Do you think Starbucks is overpriced and/or overrated?

[Anonymous]

Also, what is with the trend of people taking pictures of their Starbucks cups and posting them onto social media?

[Eelephant]

For sure. It's trendy because starbucks can make a cup of purely whipped cream and sprinkles appear luxerus and appetizing. It's not as trendy as it used to be, but it's still pretty ridiculous. Why spend 5 dollars on coffee everyday when you could invest in your own coffee maker and save so much money. Sure, it won't taste as good, probably because when you prepare you drink yourself you realize how insane it is to use so much damn whipped cream, but that will benefit your wallet and your waist line in the end.

Starbucks coffee is disgusting. Coffee made at home with a decent espresso machine is better than any chain/brand store coffee. You just need proper, good quality coffee beans.

[Oigit]

Heck give me black coffee or the sludge in the bottom of the coffee pot from a few days ago. In a lot of ways Starbucks is a prime example of the deskside of capitalism and the negative phycological effect it can have on people. People thinking something is good because of the label or name racemization it has. You can make some coffee at the half the price that is the same quality and taste of Starbucks and pour it into a blank cup. Then sell it at less half the price of Starbucks. Sit it beside the same coffee in a Starbucks cup and charge the regular Starbucks price for it. Sad thing is that coffee in the Starbucks cup will sell out faster. Despite it being the same coffee.

I think their coffee sucks, but I like my coffee black. Most people don’t care about drinking their shitty coffee because they bury it in two pound of sugar and a half gallon of whipped cream. It’s not my cup of joe. Starbucks if for the ambitious diabetic...

[Starrisunset]

While I'm not a coffee person, I've tried a couple of the non-coffee drinks from there and wasn't super impressed. Especially for the price. One item was kinda like a vanilla milkshake it was pretty good but I probably could've gotten a vanilla milkshake from somewhere else cheaper. The other item I've tried, the strawberry shortcake drink "without the coffee" version and it was terrible. I spent $5 on the small and ended up throwing pretty much the whole thing out. So yes, overpriced and over rated from what I've tried so far.

[A_Bell]

I pretty much look down on people who go to Starbucks. it is terrible coffee that only tastes drinkable when it is loaded with extras and then it costs way too much. The culture around it is also snooty, which is ridiculous because it is the Applebee's of coffee.

[hahahmm]

If you think it's just about coffee, yes it's overpriced/overrated. But actually it's also about the brand & people feeling that buying Starbucks makes them special. If Starbucks didn't have a huge logo on their cups and just had a blank cup, I bet you half of their sales would dry up.

[Anonymous]

Yes I think the coffee is really watered down but it sucks because I like that they offer food and not just pastries and it's my go to when I'm in a hurry. I'm thinking of finding a local coffee shop around me so I can support instead. I used to work there and yeah, the coffee is really weak.

[MalesGOD1]

Would you get your caffeine fix out of a vending machine that costs a ton less than StarB's? Like people who take selfies near sheer dropoffs just for popularity they spend more for their caff fix for popularity.

[NightHawk99]

FAR OVERPRICED!

One of my friends had an interesting story. All of his friends would make fun of him because he got coffee from Mc. Donalds instead of Starbucks, his reason being its far cheaper. He claps back by revealing they're getting ripped off by explaining that both Starbucks coffee and mc. donalds coffee tastes EXACTLY THE SAME.

[MDollarBill]

I think it's the worst coffee I've ever tasted. It's like cheap office coffe that was left on the burner overnight. I'd rather drink the free coffee at Home Depot. Plus, they don't want me to have the right to carry in their stores, and they are woke-tards in most other respects, as well. I respectfully avoid them at all cost.

[EmmaMary]

Personally I find them Overrated and Overpriced, hence why I never go near them.

[Mladenn]

ofcourse it is. yeah they are good, but just too expensive. price based just on a brand name. whats even worse, dumb youth promote it and almost glorify it as luxury coffe lol

[Dazed0N0Confused]

I get better coffee & teas from the local spot down the road. I'll always shop local before i go to a corporate place.

