As for Starbucks, it didn't even place among the top regular coffees and trailed among decafs.

Most people I know don't buy their coffee. Damn, most people I've ever been in line with aren't buying their coffee. It all frappuccino, strawberries and cream, vanilla brevee's, caramel (whateva) etc.

same.

As for that ... never heard of them, Northern Ireland has a wide range choice of "99p 2 GO" or "79p PERK". Now you realize why I like sbux so much?

Again, it's a variety of reasons (at least in the US)

1) Starbucks is everywhere. If you're in a major city center like DC, LA, NYC etc there are bound to be many many starbucks. There are two Starbucks stores about a block and a half away from each other where my dad works.

2) American coffee culture. It seems that a lot of Americans who drink coffee drink it because they want the energy. Sure they like the taste but they don't really nitpick over it; they're the frat-boys of the coffee world. As long as it tastes like they think it should taste and it gives them the effects they desire, they'll drink it.

3) Give me convenience, or give me death. I think more and more people are abandoning the whole "brew your own pot at home for cheaper than buying it at Starbucks/Dunkin's/McD's/whatever" in favor of being able to stop by Starbucks on the way to work and grab a quick coffee.

4) A lot of people go to Starbucks for the specialty drinks. Y'know, the things that are about two shots of espresso and a shitload of syrups and milk and as such aren't really coffee so much as they are just specialty drinks. They don't necessarily go to Starbucks to get plain drip coffee or buy beans.

It's burnt-to-fuck over roasted charcoal for beans.

French Roast coffee came about because they couldn't get properly ripened, high-grade coffee beans - so they burnt the hell out of it to make it passably palatable.

And now people pay a mint for it, because it's French Roast haute shite.

Here, Old-School (1997) Dennis Leary, going off on "Coffee"



Mr. Coffee + Maxwell House 'Master Blend' + water + cup = Coffee

You want to go low-tech, boil it in a tin cup over a camp fire then let it sit until the grounds have settled to the bottom.
Goes perfectly with Chorizo, Eggs, Potatoes, and flat bread at 5am.

You want high-speed, pour measured cups of 194°F water over your preferred dose of fresh-ground #20 sieve sized grounds, into a filtered press, and pour into a cup after 2 minutes of brewing.

NONE of it tastes like the liquid shit that Starbucks is selling at 'An Appendage' for a Small, 'Your Anal Virginity' for a Medium, and 'Your Kidneys' for a Large.

Why would anyone go in Starbucks seriously, unless you're a middle aged woman or queer.  Just go to one of them portable van things that sell hot chocolate, only like £1 usually and very nice. 

Other alternatives are cafes or somerfields/morrisons/netto/ and grab a tub of instant hot choc powder.

I think the cult of people who love to hate on Starbucks is worse than the cult of people who actually drink/go to Starbucks.

IMO.

I'm more of the "Stukas Over Disneyland" perspective, myself.

Though I do see value in the assertation that  "Kinky Sex Makes the World Go Round", that generally is more fantasy than reality.  In reality, it's usually more of a case of "Too Drunk to Fuck" or "Night of the Living Rednecks"
