Starbucks used to be the shit. We'd look forward to it every time we visited Seattle. Now it's basically a multinational fast food chain, obviously. Damned shame...

I read "multidimensional". I think that would actually be more accurate!

The further away you travel from Seattle, the more the quality of Starbucks drops. In Seattle you’re still arguably drinking coffee, by the time you reach London or Budapest it’s burnt, bitter sewer water strained through a homeless man’s sock

Impossible to maintain deep quality at global scale. There’s just no way.

Look into their sourcing and labor practices. Best value in over-roasted coffee and diabetic shakes.

Starbucks lost its way back around 2000, when they expanded past their regional boundaries yet maintining quality control from Seattle.

I’m sure they have better tasting Iced Coffee and Cold brew. They have been innovators of many popular coffee drinks. They are consistent there.

Good coffee, but how do they produce it ruins it for me.
