Ewww. Bug in Coffee from Local Coffee Shop.

[Anonymous]

DH just got back from getting coffee at our favorite local Bethesda coffee shop. And there was a bug in my coffee. So gross. I don't think I will ever go there again. Locally roasted, yay. Extra protein, BOO.

But what kind of a bug? If it was a fly, it's hard to see how they could control it. Cockroach, different story.

A roach floating in the latte swirl on top. Probably was in the cup. I am so grossed out I don't think I will ever drink coffee again. Thank GOD I took the top off to stir in some splenda.

While I understand and empathize with your grief over this disgusting episode, I thought we had all agreed that "ew" just has to go-and you put it in the heading of all places, making it unavoidable even without reading the thread. PS-what coffee shop? The one next to Bethesda Bagels?

Yeah, most restaurants have them... they're practically impossible to eliminate when you're storing food and receiving food deliveries. They should make an effort to keep the numbers down low enough that the patrons don't see them, though.

Yes, the one next to the bagel store and BN. You are right about the use of "EW", as it reminds me of dirty dice. Lapse of judgement due to my lack of coffee and near gag-experience.

I'd tolerate an "ew" from OP in light of her startling experience.

I agree. So gross in coffee though. I am sure they are in all food establishments but in my coffee cup?

OK-we'll allow her one "ew" (which she already used up) two future "yucks" and one "totally gross". And I am truly not trying to minimize the nauseatingness of this situation.

Thanks for understanding! I actually do not think I will be able to eat anything today. My state of being grossed out is just getting worse by the minute. And DH thinks it is funny because it was not his coffee!!

While this would definately rate a seven or eight on the Gag-O-Meter for general barfworthiness, I think you have to rate at least an eleven before you can even think about saying "ew". Also, think about the poor bug-"Jesus, a soccer mom almost drank me-whew!"

True, true. And now some bug colony is missing their mom and aunt and sister and grandma. I destroyed an entire community in my need for a designer latte.

Oh wait. He/she was already dead. Boiled to death I am sure. Just floating there in the milk. I hope it was a quick, painless death.

I, however, now need therapy. This could turn out to be the weightloss dream I was hoping for.

You use "nauseatingness" but not "ew"??? Is Ew too low brow for you or what?
