RE: At one time long ago, Starbucks served great quality coffee...

So I agree and I disagree with you here.

Coffee has dozens of different coffees so when people say "I hate Starbucks coffee" I always think to myself - well which one?

I had Peet's coffee (regular brew) and yes I like it a LOT more than Starbucks regular brew (which is usually called "House" or "Pike's).

This is not the case for Starbucks Americano which uses their espresso roast - I much prefer the Starbucks Americano to any of their brewed coffees or Peet's Americano - the worst is Pacific Coffee which in all forms is terrible.

Further I have bought bags of Peets coffee (Major Dickerson is one example but I prefer both Starbucks Komodo Dragon - and better still Sulawesi). All of these are dark roast coffees. Peets comes in a distant last place of the three - as a home brew.

Indeed, I recently purchased two medium roast coffees from Starbucks - a bag of Kenya blend and a bag of Guatemala Antigua. The Kenya was meh - not my cup of tea. The latter is to me vastly better - both medium roast - both the same price both Starbucks. If I only had the Kenya I'd be like "Starbucks sucks" Well no. That particular bag of beans sucks.


I don't know why the brewed coffee tends to suck at Starbucks' outlets - so I always get an Americano or a Green tea/espresso fusion or a Latte or anything other than a brewed coffee. Starbucks has a Reserved outlet chain in various location and these locations use more premium coffees and a variety of ways to make a brew.
