“Starbucks features average coffee,”
In my not so humble opinion, you feature a tendency to be overly generous in your appraisal. I have never been in a Starbucks but I have tried a sample of their coffee that they sent in the mail and if that is average I don’t want to ever see any BELOW average coffee. I tend to agree with the “Ultimate Jew” on the quality of Starbucks coffee. To me it is the supreme example of the triumph of marketing over common sense.

Perhaps I did. Starbucks has many different coffees. The times I have been to Starbucks there were at least two different coffees to choose from. These are just coffees. It does not include the huge number of overpriced coffee based drinks they sell.
If I had been there enough to really evaluate their products they may rate much worse than just average.
