so it all comes down to the exact execution.<p>It&#x27;s actually the milkiness of the latte together with the pork that gives me pause. I think it would really come down to the &quot;Dongpo pork sauce&quot; that flavors it all, if it successfully ties them all together. I&#x27;m curious what its flavors consist of.

Excellent product localization.<p>I&#x27;m truly surprised the pork&#x2F;bacon craze of the past few decades in the US did not produce pork&amp;bacon coffee.<p>I feel like the beanie wearing SF&#x2F;Portland&#x2F;Seattle hipsters let us all down. My question to them today would be: What would you say...you do here?

Well, they are now going to have a hard time proving they are Halal certified.

I&#x27;d drink it. Doesn&#x27;t even sound that strange really. What shocks me is the cost. That&#x27;s not PPP folks, that is $9.50 USD in a country that most Americans still think of as third-world and full of nothing but sweatshops.

While you&#x27;re at SB, suggest a new UX or even new POS system.<p>UX tip screen doesn&#x27;t say what to do, and selection arrows are tiny. Then, you have to hit the green enter button at bottom of pad (no prompt, and it&#x27;s not green anymore after 1000 uses). People keep pecking at the screen thinking it&#x27;s touch. I hit the wrong button, so cashier tried to fix it and unplugged it.<p>Boot time is 3 minutes. Of course, it locked up on the IP address screen so took another reboot.

&gt; Its biggest competitor in the country famously has a cheese-flavored latte.<p>Actually Starbucks has that too, you can get it in 7-11. It&#x27;s not like it has a &#x27;Cheesy&#x27; flavor though; more of a creamy dairy thing to it. &#x27;Cheese&#x27; is a pretty common addition to dessert drinks in China and to my Western tastes is pretty good.

Can&#x27;t be worse than bacon vodka [1] - probably not as bad as you imagine, but I still tossed back the bottom half of the shot in a hurry and didn&#x27;t ask for another.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.blackrockspirits.com&#x2F;bakon-vodka&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.blackrockspirits.com&#x2F;bakon-vodka&#x2F;</a>

Gotta keep the gimmicks coming. Or just train your baristas on an Italian espresso machine and use fresh roasted, lighter roasted beans. But the brand is gimmicks.

Reminds me of the smbc comic about how &quot;pumpkin spice&quot; doesn&#x27;t contain pumpkin, and could just as easily be called pork spice. Except this has actual pork flavour.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.smbc-comics.com&#x2F;comic&#x2F;spice" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.smbc-comics.com&#x2F;comic&#x2F;spice</a>

* No coffee plants were harmed in making this drink.

Still waiting for the mackerel ice cream.

I too have made coffee with hotdog water.<p>You can drink it?

What crazy thing will they think next?<p>Pineapple on pizza?

Unrelated but can someone explain to me, on the way into the office the local Starbucks had a coffee with olive oil I think? Is this not as absurd &amp; crazy as it sounds? What the heck is going on?

I wonder if it&#x27;s halal?

Wait till they discover Starbucks has been selling coffee flavoured milkshakes all this time.

I mean bacon infused whatevers are not unheard of in desserts and cocktails.
