Just don't buy Starbucks and this MF will magically disappear. It's terrible anyway...
I started boycotting Starbucks when I learned they had partnered with Nestle for store-bought products - their Sumatra and Komodo Dragon coffees were pretty good.
I send an email every year or so to let them know, since boycotts aren’t effective if the group being boycotted doesn’t know why, with predictably apathetic responses.
Anyway, if you’re a no-Nestle person then Starbucks is on the list…
I started boycotting Starbucks since the first time I tasted their coffee. Espresso isn't supposed to taste like burning tyres. I don't understand how they can charge so much for dogshit coffee.
It's not impossible to make a chain of coffee houses that serves decent coffee, Espresso House did it in Sweden.
Most people put cream and sugar in their coffee or get one of milk based beverages.
They are not there for single origin light roasts.
