    The coffee is okay, but nowhere close to the price they’re asking for.

        You’ll always make a better cup of coffee at home for less.

        But people pay a little extra for the convenience of not doing it. Starbucks however is banking on their reputation to overcharge, which seems to be finally backfiring.

          The coffee is better at home, sure. But I can’t make what is essentially a specialty milkshake at home without going out and getting the tools and ingredients.

          Sometimes I can have little a of Starbucks, as a treat.

            I just found a local place that makes a bomb chocolate coffee shake (I mean uhh. A blended mocha) and support them.

            The worst part is that I can get Starbucks anywhere but only get my local stuff near home.

          I will never understand people who get drip coffee at Starbucks… back when I got things from there it would just be the occasional over the top milk shake. Starbucks legitimately has the tools to produce ridiculous drinks with far less hassle then it’d take at home.

            Is their coffee much more than $2? Last I remember, it wasn’t THAT expensive considering it isn’t shit coffee like a Burger King/McDonalds or etc.

            Or by drip do you mean their like clover machine fancy coffees? I never bothered with those so idk how much that was.
