Another problem with Starbucks: Their coffee sux.
And it goes downhill from there.

Pretty much everyone I know says Starbucks coffee tastes burnt - and I agree.

I can’t imagine what they are doing in their processing to get everyone to agree so uniformly on a negative opinion.

I have never had a good cup of coffee at an Italian establishment. Cappuccino, yes. The best. Latte, yes. The best. Espresso, yes. The best. Americano, yes. The best. The coffee, however, always tastes like espresso. If I wanted espresso, I would have ordered it.

Starbucks followed the Italian method of over roasted beans for coffee. Horrible.

PS...that is my only complaint regarding Italian cuisine. Everything else is supreme.

I love their Hibiscus drink. Picks me up during the day.

For coffee I go to my local Echo Park [Los Angeles} “MUG SHOT” for great coffee in an old converted gas station.
