Starbucks were rolled over some rip off of the coffee growers about brand names of the coffee. The one cup of their coffee I've had, stuck in my craw.

I like Starbucks because of the way they treat their patrons & employees (at least the ones that I visit). I don't mind spending $4-5 for a cup of coffee since I don't go that often but it would be less of a pain if the coffee actually tasted good. I have to get the froo-froo drinks because their hot coffees are undrinkable to me.