[collie22]

i think star bucks coffee has bitter taste really not as good as other places i've had coffee and the price is higher than everywhere i go. i like midtown coffee across from the park plus they let me work there

[Fireguy17]

I do not drink coffee, and if I did I'm pretty sure I am too cheap to spend that much money for coffee.
But the line I see at our local one says many people don't care what they spend.

[Andres77]

Do you know what "latte" means?
It's Italian for "you paid too much for that coffee".
Yes, Starbucks is way over rated and overpriced.

[Ronald_25]

100% which is where maccies got its USP from, it goes "we could call it a something-chino with some fancy designs and charge you triple, but we don't, enjoy your coffee"

[FilmGuy93]

Yes. Starbucks has become something of a status symbol/luxury item. Which is odd, given what they sell. In any case, they are definitely overrated and over priced.

[BuffHeracross]

It's around the price of other big name coffee shops so I don't think it's too expensive. The controversial thing is how good the coffee is. Most coffee connoisseurs will say it's not good but for me it's alright. I do like their pumpkin spice latte.

[1stranger]

Yes it is unnecessarily overprice. Especially some coffees, foods..

[Aimée__LJ]

Tastes funny, overpriced. I prefer small hole in the wall type coffee places they tend to have the best coffee

[Tuna陶拿恆]

Yes absolutely. It is for showing off, kinda funny. You can make the same things at home at cheaper prices.

[jennifer_bloom]

Their black coffee is reasonable but their mixed dairy or soy drinks cost too much.

[CMC93]

I do enjoy Starbucks, but I wouldn't consume it every day because it is overpriced.

[jamesgoldman]

Overrated yeah
Overpriced it's similar to the likes of alright Costa and sublime offerings of Cafe Nero

[ThePolishKnight37]

I love burned coffee don't you.. I liked Seattle Best better. Starbucks bought them and shut them down. They hate competition. LOL

[Starwitch23]

Yes. It is. It was few days I got myself a Starbuck sipper and It broke. I wasted my 1000 rupees on that shit. The coffee is overrated.

[SpaceGalaxy]

overrated, over priced, but a business genius who had made a fool out of millions of people paying top money for the crap they sell (Ex. Iced coffee, pink drink, etc. at over $4 each)

[JennBITx]

Yes. So over priced. I would go to my old place if they had one near by

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Starbucks is great for basic bitches who love watery tasting overfrothed coffee lol

[Lilycup]

I mean I don't really like fresh Starbucks I like the glass bottles at stores

[rcljr]

Way over priced, way overrated, pretentious, snobby horse piss.

[The-Wise-Phoenix]

Yes.
Dunken Donuts has much better coffee for less money.

[karaspara]

I like it probably overpriced but there you go as for posting pics online I just don't know 😂

[Anonymous]

I have no opinion over that, I would still order from them once in a while.

[Wise4myage]

Yes, I agree. I only go their now and then anyway, but I do love the pastry.

[najekim]

Overpriced, overrated, burnt, not great tasting in the first place, etc.

[Anonymous]

Yes it is overpriced for a coffee but I like it as a place. At least they are not like shit coffees that force you to buy things continuously (it is a thing for some in my case)

[JenniCollins97]

used to like it but now I don't and it is expensive

[Joshua0213]

Yeah and I end up buying a lot haha, not for me cause coffee is gross in my opinion but for my girl

[Adam_West]

people's exaggerated interest in branding has made these idiots narcissistic.

[I_want_a_moustache]

Overrated, No. Overpriced, Yes. I’d probably drink it every day if it didn’t make me spaz out.

[Rawkman]

Yes, It's a bit overpriced and I worked there for five years lol

[Vietnemin]

I don’t pay attention to the brand it’s all coffee to me

[scentoflavender]

It tastes burnt to me. To each their own.

[IAMNathanael]

Dunno. Never been to starbucks

[nolabels]

Starbucks is a money-making joke.

[LiamSawyer]

Definitely overpriced and overrated.

[thehotmessexpress]

Hi. Wanna be my first friend here?

[Aether1]

Dunkin Donuts is way better.

[bannacookies]

Yes I think it's overpriced and overrated.

[IncognitoBandito]

Yes, I've never been impressed by fancy coffee

[topramen1565]

[In_Trance]
