Personally, I drink Starbucks once in a blue moon as a treat - not for superior coffee flavor, but because I want a giant, sugary dessert beverage. At one time I drank a large cup/week, but then I came to my senses.

My normal morning coffee is brewed at home using fresh, but mass-produced beans (usually one of Trader Joe's varieties).

I'm going through this right now with trying to wean myself off a bubble tea habit. There are just so many amazing options near my office and I have at least one giant one per week. The struggle is real.

How did you successfully cut down?

I cheated...

Last year, I was diagnosed with celiac disease, so I could no longer eat Starbucks food. I often grabbed my large coffee along with a pastry or sandwich.

Will power not required. Sorry I can't be of any help.
