A new experience for me staying last night in a newly renovated Regency Club room at the Hyatt Regency Denver at the Colorado Convention Center: New in-room coffee makers with foil packets of Starbucks (Verona Dark).

The coffee makers themselves are similar technology to the existing, with the coffee pods fitting into a tray that slides into the coffee maker. The difference being the coffee is branded Starbucks coffee.

Still the same little lame combo packets of sugar, sweetener and creamer. Trashing both packets to get just two creamers that barely impact the color of the mega-strong coffee is still a drag for me as a 'coffee with cream' drinker.

I really wish hotels would figure this out and just put a handful of loose packets into a tray so that we can have enough of what we want without having to trash everything else. @:-)
