Cherveny had this to say about Pirotess:
I've always found the skills or lack of skills of the barristas at a coffee shop usually make all the difference as to whether the drinks will taste any good or not. There are so many small shops that obviously don't train their workers very consistantly, and thus one barrista will end up making great drinks, whereas another barrista at the same shop will make crap.
I wouldn't blame it all on the baristas or the small shop owners. Most coffee shops run through employees because it's minimum wage work plus tips (and you'd be surprised how many people buy a $5 drink and don't tip at all) so they are constantly training new hires. I'd blame a lot of it on the customer and how precise they want their drink. Not many people walk into a coffee house, order a regular cup of coffee, and go about their way.

If I buy a $5 drink at what equates to a fast food joint, I don't expect to have to tip.
I really can't think of any jokes to make about this situation, but if I'm buying a $5 drink and it's not mixed, at a bar, I will fistfight you for my change.

Yeah, really. If that skinny whipped frappafuckio doesn't have a double shot of Jameson in it, there's no goddamned reason to pay five goddamned dollars for it.
But then again, I don't usually drink coffee.

Ummm the people who order that shit usually aren't drinking coffee either, they're just drinking a cup full of sugar with a Starbucks logo on it.
Actually, that sounds tremendously disgusting. Anyway, PM me for once!

No, I'm getting a full cup of steamed milk with a shot of espresso and a hint of sugar in the form of caramel and vanilla flavoring.
Caramel Macciato
A shot of espresso is good (by itself), but not really enough to satisfy my coffee requirements.
Still doesn't stop me drinking it though. As long as I don't go over my self-imposed limit.
or symbiote oh god
