Guest guest Posted December 6, 2001 Report Share Posted December 6, 2001 When I lapse and go back to drinking coffee, I often get a soya latte from Star Bucks. For this they heat up the soya milk which stops it curdling in the coffee. They have a separate jug for non-dairy milk, and the baristas should use a clean spoon (I had to teach one about this once). The one I go to has got a vegan guy working there, so the rest are made aware of finicky vegan's cross-contamination concerns, and while they don't have a separate spout, they do give it a good clean it before putting it in the soya milk (good enough for me, anyway). And for this I'm charged an extra 50p -- Rob vegan-network, demo <jallan@f...> wrote: > >My girlfriend had a coffee with soya milk in Starbuckís last week.
