None of this means I am more likely to pick Starbucks although some of the true independents push my tolerance price-wise.
You would have to be nice to me to get me to pay for Starbucks coffee. I normally drink it black so that is the worst tasting coffee I have ever had. I assume they make it that way assuming people are going to want to load it up with creams and sugars. For black coffee drinkers it tastes burnt!
