Topic: Just went to Starbucks to use the last of a gift card I got for Christmas.

Anonymous A started this discussion 9 years ago #64,472

Ordered a tall coffee. Nothing fancy, just plain black coffee. Pretty hard to mess up, especially from a company that specializes in gourmet coffee. Even McDonalds has decent coffee for god's sake.

It was absolutely disgusting. Like the shitty coffee they have for free at the bank that's been left in the pot all day.


Every time I've been to Starbucks in my life it's been a disappointment. How does Starbucks stay in business?!?

Because ordinary coffee is NOT what you should order there. That is NOT what they are in business4

Order from the machine that is what they are in business4

Burnt and acidic.

I think part of the problem is I order regular coffee. I see a lot of customers ordering drinks with whipped cream, milk, caramel, chocolate, etc and perhaps that tastes better because it covers up the shitty coffee underneath.

Order a basic espresso or anything based on such without caramel etc

When I've got coffee from there it's always pretty good. I'm afraid syntax may be right here!

"In 2016, Starbucks' revenue amounted to approximately 21,32 billion U.S. dollars"

Clearly it is a successful company

Most people want confectionery drinks that have more sugar than a piece of cake and more fat than 100 grams(1/4 pound for americlaps) of rib-eye steak; they also want pastries with the same thing. That's how they stay in business!
