No, I'm saying their coffee is awful. How many people do you see buying their coffee? What they're buying are the tarted up "coffee drinks" - those vaguely coffee-flavored sweetened milky concoctions. You could make those with the oil drained from my lawnmower and wouldn't be able to tell the difference because of all the masking flavors.
If it's awful, why are you frequenting Starbucks stores?
A couple times in the last 5 or 6 years isn't "frequenting", and I ordered plain black coffee (or espresso) because I like coffee, not froofroo whipped-creamy nonsense.
Their coffee was horrid - cheap beans, burned and priced high.
I'd love to have their margins in my business, but their coffee is bad.
"How many people do you see buying their coffee?"
Plenty. Look at their annual report. Why be so concerned with what type of coffee drinks others buy? That doesn't influence what you buy, does it? I've purchased Starbucks beans since 1991 and haven't found better. Your comments would suggest you have issues more with who buys what at Starbucks rather than the quality of the coffee. If you think it's awful, nobody is forcing you to buy it. Stick with what you like and don't worry about what others like.
