I havn’t heard of the Custom Blended Frappuccino before. I live in Cali, so I wonder if that hasn’t come here yet, or if it will. It looks really good! I like that you could adjust sweetness!

Melody – I really enjoy your blog. It’s refreshing to hear honest opinions without regard for the corporate party line. Keep up the great work!

Interesting. When we tested them waaay back when in our neck of the woods, the frappuccino bases weren’t sweetened, so we added classic. The perk to this was that we carried sugar free classic during that time, and could thus make a sugar free frappuccino.

This is short and sweet. I love how the whip looks like (or with) the sky on Melody’s frap. I think that drink is a poem.

Thanks for your post…. I’m curious about one aspect of the custom Frapp….. How is the texture? But then again you ordered one with soy, so I don’t know if that could compare to one made with milk.
I know that on occasion when I drink Frapps I order an Espresso Frapp(made w/shots) which seems to have a different texture than an ordinary coffee Frapp.

I think it’s interesting that the custom Frappuccino base is sweetened. I’d be curious to see how an unsweetened coffee/espresso Frappuccino would taste. (Probably like an iced latte, but thicker and blended.) Of course, most people would want theirs sweetened, and a regular coffee Frappuccino tastes all right to me as-is.

In many ways, I don’t look forward to the holidays. What I do look forward to is buying Starbucks Christmas blend. My husband and I bought it every year for years. To me it’s a comfort beverage. It’s an integral part of Christmas.

Katherine your comment makes me laugh! One thing for sure, with this new crazily customizable frappuccino, you could really end up with some amazingly high maintenance frappuccinos. Decaf-Soy-Add-RistrettoShot-ExtraSimpleSyrup … It *could* be a nightmare! And I’ve read the same comments on MSI, and it seems like the proportion of people complaining about the new Frappuccino is still outweighed by the large number of people crying out for a soy frappuccino. At times, I’m half tempted to refer MSI participants to my blog …
