Needs more caramel, please!

I must admit, I've been broke. So, I haven't been able to try anything terribly new, as I've either been making coffee that's already been reviewed at home, or drinking drek. Today is the first new report I've had to bring you.

Thornton's gas station. I think they have Dunkin' Donuts coffee, which is pretty darn good. But the display of options that goes along with it is a dream come true. Push a button on machine and it gives you sugar. Another machine dispenses cream. So, no making a mess when you peel open the little plastic tubs of creamer like at most gas stations. There's another machine that puts a tiny shot of liquid flavoring if you prefer, but when you push the button for that, it doesn't give you much. I usually have to push the button on the large coffee selection three times before I get something I can deal with. Anyhoo, there's hazelnut, french vanilla, caramel, and two other flavoring options. I just feel like I would have to push the button ten times just to get flavor at all. Maybe I need to be more of a purist and not need flavorings. ::shrug:: But it's $1.05 if you bring a to-go cup.

A good solid cup of coffee. Three out of five cups.
