And it's just mediocre coffee anyway. Roasted too dark just to keep a consistency in flavour between locations.
Starbucks is a tax dodging lifestyle brand, they could start a clothing line and make the same money as they do selling coffee.
I volunteer at food shelters, and every now and then we get something we can't really hand out, like unground coffee beans, so I ended up with a large bag of some Starbucks ultra dark roast of some kind. Had a leopard? on the bag. It smelled like boiled cat shit the instant I opened the bag, went in the compost bin immediately.
