'handcrafted' sort of sounds homely and wholesome, while 'perfect' isn't so evocative. in general i like the atmosphere at caribou more than starbucks. and the caribou in elgin is probably the best in the region. of the half dozen or so (maybe more) caribou coffees that i have visited in chicagoland, the one in elgin just has the best layout and ambience, and their hours are great. i just wish they had lemon. i don’t know. ‘handcrafted’ sort of sounds homely and wholesome, while ‘perfect’ isn’t so evocative. in general i like the atmosphere at caribou more than starbucks. and the caribou in elgin is probably the best in the region. of the half dozen or so (maybe more) caribou coffees that i have visited in chicagoland, the one in elgin just has the best layout and ambience, and their hours are great. i just wish they had lemon.

In my mail I found a card from them for one free "perfect oatmeal." I don't have the time to pursue with Starbucks the exact meaning of "perfect" in this context, but it obviously trumps mere "handcrafted."

I hope I live long enough to enjoy my retirement and I hope there is still social security for me in 10 years when I will be 67.

On their web site it talks about being able to customize it.
